discreet Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Have you had visual contact with it in meatspace? It looks short scale to me. Edited September 4, 2013 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 [quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1378285021' post='2198012'] Jedson? G. [/quote] I concur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 If not Jedson, then something from the same factory with a different importer's brand name on it. And IMO overpriced by £39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Think I'll leave it - it's not bargain of the century then!! Oh and it's been reduced to £30 Here's the link - it's in Fife, Scotlandshire [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/electric-bass-guitar/1030273561"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/electric-bass-guitar/1030273561[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) You could probably make a few bob by parting out the bits on the Bay. Probably. Edited September 4, 2013 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddy Le Cragg Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I had a white guitar labelled Jedson which was identical to that. I paid 35 and sold it on for £150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 If the strap's included it might be worth offering £20 for it... If it is the same as the Jedson then it will be very short scale > 30" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayn Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 My mate had one of those, in the early 70s. It was dreadful then, I don't suppose it'll have improved with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iiipopes Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Holy.... I have the guitar version that my mother bought for me out of a Sears Roebuck retail catalog in the spring of 1975. Seriously: 4-pole pickups instead of 6-pole pickups for guitar, bass tuners instead of guitar tuners, and the bass bridge moved back to the tail, of course, but the body, body color, neck, and everything else is identical. If I could get it over to the USA, I'd get it today. Here's a video of one exactly like my guitar: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdhCdMXBwpw[/media] Edited September 4, 2013 by iiipopes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Jedson, Zenta, Kay? Same bass different name. Generally considered crap. Sold in Woolworths for not a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Sears Roebuck? Is that the American version of Argos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Had one, rubbish. Came with a nicer strap than that, I still use that. Think I sold to a BCer as a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 My first bass was a Jedson. It had a separate bridge / tailpiece and a plastic Jedson logo on the headstock. I don't think this is a Jedson but it looks identical to my old bass in every way except the bridge and logo. My bass was crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
