Although it's not used frequently, there's some slight clouding on the metal parts due to the long storage period. Those concerned can polish them with metal polish like Picards to make them look beautiful. It's a beautiful item with almost no scratches. There are no operational issues, but there's a slight crackling sound when turning the rear pickup volume (middle) while the sound is playing. It's not noticeable when not playing or at low volumes. Please consider this based on my personal subjective judgment and the fact that it is a used item. Feel free to comment if you have any questions. ◻︎Atelier Z KenKen Model mini Bass Buddy of Life ◻︎Short Scale (30 inches) ◻︎Neck / Maple ◻︎Body / Basswood ◻︎Pickups / JBZ-4 Type ◻︎Controls / 2 Volumes, 1 Tone ◻︎Color / Butter Scotch Blond ◻︎Weight / 3.17kg ※Includes the main body and a soft case. #MiniBass #Autograph #KenKen
