[/quote] Some more good guesses, sadly it's not a Nu-metal style bass or infact a bass of the sea, although that looks like it could do quite a few dinners! Good idea though dating back the GAS to what music was around then, but another clue is the music was still a little bit older than that which I liked when it came out but had no clue about playing any instruments then!

MarkG3 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 It's been dispatched, but will take a couple of weeks as I've had to import it from across the pond, at the time of searching for the bass there seemingly were only two on eBay.com and none on eBay.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britpop - You've bought a Precison Bass? 80's? you've brought a steinburger 70's - you've bought a jazz bass? 60's? - You've bought a precision bass? 50's? - You've bought a precision bass? 40's? you've bought a saxophone.

MarkG3 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I believe the bass was in production from the 70s-80s. I first heard this bass on an album that came out in 95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
