Can anyone tell me what this bass is?????

[pazsunday]

I bought this bass about 5 years ago, haven't got a clue what it is!!!!

Can anyone tell me what it is/a copy of????

Cheers

[Josh]

I remember seeing those around on Ebay a good few years ago, to me they are basically a copy of the Vintage V800-V950 series, well the body is anyways, which is modelled on the Bass Collection, I think.

Do you know how much i should be asking for it?

Hmmmm I'd say you could probally get between £80-£100, maybe a little more.

Is that a thru-neck?

The name is on the headstock - [url="http://www.jandd-guitars.com/index-1.htm"]just google it[/url].

What this forum needs is a smiley for DOH!

Kinda looks a bit more like a copy of an Ibanez Soundgear rather than a Vintage? Even the shape of the head isn't a million miles away...

Horrible web site. Harmony-Central had one review where the cost was 270 euros. They sell a LOT of models. Didn't take the time to find an exact match.

certainly looks like a copy of an SR1000 or SR700, EQ is slightly different though

as for price though i didnt find anything on a search for it

Here's the only price I could find on a J&D bass guitar in the UK. Not the same one, so I'm not sure if this post is of use to anyone.

It smells like Ibby!... ;-)

'Pure' SR copy from image, except the body - couldn't find similarity on Ibby, though, maybe it a lil bit goes to JTK, doncha think like that, Mike?


Cheers,
Faith there ;-)

headstock certainly looks like a cross between the SR and the JTK/BTB one. the lower bulge on the body(bridge area) is similar to the JTK but i think overall its close to the SR range just not as rounded on the body edges.
the lower horn is certain shorter and more stumpy than the ibby ones.

but for the money they are going for on that site they look a steal.

Try this link.

I saw one of these in a local shop (mad monk music Kendal) for £270 and I found one on the web for £199 and I like the look of it but I can't find any one who's had one to tell me what its like.

I really liked the look and feel of it.
