I’ve always wanted a Jag Bass and spotted this and thought hmmmmmm interesting??

Then I looked again and there seems to be lots of things wrong with it like the veneer on the front and back of the headstock, the tuners seem wrong style and the neck plate says “starcaster”????

I’m thinking its a gear4music body with a random neck but for £20 I might still be interested.........🤔

Even that would be a waste. That P bass p/u is in the wrong place (the cut out under the scratchplate was probably done with a cold chisel). He admits the heck is warped. The tuners are sh1te. Even the bits would probably not be worth £20.

Yeah your probably right I think I’ll leave it!!👍

A bit of digging suggests that in the 70's they used it for budget guitars and basses along Squier lines.

Wiki says 'the basses were j-shaped' but the only example I've found is  a p-bass:

no wait! Plot thickens:

But at best that one just has the neck plate...
