I reckon it didn't start off like this

Quality craftsmanship.

Grant bass...can't say I've seen too many (if any) of their wares...may be original

It looks to me like a homemade body with a Grant neck; Grants were Fender copies in the 70s, similar to Columbus.

Thanks...we live and learn..

What's interesting is that I don't think the body's home-made - looks too well-contoured and shaped, despite the "challenging" styling.

It's a bitsa knocked up around what I think is a pointy-guitar body - note the aluminium plate at the end of the neck pocket, which I think is covering a great big gap behind the heel, presumably to get the intonation right.

Most interesting thing (to me) is the guitar humbucker, which I think is a mid-70s Japanese Maxon. You see this type on Kasuga Les Paul copies quite often. As if you care.

It looks like something Adam Clayton would play !

What's not to like: no tone controls to worry about and a snip at £1000. That's a 'future classic'.....

[TheGreek]

TBF it was only £100....but what's 0 between friends?
