knirirr Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Not long ago I found a picture of my first bass, probably obtained in around 1994 and for not much under £100 new, though I can't recall the exact details. Did anyone else have one of these? BTW, for the watch fans here, here's the watch worn in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I had the exact one - bought in a fit of Pearl Jam inspiration - probably around the same time. Had the same colour too. A little while later I wanted a Jazz pickup in it and, being a cocky 20 year old, decided to do it myself and made a complete balls of it. Still, a fine bass for what it was.

BreadBin Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I have a Ltd83 - the posh version and one of the nicest Encores I've ever played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall that - do you recall how it differed from the basic model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had gold hardware instead of chrome, the body was wood (i.e not painted), and had a tortoise shell pickguard. Quality was exactly the same as basic model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
