I'm not a pre-EB expert but it looks good to me.
neckplate,bridge/strings-thru, headstock, trussrod
all appear accurate for a '79. It's a heavy sucka too!
The pickguard appears to be non-original

That is the ugliest sunburst I've seen in a long, long time.

I think the tort is messing it up. Black would be better. My bigges "huh" is the price. I guess I have no appreciation for vintage. I don't get it.

Yup 10.2/3 Pounds, Sounds like one too me, Photos show it to be, But don't waste your Money, buy an Ernie Ball, a Million times better bass for half the money.

+1 and they know how to spray a nice VSB:
EB also does a great job mating 2-piece bodies. I've seen quite a few pre-EB
Rays with drastically different color tones and grain patterns on 2-piece bodies.

The only old skool MM I'd blow money on would be a Sabre.
Even then I'd likely just get a dual pickup Sterling instead.

Although I never thought I would say this about any bass, that tortoise shell guard looks like crap on that bass.

It obviously is a preEB, 3-bolt/string-through, but the only way of proving if it's a '79 is to remove the neck and show the body/neck dates.
The price is outrageous! Typical dealer! It's no suprise he hasn't been able to sell it all year. Although a month ago, someone else did sell a nice minty sunburst '80/81 with 4-bolt neck for $2200 on ebay...still kinda suprising.
Pickguard is not original, it should be black on that era, like mine...

+1 Black is the only real option with baccy burst. Tort is great with sunburst though.
