Adee Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 .... bargain ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112581145181 Quote
discreet Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 I'm no expert on these, but it certainly looks the part. Quote
ash Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 I've made an enquiry and speculative offer so here's hoping 🤞 Quote
Adee Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 Looks to be a bargain at full asking price but worth a punt! Quote
ash Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Yes I noticed that and also the saddles have the wrong type of screws in them but these are typical mods/upgrades of a bass this age I reckon. My 71 P Bass had a bass nut and bridge. Quote
ash Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Also noted the tuners have been changed originals were possibly lollipop types Quote
Cestrian Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Boomtown Rats on the case. Wonder if there's a connection? Quote
ash Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Possibly Pete Briquette played shorter scale basses including Hofner Violins, Kramers and Rics... Edited September 28, 2017 by ash Quote
Adee Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 Looks like it is the Boomtown Rats fella there's a picture of it on their Facebook page https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=boomtown+rats+bass+player&client=safari&channel=iphone_bm&dcr=0&prmd=vin&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj1qezG28jWAhXrB8AKHaFsDhsQ_AUIEigC&biw=320&bih=460&dpr=2#imgrc=_WA1za4qQW8m6M: Quote

ash Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 Hi Prowla - According to eBay it has been sold to me and I paid for it so I don’t know what your previous reply refers too? Glitch in the system perhaps? Cheers Quote
