hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 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 October 20 Share Posted October 20 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 October 20 Share Posted October 20 @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 October 20 Share Posted October 20 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 October 20 Share Posted October 20 (edited) Neck: bolt-on, 24 frets, maple, widish. Body: very asymmetric. This is distinctive, and should lead us to the right brand. Edited October 20 by itu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 (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 October 20 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 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 October 20 Share Posted October 20 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 October 20 Share Posted October 20 Judging by the extremely underwhelming poplar burl facing, I'd say it was a modern Spector. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 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 October 21 Share Posted October 21 (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 October 22 Share Posted October 22 Might we have found evidence of 'innovation' from Fender then? 🤭 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 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 October 22 Share Posted October 22 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.

EMG456 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Is it not maybe a Tune bass? Japanese manufacturer first seen in the 80s with the Tune BassManiac. I may be wrong cause the cut in the bottom of the body looks the wrong way round. Looks like a nicely made instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
