sub6 Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Hi all, this bass is currently residing in a charity shop near me and is supposed to be a fender squire (what the lady in the shop was told) but I have obvious doubts. I have not been able to handle the bass and it has no visible identification and the model / name looks like it has been removed from the headstock, so any bass chatters able to help? photos were taken on my phone so appologies for quality [attachment=41821:P1740_01__04_02_10.JPG] [attachment=41822:P1740_04_02_10.JPG] [attachment=41823:P1741_01__04_02_10.JPG] [attachment=41824:P1741_02__04_02_10.JPG] [attachment=41825:P1741_04_02_10.JPG] Ta Lads an lasses Sub6 ps it's selling for £70.00 Quote
Bassassin Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Absolutely not a Squier. This looks like something from the late 70s / early 80s, probably Korean, that's been modded a lot - those humbuckers aren't original & neither's the scratchplate judging from the fit. This might be an old Hondo or something of that ilk - but whatever it is I think £70 is a bit optimistic, it does look pretty ratty. If you could get it for £40 or thereabouts (unlikely, I guess) it might be an interesting-sounding project with that pickup arrangement. Jon. Quote
mep Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Looks worse than my first bass! It's in the bass bargain bucket alright. Might make an interesting project to see what you could do with it, if that appeals to you. You should try it, but don't expect too much. Not worth anymore than £50 at a push. Quote
Jerry_B Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I agree, not worth 70 quid if you don't know what it is. I'd say even 50 quid is pushing it a bit. But it may be full of surprises once it's done up. I'd be interested to know what it sounded like, given all of the stuff that it seems to be stuffed with. Quote
hillbilly deluxe Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Can you still get Humbuckers like that ? Quote
silverfoxnik Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Forget the bass and buy the 'Carry On Camping' VHS behind it!! Quote
