Mars DC-3 bass! EMG Soap bar pickups, 18V EMG Active EQ, Neck Through, LED side fret markers, very well balanced, and sustain unlike any other bass I’ve seen, heard or played. Fantastic tone pallet. Hand made in Houston Texas by Dannie Cates in Houstin Texas. I believe in 99 to 2000. From what Ive read these are very rare. There's not a lot of information on them. Kubicki style tuning system also from what I've read. Really a RAD guitar, stays in tune very well and plays great. It's in very good condition with just a few nicks and scratches as seen in pictures. No case with this one, but will be packed well and shipped UPS and Insured as all my guitars do. Message me with any questions, feel free to check my feedback and buy with confidence, and thanks for looking. God Bless
