[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1350740479' post='1842894'] Anything like this? The Tune Bass Maniac was something of a classic instrument and spawned a whole host of copies and instruments taking their cue from it's design in the late 80's/early 90's. They were high quality instruments but they nor the their copies seem to be particularly fashionable right now. AFAIR there was some kind of internal dispute and two companies ended up making instruments under the Tune brand name. I've no idea what the quality is like of the newer instruments, or indeed if other companies have used the same name, but if it's made in Japan it's likely to be worth your while getting it into a usable condition. Edit: I've just realised you've said you could only find one page that had a bass that looked like yours, which I guess means it's unlikely that yyou'rs is the Bass Maniac! [/quote] Pretty much exactly like that one...worth sorting then? Where the 'Bass Maniac' lettering would have been there is a slightly deeper sanded area, the whole thing has been poorly sanded back ready for a spray job prior to me acquiring it in bits. Having troubles getting photos uploaded from my iPad I'll get some up soon... Richey

I picked up a project that might be a bit too much for me so trying to find some info before deciding whether to sell her on... It's a Jap Tune bass, I can literally only find one page with anything similar on the Internet so I'm kinda ignoring it as there is nothing else to compare against...this particular page has them rated very well indeed and priced at around $1400...is this right? It has some fancy electrickery, weighs nearly nothing (the neck in particular) and is currently sat in bits, part-sanded, ready for a refinish and re-assembly. I need tuners which could prove an interesting search as the headstock is ridiculously slim, otherwise it's all there. I'll try to upload a few photos later. Any info would be hugely appreciated! Thanks for listening, Richey
