discreet Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It does look odd. But apparently brown furniture is back in fashion, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 3 photographs showing effectively the same view - really helpful. It looks like no Fender Precision I've ever seen... and therefore unique! Worth thousands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktmman Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yeh , you are right about brown furniture... it looks a bit like that 1970s G-Plan furniture.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It's one of those Japanese made Satellites isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could do much better for £300.

Bassassin Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Satellite, Korean, 80s. This one's been defretted so the board's probably a bit of a mess. There was a fretless version but it didn't have lines. There's a thread on these here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162312-satellite-basses/"]http://basschat.co.u...tellite-basses/[/url] Includes an old review of this very bass, a Satellite 91. I had one and mine was pretty poor. Jon. Edited April 17, 2014 by Bassassin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to say I approve, but it's not always a deliberate act. Some folks just don't know (or care...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
