Hiya, actually no. My dads from the West Midlands. He was gigging then and still gigging now. I love your story though. Dad has similar ones and some of the gear he had and had to trade to keep the gigging up. The one in a photo I have looks to be an early Gibson ES335 which he tells me he traded it for amps cabs etc which got nicked 2 days later.

Hi John, i've had the neck off. There was a remanence of a sticker there but no answers unfortunately. I've seen some electrics in a Tokai made P bass which are very close but actually I've come to think its a well made Columbus. I have only pics to go on but ive found a few that seem identical to all the detail I can see. Its a shame, if it is a Columbus for all the bad rep because I really love playing this bass. Sure, new Fenders considerably better but there's no doubt this does the job and it feels like your playing history.

Hi Paul, this is my 1st time using this site and I accidentally posted twice. There's another listing with several pics but I admit I missed a rear headstock shot on the other too. Thanks for your help

Hi everyone, really happy to be a part of this group 😁 Id like your thoughts on a P Bass copy I have. My dad bought it 2nd hand in 1986. Its a real good player and has seen many gigs. I've always wondered what it really was and now it's mine, I'm doing a little digging. The Fender decal on neck is hand painted and someone has stuck a home made precision sticker on there lol. It's also been damaged at some point, could even be a replacement neck. Maybe it was in a punk band lol. Seems to fit the body well though. It has a heal trus rod. I've removed the neck to find the reminance of a serial sticker but it was to far gone. The body has a block above the E which on a Fender would suggest mid 70s onwards and there are holes to suggest it had a bridge and pickup cover. Pots are 250k 05A Noble and one of the cables is blue. It looks like one of the Italian Melody P Basses but the made in Japan neck plate suggests otherwise. Any ideas appreciated 😊
