I know theres a stigma attached to the name Encore. However, these early 90's one really are decent bits of kit as opposed to the ones you see in argos today. See this old BC discussion on them...

My completed project was a pleasure but its really just being an ornament at the moment so im offering it up for sale here. After much research I believe it is an early 90’s encore. There is a thread on the Bass Guitar section of this site that discusses them. I got it off the bay where it was advertised as a Squire with a fender decal. The bass was filthy when I got it and so after a good clean up I decided I wanted to get the Pino/Classic Vibe Squier look with tort plate. I whipped the useless stock pups out and the corroded wiring. Fitted a custom built (mini pots) Kiogon harness and some Axesrus pickups (very impressive set with same specs as wizard thumpers but potted) and straight away the bass sounded miles better. I got Howard (Bass Doc ) to knock me up a custom tort pickguard from the original white one (very retro, naturally yellowed which ill chuck in with the sale). New pickguard screws from axesrus (the old ones were severely corroded) and a thumb rest/tug bar. Swapped out the weird string tree for a more ‘fendery’ one I had in my parts box All cleaned up and fitted I did a full set-up and got the action comfortable for me. Being a pick player it is still slightly high but there is plenty of ‘go’ left in the truss and saddles to lower it. Id say at a push it may need a new nut, either that or just re-grooving a little. Previous owner applied some sort of Fender decal (dosent appear to be waterslide) and this is under a few layers of laquer and what looks like light wood stain. The tuners are VERY good and resemble the early Reverse tuners very well. The neck is rather chunky. Not that wide exactly but certainly more C shaped than D (if that makes any sense!). So in total:- Bass - £65 Pups - £25 Wiring - £25 P/Guard - £20 (I think) Screws - £3 TugBar - £5ish Picato Flats - £15 + set up and damn good clean by me[list] [*] £158.00 [/list] Welcome to come and try it out through my rig (or yours if you want to cart it J. Price wise ill accept [b][i][u]£130[/u][/i][/b] with no trades at the mo and not really desperate to get rid so no offers (yet haha). Pics to follow although there are some on the most recent page of the Precisions thread of the gear porn section. Any questions let me know EDIT: Further investigation seems to suggest it could also be a Sunn Mustang - sorry for the vagueness!

Would love this.....if only is was the 100w version or even better the 135

On Hold pending ususal
