paul_5 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's up to £16 on eBay at the moment, and I just wondered whether it would be worth a punt or not- I though it looked a bit 'Washburn'y, but could be wrong.

paul_5 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks Andy, looks very similar but the Arbour has 3 knobs in a linear arrangement, not the 4 knob 'diamond' pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Looks like it's a Marlin Sidewinder; a KB24 to be precise. Plywood body. Thanks to Andy for your keen eye. Edited August 5, 2016 by paul_5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I had a Marlin Slammer. I stripped it. The body was about 4 blocks of wood with a thick veneer on each side. It sounded fine. Squier bodies are just the same IME. TBH, looking at the lack of shaping of that body - that tells me it's blockboard or ply. It's a real budget-bass anyway.
