itsmedunc Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) I don't know a lot about these basses (not anything really!). I bought it a few months ago as I needed a long scale for a track. Its well used, quite light and could probably do with a bit of TLC. It plays fine and both pickups work, the tone pot is a bit scratchy but it will probably be ok with a clean. I've tried searching on Google for any info but have more or less drawn a blank apart from MD Music Drive basses, which it may be? Its got surface scratches but nothing scary but certainly not showroom! Cheap cheap bass. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm struggling for a shipping box at the moment but can ship with neck off easy enough or collect from Blackburn BB2. Thanks in advance... May exchange for Badass bridge. Forgot to mention, there's an extra hole on the top horn. Looks like another strap button was there at one time...

ikay Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I think it might be Japanese. The bass on this site (halfway down the page) is branded MD and has a very similar headstock shape - [url="http://www.quest-md.com/en/md.html"]http://www.quest-md.com/en/md.html[/url]. Maybe yours is an earlier model from before they became a Quest brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Cheers for that! Perhaps I should raise the price by a grand by those prices! Edited November 7, 2013 by itsmedunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Really surprised this is still here, got to be worth £50! Reminds me of my old Ibanez SR... err - what P/J bits are you after? Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi, any genuine parts I suppose but wouldn't mind a non genuine decent bridge or P/J neck especially with a maple board. Maybe some seymour pickups etc. Dunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floFC Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I put the description of the bass from the page that Bassassin pointed to through an online translator (http://translation.babylon.com/korean/to-english/) and it turns out this bass has got some seriously unique features The best bits: [color=#5A5A5A][font=arial][size=3]Big connector : 3 - Peace, adhesive Mount you more hard maple[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=arial][size=3]controls : two-volume, one-Saturday lucky controls.[/size][/font][/color] [font=arial][size=3]Now, I wish my bass had a Saturday lucky control too![/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks for the input everyone. It does look like that but I think the pictures are a bit elongated and make it look far thinner than it actually is. Its got a few more scratches than I thought too. I think my lad has been playing it, or playing with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
