Roger2611 Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I quite like the body shape, it's a shame the headstock looks so "Heath Robinson" as it looks like he used decent materials to build it, I would be tempted to chop the headstock off and convert it to a pretty cool looking headless bass?

Hi Roj, long time no hear! It's the head thats a big problem for me. It looks like a moose! May very well weigh as much too. Has a 60's Eastern European look... 1 Quote
TheGreek Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 I like the body - the rest? Not so much... Remember...NO NEED FOR AGUSTING I can't remember the last time I agusted.... Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Junk! The tuners are back to front - except for the wacky 'G' tuner where the baseplate is overlapping one of the others. It looks like this has been put together by someone who doesn't understand the basics of how a bass works and didn't plan the project properly. What are the odds that it is impossible to intonate?

lemmywinks Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 This is near to me, crops up on my local bass searches. It's been on eBay a while now, strange combination of what looks to be solid if bizarrely implemented woodwork and clueless, hamfisted bodgery. I'm thinking the scratchplate, dodgy tuners and wonky string trees were added later. Quote

fleabag Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Some basses listed under the vintage umbrella defy logic. He must be looking for a seller suffering from hard of thinking Quote
