sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone, i know, in my case collecting old mysterious cheap stuff turned to addiction. But for 20€ i couldn't say no. 😂 This is the only pic i got. Any thoughts Mr. @Bassassin and other guys? EDIT: More pics updated.

sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Seems like a fretless one i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Looks like there was a discount on pots and switches... 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Haha, seriously heh, have you ever seen an instrument like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverBlackman Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I’m going to guess that it originates from someone’s shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 New pics from seller. Any guess? Old one or could be something new/handmade/stripped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 If you’re looking for a project I suppose €20 isn’t bad, it looks pretty corroded near the nut so I would make sure the truss rod works Sarakisof or you won’t be able to adjust it and you might have trouble getting another neck to fit if it doesn’t 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Yes sure. Apart from that, do you recognize any signs for identification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Don't think it was originally string through...... Not much to go on, have you tried taking the scratch plate off? might be something under there, or under the pick ups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Wish i could. Seller is far away from my area and will ship it. Asks another 20-30 for packaging and shipping so will cost me about 50€. I'm skeptical because the value of the bass alone is less than shipping 🤣 , the fact that i dont like fretless so much and that i see something wrong about bridge / string / neck position there. Those bridge string holes from the back don't look to be in-line. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Waiting for Mr. @Bassassin infos. If he doesn't know, we won't find it. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 That's kinda cool, I'd pay €20 for it! Going by stuff like the tuners & neckplate it's Korean rather than MIJ. Really interesting/cool pickups and looks like the defret hasn't been too much of a hack job, as far as I can tell. But no, don't remember seeing one the same before (and I'd probably remember!) and I couldn't say who made it & when, beyond maybe Samick or Cort & probably mid/late 70s. Would like to see this pulled apart & cleaned up - I doubt all those switches & pots are original, but you never know. Anyway - buy it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I'm in the same road with you but then there will be even less free space in the house for my son to put his LEGO's. But more instruments for him to play when he grows up, so I'll do it! 😋 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good, after it’s all stripped down, cleaned and working nice, it looks like it’ll be fun to play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarakisof Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 @Bassassin Did MIJ or MIK basses used string thru bridges back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 7 hours ago, sarakisof said: @Bassassin Did MIJ or MIK basses used string thru bridges back then? Not usually - I have an early 80s Washburn which does, but it's not really the same sort of thing. Looking at this, hard to be sure but I think it's a mod - the bridge is poorly aligned & the string spacing's a bit too narrow for the neck, so it looks replaced. The ferrules are all over the place too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
