Booga13 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254595183241 The old Yammy or Ibanez tag makes me interested but I just can't identify the beast, any ideas? Edited May 17, 2020 by Booga13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I don't think it's a Yamaha. Those dot markers in the neck are very distinctive, I've not seen them on a Yamaha. Also, there is no dot marker in the first fret, the truss rod adjuster doesn't look right and the bridge and knobs don't look right for a Yamaha either, though they could be changed.

AndyTravis Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I don’t think it’s either. Nor worth more than £15... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I suspect it's a Hohner, but I can't really pin down why I think that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It's been around for a while - IIRC he had it for sale for around £600 last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booga13 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Yeah, I was struggling to arrive at Yamaha. Saw it on gum tree or something similar a while back. Not really tempted, just curious😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 That's funny - there was a post on here last week, someone wondering if they should buy this: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/429286-what-make-is-this/ Never spotted this on Ebay, but it's neither Yam nor Ibby, just some generic cheapo P/J that some idiot's brutalised with power tools. The inlays are curious but something - maybe the overall condition and wilful mutilation it's suffered - sort of make them scream "stickers".

lemmywinks Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 This has been cluttering up my local bass searches for a while, the seller sometimes has some decent kit for sale but he's dreaming with this one. Having a look at his other items yields some interesting results: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MENS-TIGHT-RUBBER-LATEX-SHORTS-WITH-DUAL-ZIP-OPENING/254595103952?hash=item3b470cfcd0:g:IRQAAOSwN~deVnsV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booga13 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 Well found Hooky, that sure looks like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 There's an easy way to find out if the bass is a Yammie or Ibby or the Encore. Ask the seller for the weight? Yammies, Ibbys are fairly lightweight. The Encore would be heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually easier to look at it and go "no, Yamaha & Ibanez never sold anything remotely like this piece of broken tat". Quicker, too.
