WORKING CONDITION: Very Good. The D2 key needs to be adjusted as it swings a little to the left when struck with force. The other 31 keys operate normally and sound great. Both the volume and tone pots function as they should with no dead spots. The noise floor of this Piano Bass is very low, making it a great choice for recording. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Good. There are some rips in the outer tolex, but the case is otherwise in very good condition. The metalwork and chassis are all in very good condition. 

INVENTORY #59032

BRAND: Rhodes Musical Instruments

MODEL: Piano Bass

FUNCTION: Electric Piano Keyboard

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a 1978 Rhodes Piano Bass. The Rhodes Piano Bass is a 32-note electric keyboard that shares the same internal electro-mechanical design as the full-sized Rhodes Mark I pianos. By 1978, the model had transitioned from the "Fender Rhodes" to simply the "Rhodes" brand name, though some 1978 units may still feature older cosmetic components.

SPECS:

• Serial # 2363
  
• Date of Manufacture:  1978
• Manufacture Code: 010459 TBI
  
• 32-Key Range: Specifically covers the range of a standard bass guitar or double bass - E1 to B3
• Swaged Tines: Units from 1978 typically feature the more durable "swaged" tines, which were designed to be four times more resilient than earlier versions, contributing to a more stable and "bell-like" tone.
• All-Plastic Hammers: Unlike earlier models with wood/plastic hybrid hammers, 1978 units used molded all-plastic hammers for a tighter, more consistent response.
• Improved Action: Mid-to-late 1978 models often included the factory-installed "pedestal bump" (part of what is often called the "Miracle Mod"), which significantly lightened the key action compared to earlier Mark I versions.

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: This item comes as seen in photos and does not include any accessories.
