noelk27 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 That finish looks better in reality. Well, it did to me the day I wandered into Sound Control, in Glasgow, and saw three of the two pickup versions lying on the floor, on top of their hardcases. Circa '87, and SC was asking £550 for each. Walked out with mine for £480. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It looks like a Shergold marathon with a Wal neck and parts........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbassist Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I really don't know much about these early models and just thought it looks cheap. That said there's another very similar bass on eBay which looks equally poor. Perhaps it's just an early model, but it looks cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have this model over the later models every time. Edited November 21, 2011 by noelk27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
