James Nada Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Can anyone shed any light on what this bass might be? Woolworths? (Sorry, only the one picture) Edited August 30, 2019 by James Nada Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Can't put a name to it but I suspect the money you spend getting it "right" will be more than it'll ever return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Here we go: This is from a mid-70s catalogue for the Maya brand. The same basses were sold with dozens of different names on the headstocks and very often unbranded, so if this one has no brand, then that's what it is - a no-name. However, these are believed to have been made in Japan by Chushin Gakki, which was a major manufacturer during the 70s copy era. Chances are, it won't require much more than a good clean, a setup and new strings to put it right - these aren't fantastic instruments but they are sort-of cool and sort-of collectable these days. If it's cheap (under £50, say) it looks like it'd be a fun little project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
