tayste_2000 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Quirky little bass I picked up recently, you know because I keep buying and selling hollowbodies Italian made, I have to guess 70's but could be 60's I can't find much on these basses, other than I saw this pic of Les Claypool with similar. It's got a great tone Look at the back of that, that is some nice wood. No case but willing to ship at buyers expense (will only ship to long term BC'ers), else pickup in Manchester/Macclesfield Open to offers on this, not really after any trades Edited October 6, 2015 by tayste_2000
Cat Burrito Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Les Claypool's bass has that headstock that is associated with the 60s EKOs. They always remind me of the Grass Roots; [url="https://www.youtube....h?v=5nZnqtDdsws"]https://www.youtube....h?v=5nZnqtDdsws[/url] I really wanted one of these a few years back and they were reissued. Nice basses, and a quirky alternative on the Hofner.
only4 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Just seen a very similar one on tonights Jools. Sounded great!
tayste_2000 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks for the heads up, will defo check it out always after a reason to keep it
Bassassin Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Very cool bass, I've seen these go for a lot more than £250. I think it's a model 995, probably late 60s, not sure if these survived into the 70s. Jon.
chriswareham Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Same neck as my Eko semi-acoustic, which will mean that it's very slim and comfortable
SpikeBass Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Any more photos of this? interested if you ever heading down London way I would seriously consider this.
tayste_2000 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 I'll try and get some tomorrow. I'm down in London generally once a month so could work something out.
tayste_2000 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Sorry for the delay [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/xmtmy9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/15p3dwl.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/15h05yg.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/2cpbxoj.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/2rei8gm.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/atqiiv.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/24b4s2s.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/fth5wn.jpg[/IMG]
