James Nada Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) A friend has acquired this Bass from a colleague. Any ideas what it might be (I'm guessing late 70s catalogue POS). It's 30" scale. I think it looks kinda cool...

James Nada Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1462740759' post='3045418'] Carvin sold a broadly similar bass, which was simply a re-branded Tiesco instrument: [url="http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/66-basses.html"]http://www.carvinmuseum.com/decade/66-basses.html[/url] [/quote] The body shape and pickguard look identical. The neck and headstock a little different - a later model?? Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Looks like a different scale length too? Check the bridge positions of the two basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Late 60s MIJ, possibly made by Kawai or Teisco. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Headstock and tuners look like Jedson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Might be the same as used on some Jedsons, but Jedson was just an importer brand. Owned by J. E. Dallas & Sons Ltd (subsequently Dallas-Arbiter), if you're interested. J.
