Donnyboy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Anyone heard of such a thing - I've googled without any success. This is as much info as I have - maybe it spins easily? Any info gratefully received Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gust0o Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The top Google entry is an old Ebay listing for a P bass with the same headline description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Can't say that I ever remember a Fender Dusty Hill sig bass! I'd imagine it'd be a Tele/P bass model but ZZ Top have been using Bolin instruments for a while (not as early as the 80's though ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_Bass Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Pretty clean for a mid 80's bass, the headstock almost shines! I also notice that the neck's heel stands out a fair bit from the neck pocket (see back pic). I would bet on a fake but for £100 it deserves a try.

warwickhunt Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sorry I (wrongly) assumed that we were talking of a 'Fender' bass, whereas this doesn't profess to be a Fender (though the Gumtree ad does clearly state Fender) and is in fact just a cheap P bass copy. The ZZ Top reference is spurious at best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
