Bassassin Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 I thought £141 was a bit high for that tbh - looks like the seller probably did too, considering the lower BIN. J. Quote

No idea what. I thought that zerofret is a member here, and perhaps he'll explain. Quote

Bassassin Posted March 26, 2011 Author Posted March 26, 2011 Haven't ploughed through the text yet but from my (somewhat limited) knowledge of 60s JapCrap, I think it actually is a Teisco for a change - those fretboard edge position markers are supposedly unique to Teisco, according to those who claim to know! Pretty damn cool old bass though, shame about the Dulux refin but that should come off easily enough. In other matters, the CSL Jazz is quite interesting - it's the same as mine (and one owned by Waldemar, of this parish) except it has the later & more common Ibby Blazer-shaped headstock. The Sumbro J looks very appealing for £99 - might even be tempted myself if I hadn't just bought [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180641451274"]this[/url] off the lovely Mr Tino for £25!
