Such a shame I missed this. I could have killed 2 birds with 1 stone, buy a great bass at very reasonable price and get a free neck for my heavily modified Shergold Marathon with short scale non original neck. ( which is fantastic anyway )

I'd be interested to buy the neck alone if new owner doesn't need it

Cheers

Cash is the king at the moment as I have the chance to buy a bass I am after and need to raise cash
but I may be interested in a trade as well so don't hesitate to show me what you have.

Hi
i have a little mystery to solve
I recently bought this used vintage 'Made in Japan' badged jazz bass copy.
Can anyone help me to identify manufacturer and year it was made ?

I have seen many similar looking basses on the net / Aria model 1540, Electra, Greco, Maya, Sakura, Hisonus, Elk BS-490YSB, Fernandes Burny, Columbus /
but none of them identical

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Probably Columbus made by Matsumoku in 70's

Hi I am wondering if you have this amp still for sale

Hi guys, mainly all Fender Jazz Bass enthusiasts.

My name is Lubo and I am new to the forum.

I recently bought this secondhand bass guitar from Cashconverters in London.The guitar was sold to me as "Guitar Fender Jazz Bass" / it is printed on sales receipt and price
tag sticker / I knew almost nothing about evaluating the authencity of a Fender Jazz Bass so at first moment I was quite sure the guitar was real Fender despite strange scratches
on the back of the headstock.

Now after doing some googling i have serious doubts whether it is authentic Fender or "Fakender"
If anyone could help me to identify this bass guitar it would be greatly appreciated

What I have found out:

The body:
grounding wire to the bridge I have seen only on Japan made Fender or Squier 62 reissues

11 screw pickguard I have seen only on Japan made Fender or Squier 62 reissues

chrome control knobs fit non Japan Squier


The neck:
decal I have checked serial number with guitarproject website and it says th guitar was made in japan in 1995 or 1996
but I think the decal is fake.

skunk stripe neck I have not seen on Japan made Fender or Squier, mostly seen on Mexican Fender or China,Korea, Indonesia Squier

tuners with oval shaped
machines and gaps between them would fit Mexican Fender or non Japan Squier

scratched out area on the back
of the headstock would fit Mexican Fender decal but would not fit Squier decal

trim around the truss
rod access hole fits Mexican Fender

Any ideas?
