Picklebass Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hey all, I need help identifying a bass i recently purchased. It seems to have had all identifying marks removed including, what i can only assume, was an SN at the back of neck where it joins the body. The only thing that might help is the unusual pickguard shape. Thanks in advance.

James Nada Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 No idea, but I quite like the pickguard shape. Have you tried taking the neck off and looking for any identifying marks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Do this: Take a photo of the bass against a plain white/light coloured background. Save the image to your PC desktop. Open Google and navigate to the images page and drag the photo into the search engine. You might get a match. As things stand (with that image), you're just getting a best match of Squier Precision Bass, which clearly it's not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlloyd Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 It looks something like an Eko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hofner, possibly, with that wide control-panel horn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 It does look to me like a generic P copy with a slightly differently shaped scratchplate & headstock. But as with all unidentified instruments, working out anything at all about it depends predominantly on clear and detailed pictures. Really can't tell much from this, beyond what I've just said!

tommorichards Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 How old is it, this will help name it. Is it short scale? Heasdstock looks hohner-y, or slightly Marlin. Pickguard is westone-y. Any distinguishing features, marks, logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
