Have a look at that Bass VI subreddit (yes I know, it is Reddit, but occasionally there is something useful)

And finally, with the strings on.
I think this thing was pretty well cared for. Only needed minimal setup, slight intonation on one string to the point that I havenāt bothered yet, truss rod is perfect, nut height is fine, and the action is okay, maybe a little high but not bad. It will need a pickup height tweak but no big deal. Love the humbuckers on this thing, sounds great.
Only thing I donāt love is the gloss painted neck. Really grippy on an otherwise lightning fast bass.

On transparent gloss finished natural wood necks this does not look bad. On a black gloss neck it might look turbo dumb, so no.

Beautiful. Well preserved too.
Well if you donāt like the glossy neck thereās always a baby powder options or the SuperGlide roll on.

Yeah great clean mid bass for a shorter scale. One would think that it would have more sub bass. Very similar to Bartolini but a bit less nasally.

I havenāt pulled the cover off yet to verify but apparently itās a quad-J. Two pairs of bright ceramic J pickups with each pair wired in reverse-polarity series as humbuckers.

My 300 was from '86 also. I was in 2nd or 3rd grade when it was made.

I like to take a fine polishing compound to my painted or glossy necks. Itās amazing how much of the stickiness goes away even when my hands sweat. Might ease the feel. Cool bass!

This is one of the last white Performer 4. Not sure if they will release a follow up in this price range.
