Bassassin Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) Now sold on Ebastard. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120590911861"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...tem=12059091186[/url] [attachment=53507:body2.jpg] [attachment=53508:fullfront.jpg] [attachment=53509:heads.jpg] [attachment=53510:bodyback.jpg] [attachment=53511:issues.jpg] [attachment=53512:body.jpg] This has a couple of issues - reamed truss adjuster, dents under E string on the 13th & 16th frets but it's a really nice, playable bass. No point in me waffling on about it - the pictures & Ebay guff tell it like it is! The listing's on for another week but obviously I'll pull it if anyone here fancies it. Jon.

bassaussie Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 These are such cool basses. I remember seeing a few of them in Australia when I was growing up, and I can remember seeing the brand name "Canora" on at least one example. Do you think the neck through design has much impact in the sound?
Hit&Run Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I've got a through neck Satellite P bass from the 80s which is extremely similar to this. Mine's got a rosewood board though.
Rumple Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I have a very very battered one of these, although mine has through body stringing, built like a tank and sounds very good Good Luck. R.
Bassassin Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 Look closely at the headstock & you can see this one used to be a Satellite - wasn't me, the logo was already gone when I got it! In the US these turn up with Memphis logos, and there are a few different variations - the fretless is quite common. Really the only reason I'm selling is too many Ps and no real use for them - and it's a bit 'eavy! My back's not what it once was... J.
Hit&Run Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 [quote name='Rumple' post='885459' date='Jul 4 2010, 01:43 PM']... although mine has through body stringing, [/quote] ...and so does mine. I was looking out for that similarity.
andy67 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 In my Experience and if I recall correctly...these were catalogue basses and I would assume that since they were fairly cheap, there was inconsistencies. andy
Rumple Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I wonder how many Basschatters have one of these, maybe we need a thread in the Porn section R.
Bassassin Posted July 4, 2010 Author Posted July 4, 2010 Just out of interest - since everyone's got/had one, Bassclef posted this in the Ebay JapCrap thread, after this got [s]plugged[/s] mentioned: [attachment=53548:Satellit...1_review.jpg] Really - the body ain't rosewood! J.
