itsmedunc Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've got to go to Heywood next week, probably sometime on Tuesday. If anyone is interested I could pick it up and help with postage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Those with long memories might remember these on Ebay probably 10+ years ago, think they were less than £200 new. I do like the body but that tort's pretty horrid. Wants a maple board too, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Why has he chopped a piece out of the headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Interesting.... I have a Fretless version of this. Same brand. Different headstock and control knobs, I think I paid £50 for mine with a more traditional shape headstock. Not a bad bass overall but I'm not sure whether it's walnut/maple or a veneer.

BassApprentice Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Just out of interest what colour pickguard would look better? I've been thinking about it for a while but can't think of what to change it to.... Edited October 24, 2016 by BassApprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 If it's got proper routing for the neck pickup - none. If not, probably black would work best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1477333582' post='3161531'] If it's got proper routing for the neck pickup - none. If not, probably black would work best. [/quote] I have a feeling I've looked before and I don't think the routing isn't suitable for no pickguard. Just did a quick mock up and black doesn't look bad at all. Edited October 25, 2016 by BassApprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
