Bassmonkey Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Anyone got a view on which maker produced this? (Not mine and yes I know it looks like junk). My pals just picked it up for a tenner Japcrap? Eastern European? A very rare early Leo Fender prototype? Quote
Pea Turgh Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I like that a lot! I’ll give your mate £20 for it! Is it short scale? Quote
Bassmonkey Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 Ha ha. I don’t know mate. Think he wants to keep it. Having it set up this weekend. Quote
Guest MoJo Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Is it an Oak Furnitureland Jazz Bass Special? Quote
Bassassin Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 It's an Eko, 80s, B series. Not too many pics so tricky to pin it down to a specific model. A few very close relatives here: http://www.fetishguitars.com/eko/eko-the-final-years/eko-cb-series/ 2 Quote
Bassmonkey Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Bassassin thank you. I’ll pass it on Quote
Bassassin Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 That's a properly cool little rarity for a tenner. Looks pretty intact from the pics, and should scrub up nicely. Quote
Woodinblack Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Like those litte humbuckers. I would certainly gig that. Bet it weighs a bit though. Quote
Pea Turgh Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Is it long or short scale? What woods? I’d love to see some more pics please! Quote
Bassmonkey Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Apparently its short scale. I'll get him to take a few more pics and post em. Thanks all 1 Quote
NikNik Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 What's that for the top horn strap button? An old cupboard knob?? Quote
bigsmokebass Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I believe that's the Musicman Joe Dart Prototype 😂 4 Quote
Bassassin Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Pretty sure there used to be links to old catalogues & specs on the Fetishguitars page I linked to. Can't find them now. Gah. Quote
Pumpalump Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Hi all, Owner of the Jules Verne style Bass here. Glad to make your acquaintance. Currently getting set up / overhauled with new strings. Thanks for all the feedback on this. Ill post some more pics when I get it back for those that are interested. Quote
Pea Turgh Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Congrats on the £10 bass! Not seen one before, but it looks ace! Quote
Pumpalump Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Cheers, it’s Old School. Let’s see how it looks and plays when I get it back next week. Quote
Pumpalump Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Ok folks, picking the Bass up tomorrow so looking for amp, recommendations please. Small and compact preferred with effects. Quote

Small and compact preferred with effects. Budget? For a similar price to your bass you could get this: The only thing is, it's not small or compact, but does come with a free 4x10 cab Quote
Bassmonkey Posted March 23, 2019 Author Posted March 23, 2019 Phil. Let’s have a chat. May be able to help. Andy Quote
BassAgent Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Yeah that's 100% an Eko. Here's one with the logo on the headstock: Quote
