1967 Mosrite Ventures Bass (SOLD)

Mosrite instruments were built by Semie Moseley in Bakersfield, California from the late 1950's to the early 1990s. The Mosrite Ventures Bass, along with other Mosrite instruments, features a shaped top, and this is a direct influence from Roger Rossmeisl, who was at the Rickenbacker plant when Mosely apprenticed there. Roger Rossmeisl was responsible for many ground - breaking designs, including several Rickenbacker models and the Fender Telecaster Thinline.

This 1967 Mosrite Ventures Bass is in original condition. It has a 30 1/4 inch scale length, with a nut width of 1 3/4 inches. THe body is basswood and the bolt-on neck is maple, so it's fairly light and resonant. The lacquer sunburst finish is original and has some wear and checking but is in decent condition.

All in all a very cool vintage bass!
