Hi guys, 

 

I bought this on a total whim last week. Its a gorgeous thing, nice Japanese build quality, 32" scale. However after playing it over the last week I've come to realise I prefer my full scale / full size basses so I'm going to move it on again. Yes, I'm a shameless bass tart. 

 

It really is quite small --- the body is pretty much the same as a Les Paul Junior (guitar) and from the top of the headstock to the bottom of the body its not much different in size to my acoustic guitar. 

 

"the internet" doesn't know very much about these---there's a thread on here from a few years ago where someone went "does anyone know anything about these?" and the answer was "no, but they look cool". Pretty sure they were Japanese domestic market only which would explain that. 

 

Complete gallery of pictures here (being slightly cheeky and re-using some of the ones from the dealer). https://imgur.com/a/ojHLARs

 

The bass is 24 years old but is in good condition. Given the age there are a couple of dents in the finish, I think the worst one is the one on the lower horn, which I have tried to photograph. 

 

Yours for £250 collected. I can also post it, I have the packing material that it came to me in --- can probably only post on a Friday though (its my WFH day so I can be in for a courier). 

 

TRADES wise --- I'm not desperate for trades but something semi-hollow, or a nice J flavoured thing might appeal. Can potentially add cash for the right thing.
