Bassmonkey Posted March 15, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I like that a lot! I’ll give your mate £20 for it! Is it short scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonkey Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Ha ha. I don’t know mate. Think he wants to keep it. Having it set up this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoJo Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Is it an Oak Furnitureland Jazz Bass Special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 15, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonkey Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Bassassin thank you. I’ll pass it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 16, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Like those litte humbuckers. I would certainly gig that. Bet it weighs a bit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Turgh Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Is it long or short scale? What woods? I’d love to see some more pics please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmonkey Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 What's that for the top horn strap button? An old cupboard knob?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsmokebass Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I believe that's the Musicman Joe Dart Prototype 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 16, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
