Monckyman Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thought I`d post this link that I found of interest. It needs translating from French but it scans ok.

lemmywinks Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 My music teacher at high school had one of those, lovely looking basses. I seem to remember the brass nut was goosed and the E string slipped off occaisionally. In fact i think that was the first bass i ever played, maybe my love of natural thru-necks runs pretty deep!

Bassassin Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 These are probably Matsumoku but I don't think it's confirmed. Not that it matters, they're lovely MIJ through-necks, these are rare as the proverbial & I'd love to get my hands on one! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case i see my old teacher around and feel like making an offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hard to say because it depends on demand/interest at any one time. The Vox brand's collectable in itself, and high-end MIJ stuff like this can be quite dear - look at the prices Aria SBs & 80s Ibanez can fetch. However making an offer is quite a different matter, depends how cheeky you want to be! I'd say if you could blag one of these for under £200 it would probably be something of a bargain - but that's a total guess! These hardly ever come up on Ebay so I have nowt but speculation to go on, I'm afraid! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
