blackparkas Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) A friend of mine bought it on Ebay from a guy in Ireland and have absolutely no clue on what it is. The seller didn´t know either. Neck plate says "KGH" Otherwise I don´t think there are any brands or names on it. Maybe someone here could help us identify it?

Musicman69 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Its an Alembic. Worth a few quid that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MythSte Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It sure looks like a Jaydee, Especially with the XLR out. but i'd have thought it would have said so on the headstock unless its had some major surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman69 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Oh.. Ill have to stand corrected so!! EDIT.. ^^^ this is closer to the mark. I jumped in there way too fast! Edited March 4, 2010 by Musicman69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 What's the headstock look like? Looks like an Alembic rip-off by some obscure Jap company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackparkas Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Weird, there is a hot of the headstock already, Can´t you see it? Strange! EDIT: Do you see it now? Edited March 4, 2010 by blackparkas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackparkas Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Don´t know what he paid. I can ask him if it´s essential for identifying the bass.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman68 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Deffo not an Alembic, they don't make bolt on necks! Either a piece of 80's jap exotica or a small time luthier paying tribute to san-francisco's finest. I remember a luthier called KGB but it's not one of them.

Pete Academy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Jap exotica...I'm convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Perhaps KGH are the initials of the owner. In which case it can mean only one thing: [attachment=44108:MagKeithHarris.jpg] Edited March 4, 2010 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Wazoo Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Jaydee copy, looks like a nice job on the body but with a ghastly looking headstock Edited March 4, 2010 by bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knedy Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hiya! I'm the current owner of the bass. I took the neck of it today and saw a date and a signature. And it do look like Melvyn Hiscocks signature right?

Kiwi Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Melvyn Hiscocks wrote a book on guitar making. He also makes his own guitars, if you're on Facebook you can hit him up here: [url="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Melvyn-Hiscock-Guitars/198415699967"]http://www.facebook.com/pages/Melvyn-Hisco...rs/198415699967[/url] No way of knowing if that signature is his or not but if you send him a link to this page, he might be able to help perhaps?
