The bass is in reasonable condition and all original parts are included although there is one odd tuner. I bought this purely for one of the MIJ tuners that I needed for spares for my Shergold bass. The electrics will need attention as they are buzzing although there seems to be a signal from the pickup. The neck and body are very solid. Great project for someone looking for a cheap backup. I'll post for £15 UK only but pickup preferred.
Would they be suitable for a Hofner violin as the silks often sit over the nut on some short scale strings so what's the length of them minus silks? Thanks
Here it is ply jap crap Gibson 70's copy - it's a Columbus probably or even a Grantson. It's got 'Made in Japan' stamped on the backplate. It's short scale and the front of the headstock has been resprayed and the tuners replaced with more Gibson like units - though the bushings are lost. The bass is in surprisingly good cosmetic condition. Truss rod works and the shimmed neck is ok with decent frets. I won't lay claims to it being a wonderful 'lawsuit replica' that will instantly make you play like Jack Bruce or Andy Fraser but it actually does a decent impersonation of the EB thump. The thumb rest is missing but amazingly the chrome hand rest isn't. It plays ok though the action is not the lowest owing to the bridge design it's still easy enough to move around on and could go lower with some bridge meddling. No gigbag will post in the UK for cost. SOLD
I bought a Shergold Marathon 6 from Augusto - great communication, quick delivery - three working days from Italy! The instrument was packed securely and arrived in excellent condition. I've chased this bass for around three years so I'm very happy. Buy with confidence.
It's at the back Martin, below the neck plate is a serial number plate - remove that and there is the trussrod adjustment at the body end like on Hayman instruments.
A nice shiny Gotoh heavy duty bridge boxed with mounting screws in excellent condition suitable to upgrade any Fender style top loading bridge. Postage will be an extra £3. Sold!
This pickup was taken from an 80's Squier Precision and come complete with metal earth plates. They are boxed and in very good cosmetic condition and function perfectly. These would be great to refurbish an old MIJ or even US Fender with non original pickups. I can post recorded for a £5.
Looking to sell these two pedals -
