Action looks extremely high in some photos. I'd be a little concerned with that.

The input jack definitely looks like it was replaced too. (I believe these basses had a coaxial input jack, believe it or not, making it virtually useless to plug in today). And that PUP doesn't appear to be original either. AFAIK, the Clubman basses only came with either 1 or 2 single coil lipstick type PUPs, and I've never seen that particular PUP on any Clubman basses before.

Pickup looks like one of these: https://reverb.com/item/59255008-silver ... e-in-japan

Definitely a replacement. Also seems to be missing its branded bridge cover.

That action looks like it's set up for slide playing! :shock: That bass needs to tuned a 1/4 step down, so when you push a string down, it will be in tune...
