I had one of these, £20 from the local car boot. Looks like he wants £100 for this in which case absolutely no.

Otherwise it's a OK-ish low/midrange MIJ 70s cheapo, worth about £40 in this condition. Pretty low-rent compared to the Antorias & Shaftesburys of the era, this was made by Chushin Gakki and is the same as many of the Columbus, Avon & CMIs that turn up - plywood body, single coil fake mudbucker, cheapo hardware, but could have a decent neck if it's not too thrashed.

There's an element of historical curiosity as Grantson was a slightly cheeky brand used by defunct Scottish music chain Grants Music, who had shops in Edinburgh & Glasgow.

My first bass was a Grantson fretless 'Jazz'... Sigh!
