kingofthestuntmen Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Came back from a few days away to be presented with this by my dad .He picked it up, along with a well used but serviceable gigbag and Boss TU-80 tuner (boxed), at the local car boot sale. Not sure what the additional woodwork round the pickup is, and I'm not looking forward to sourcing a scratchplate, but I'll get it over to Mark at his earliest convenience and see what he can make of it.

lojo Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I've got one of these from the early 90s (in fact I've given it to a friends son by I see it all the time) Was my pub gig bass for many years and there was nothing wrong with the playability or sound IMO Great find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd hunt down a EBMM 2 or 3 band EQ for it! If someone else here has one then getting them to trace around their plate and pop it in the post to you to use as a template should be easy enough?

stingrayPete1977 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Btw John deacons pre EB looks cool, burst but with a white plate, it stands out really well check out the another one bites the dust video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Damn - this is happening more & more often, s'not fair! There's two large boot-sales near me but the best they generally offer is 1920s brass ornaments & tatty Matchbox cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofthestuntmen Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 I was thinking a tort plate, but we'll see what comes along. And in case anyone was wondering, he got the bass, bag, tuner and leads for £35.00..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molecularelk Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Hi Kingofthehuntsmen and all else, Thats a great find, a mate of mine bought one of these off........ ahem...ebay for £50, but the electrics have been butchered. Any chance you could take a photo of the pots etc and post it up so I can return it to how it should be. Cheers in waiting Molecularelk Edited January 15, 2015 by Molecularelk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
