hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted Sunday at 00:52 Share Posted Sunday at 00:52 My first thought was Ibanez, but I can't find anything like it. Tried a reverse image search as well and drew a blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted Sunday at 07:30 Share Posted Sunday at 07:30 My first thought was a ESP Bottom Bump………but the upper horn contour isn’t quite correct. i’m also thinking it might be from Ibanez, but can’t for the life of me give a model suggestion.

binky_bass Posted Sunday at 08:31 Share Posted Sunday at 08:31 @neepheid - where did that image come from? Any further clues to be gained from revealing the source of the photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted Sunday at 08:33 Share Posted Sunday at 08:33 Quite a chunky bridge that I don’t recognise and large pole pieces on the pickups, I’d be interested to know what it is too , is that 24 frets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itu Posted Sunday at 08:41 Share Posted Sunday at 08:41 (edited) Neck: bolt-on, 24 frets, maple, widish. Body: very asymmetric. This is distinctive, and should lead us to the right brand. Edited Sunday at 08:41 by itu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted Sunday at 08:44 Share Posted Sunday at 08:44 (edited) The inward curve on the bottom of the bass is ringing some bells, but, for want of a better word, that 'ledge' carved into the side is really distinctive but doesn't ring any bells at all. Not sure I've ever seen a bass that has that before. Edited Sunday at 08:48 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted Sunday at 09:39 Share Posted Sunday at 09:39 No. I think cheap bass trying to look expensive. not horrific. possible own brand, like Carlos robelli type stuff in US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted Sunday at 09:42 Share Posted Sunday at 09:42 As Hellzero says looks like a Chinese copy in the style of Ken Smith BSR ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simisker Posted Sunday at 10:12 Share Posted Sunday at 10:12 Judging by the extremely underwhelming poplar burl facing, I'd say it was a modern Spector. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted Sunday at 11:11 Share Posted Sunday at 11:11 There’s a row of stuff like that at the back of A. Remus Sound in Gloucester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokl Posted Sunday at 12:38 Share Posted Sunday at 12:38 Looks vaguely Fernandes-y to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted Monday at 12:43 Share Posted Monday at 12:43 I've definitely seen that flourish around the rear strap button before - probably AliExpress as I do go roaming there fairly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted Monday at 14:28 Share Posted Monday at 14:28 (edited) AliExpress BTB knockoff? The carve and accuracy of the dark veneer stripe looks too good for that though, they're usually super wonky. That bridge looks like a cheap import I had on on my Shine 6er and also on my old Cort for a bit, can't see enough of it to be sure though.

snorkie635 Posted Tuesday at 15:41 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:41 Might we have found evidence of 'innovation' from Fender then? 🤭 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted Tuesday at 15:52 Share Posted Tuesday at 15:52 Still no closer to working out what this is - the bottom edge of the body has kind of been stolen/inspired by Dingwall maybe? But the rest of it looks pretty generic. Funny how even with the power of the internet, you still can't answer everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted Tuesday at 16:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:11 I just lifted my Jamstik off the stand (it was hidden behind something else) and the reason for the familiarity of that flourish round the strap button becomes clear. I'd done some research when I first got this, and it's based on an Asmuse Leaf. However, although they make basses, they're all headless, which is a Good Thing in some ways but doesn't help with an ID on the subject at hand.
