Was a matte black finish ever a factory finish for the American Special Precision Bass? I found a used one with a matte black finish, and I don't see matte black listed on the website for the current models. I was wondering if somebody just sanded down a gloss black finish.

I've never heard of such. Unless it is ridiculously dirt cheap, I'd pass on it. A refinish cuts the value in half, and unless you dig a flat black bass you'd have to figure in the expense of a professional re-finish. What year is it, and is it totaly original in every other respect? What does the current owner have to say about it?
