Does this look like an MIJ Squier to you? Machine heads look wrong to me, but I'm no expert. Looks like an MIK to me

£100 if you take it today

I'm no expert but it looks manky... maybe need a clean up and a new set of strings

How long has it been in the shed, I wonder?

 

 

I can't really see the machine heads or logo on the headstock from the grainy pics.

Looks as if it's been used to sweep the chimney

String tree is in an odd location.

So who keeps a (legit) Bass in their shed??

[Geek99]

I quite fancy that as a project but he is nowhere near me

This is pretty close to me but I know nothing much about Squiers! Ive looked at a few pictures on the web - is the truss rod adjustment on the heel on Japanese Squiers? Is this bass worth a punt??

White and maple, mmm... I'd like to rescue this, but it's just too much of a hike.

Still there? Amazing if so. If this turns out to be an E or A serial (IMO looks like it could be either) then it'll be an awesome bass for £100.

Or if you're an unprincipled gyppo, a potential £250-ish profit.

Could it be 32" scale?

I think you have to say 'unprincipled Romany', now.

Don't think so - the bridge position looks correct for 34".
