Jonesy Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Looks like it could be a Jedson? No idea what they're like, but I think I remember that shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I have the guitar version, always fancied the bass so I had a matching pair. These were sold with various brands (including Jedson & Zenta, as mentioned) but very common unbranded. These were most likely made by Sakai Mokko around 1970/71 (they turn up branded Sakai) but the same German-carved SG body appears on instruments made by Teisco Gen Gakki from the same era, so there may be some element of collaboration, or use of post-factory closure salvage parts, one direction or the other. The vandalised neck on this one shows it has a strip-ply construction, like many MIJ guitars from this era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teyeplayer Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 My first bass was one of these. Got it for £50 from a backstreet guitar shop in Northampton (‘Pauls’ if anyone remembers it) when I was 13/14. Sold it to a mate when I was 16, but really should have kept it. I hover over these every time one comes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
