► Product Overview
1978 Greco PB-500 Precision Bass Natural - Made in Japan by Matsumoku
Up for sale is a true piece of Japan Vintage history: a 1978 Greco Precision Bass, proudly manufactured by the legendary Matsumoku factory. Based on the specifications—including the beautiful natural finish, red tortoise shell pickguard, and the classic bridge cover—this is highly likely the PB-500 Mercury Bass model.
Instruments produced by Matsumoku during the late 1970s are highly sought after worldwide for their exceptional craftsmanship, resonant tonewoods, and authentic vintage tone that rivals the American originals of the era.
Specifications:
•Brand: Greco
•Model: Precision Bass (Likely PB-500 Mercury Bass)
•Year: 1978 (Serial Number: B781751 MATSUMOKU)
•Body: Alder (Estimated 2-piece) with Natural finish
•Neck: Maple with Rosewood Fingerboard
•Pickguard: Red Tortoise Shell
•Pickups: Original Split-Coil PB Type
•Weight: 4.15 kg (approx. 9.15 lbs)
•Accessories: Soft Case included
Condition: Good

This bass is in Good playing condition, showing natural cosmetic wear consistent with an instrument that is over 45 years old.
•Body: There are scratches, dings, and signs of aging throughout the body, which add a fantastic authentic vintage patina.
•Neck & Frets: The neck is straight and plays comfortably. Fret life is approximately 50-60% remaining.
