Thurbs Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi all, not a big poster, more of a lurker but thought I should break cover and ask if you could help. Bought this guitar on ebay for the princely sum of £80, the previous owner had no idea what make/model it is. It has no marks or features which could have given me a clue. Any ideas? Thanks, Richard.

Happy Jack Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I think you'll need more & better photos. Headstock Tuners & bridge Pickups Neck/body join Is it active or passive? Any idea what the fingerboard is made of? Is the apparent "dimpling" in the wood a function of the photography, or evidence that the body has been mucked about with at some point?

Stylon Pilson Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Can you offer a closeup of the headstock, ideally against a paler background? S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurbs Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi all, thanks for the interest. All pics: [url="http://www.brookband.com/band/private/gallery/unknown-guitar.aspx"]http://www.brookband.com/band/private/gall...own-guitar.aspx[/url] There are some scrapes and marks on the body and the neck isn't as straight as me (ooh err), but it plays ok.

waynepunkdude Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Looks like a nice bass for the money whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenie Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Its a 5 string fretless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I've never seen a headstock like that before - maybe a previous owner got it made up for him? The rest of the body looks a bit Bass Collection-y, late '80s Japanese anonymity sort of vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Something about the finish of the body says home made, but the neck looks like it's come out of a factory. Looks like if could be quite a good bass though, especially for £80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoiho Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The extended neck heel, joint, pickups, and hardware, are all very like those on my Jackson Concert 5. Pretty generic, but oddly similar. Although the Jacskson pups have Duncan branding on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
