   The pickups are low impedance humbuckers, and were specially designed for this bass by Les Paul. The three way tone selector switch changes the number of coil turns actually connected to the output, making the pickups themselves cooler or hotter.
   This instrument also has the underbridge mute; these were phased out in 1971, later instruments didn't have them. To engage the mute, the lever at the bottom of the bridge is pulled out, which lifts a felt strip against the strings.
   This guitar has been played rarely over the past 40 years, but lovingly cared for. It is in beautiful condition just waiting for you.
