NBD: More Charvel Pointiness

Recommended Posts

As some of you know, I've started collecting late 80's-early 90's Charvels, Jacksons etc. Well, I picked a gorgeous 1988 Charvel 2B on Friday. It's a beautiful metallic blue colour and a lovely weight too. 

Despite all the hairspray and Brut on it, it's cleaned up well and sounds fab. I've managed to snap half of the tone pot shaft off, but other then that it's definitely giggable (should they ever happen again). 

These Japanese instruments are super quality and because they're still unfashionable, they're very good value for money too.

Had the same bass (black sparkle) back in the day... yes I had the poodle haircut to match.  Out of nostalgia I bought the same model out of a local FB group 2 years ago and it turned out to be 'the' same bass!  Uncanny.

Only downside was that the pup output was a bit weak.
