FuNkShUi Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Pictures will definitely help identify them. Best regards Captain Obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Being less facetious Im sure someone will be able to help. Lots of folk willing to share their wisdom on here. Id say try to take some pictures of all them seperately, and include serial numbers if you can find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Bit sarcastic perhaps ? If he is new he may not know how to post pictures yet and if a relative has just passed away may have other things on his mind. To the original poster: yes I'm sure we can help you.

AdrianRose1988 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks guys, i work as a website developer so should be ok finding my way round the forum. I will get some pictures online as soon as. Thanks for your quick response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I use photobucket. Then you copy the link next to the picture you plan to upload, paste it on here, and you're done. Im sure there are other ways, but this should be a pretty easy option for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianRose1988 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi People i have the pictures of the Hofner and the Ibanez but not the yamaha as i was being lazy. The yamaha is a black BBN4 3 i think. Here is the Ibanez image Here is the Hofner image, there is like no markings on the hofner just this number stamp at the back which is 1072 Any Feed back would be great thanks Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The Hofner is a 185 Artist but those are not the original pickups or pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianRose1988 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Cool, is there any way of finding out the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The Ibanez would be a BTB-QM4 with a non-standard sort of bridge cover sort of thing. Nice basses but nothing too valuable or rare unfortunately! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianRose1988 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 My grandad had a carpentry accident and did these to a lot of his instruments, its easy to get off and doesnt damage the base. I am not looking to sell them just wanted to get some info for me really. Thanks again people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] They were made from about 1963 into the 70s, I had one 40 years ago ... but Happy Jack will be along soon with all the Hofner details.

AdrianRose1988 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I look forward to what 'happy jack' has to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The Ibanez is a BTB450QM, I don't really know about its value but I'd say somewhere between 200-300 Pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieBass Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think 'Happy Jack' has already passed comment on that Hofner in a separate thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
