[quote name='Bassassin' post='220900' date='Jun 17 2008, 08:00 PM']I really don't know how many we have collectively (I've got 3 - sort of!) but I think we should start a thread in Porn & see if we can find out... [/quote] Continue my one!

[quote name='Bassassin' post='219154' date='Jun 15 2008, 11:32 AM']The SG/EB type bass is another of these very early mystery basses - they come up quite often, nobody in JapCrapCollectorLand actually knows what they are. There's a BCer who recently got one off a bloke down the pub: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18646"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18646[/url] So yes - it's one of them, with replacement pickups & the nice metallic red paint ripped off. See the link for a full explanation of how little I know about them! [/quote] Another one - Sakai mean anything?

[quote name='noirpunk' post='218842' date='Jun 14 2008, 02:30 PM']It doesn't matter what it is... it's an absolutely pants copy.[/quote] True

[quote name='Bassassin' post='217969' date='Jun 12 2008, 10:07 PM']That's a Kay, not a Teisco - Teisco never made copies. Might be a laugh if it was £20, but pushing £70 delivered is a bit OTT for that, I think...[/quote] Well it's close enough - Teisco purchased Kay in the late 60's. I used to have a Kay branded Teisco from about 1969.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='217812' date='Jun 12 2008, 06:05 PM']How much do you think it's worth then. Not that I'm intending getting it like... but when I look at it I can't help thinking that a dip into the holiday fund and a thick ear from the missus wouldn't be such a hardship for this thing of beauty. edited for spelling[/quote] Yeah, how much? Lampeter is where my in-laws live.... edit - having seen his other auction, i know he's on the same road, recognised it straight away!!

[quote name='Bassassin' post='217758' date='Jun 12 2008, 04:38 PM']Again - shockingly expensive, particularly considering it's not original & you'd need to remove all the crap he's slapped over it.[/quote] Is there anything concrete in what i've read that there were "series" of columbus guitars? mine have varied in quality, and this one looks quite cheap. Logo and headstock are different to anything i've seen as well.

[quote name='Stu-khag' post='213256' date='Jun 5 2008, 03:02 PM']Im after a fretless bass and saw this on ebay... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Fretless-Bass_W0QQitemZ190226366359QQihZ009QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Fretless-Bass...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] it just doesnt look like any jazz Ive seen... modded and sanded quite a lot... apparently mahogany. any thoughts guys?[/quote] Whatever it is, it's not a Fender.

I had one a few years ago. Nice recording bass, very even pickup output. Something bothered me about the neck, and I never figured out what, it just didn't feel right. Don't know if it was the profile or the radius or what. That said, I'd still pick up another one if I saw one for the right price. I only sold it because we had a baby...

Am I correct in thinking that jazz bass pickguards vary in size between the models? How different is this sizing? I've got two J copies, one scratchplate I ordered fit perfectly on one, the other needs modifying a little to fit the bell plate, but otherwise it lines up. Have I been lucky, or are the differences not that noticable?
