Thanks for the input. Im not at all sure of the year Jeff built it. With the help from this forum im slowly gathering info. The control cavity does look original? Im wondering if Jeff put any dates in the neck pocket, maybe ill take a look

Its a Jeff Finch bass. I knew Jeff from the age of 12 unti he sadly died, but lost touch during the period when he was making and repairing guitars. He lived just down the road from me. I bought the bass for sentimental reasons. I wish he was still around to tell me about this instrument

Sorry to bring up this subject again but after a lot of detective work ive been unable to find any history of this fine bass.  Think it was purchased by Peter Tappern a band leader who passed away in 2017 but other than that?

I knew Jeff from a young lad untill he sadly passed away but lost touch during the years this bass would have been made which i guess would be early 90,s?

If anybody  recognises the bass or knows someone who might i will be extremly grateful

I knew Jeff Finch from the age of 12. He and his wife were mates with my sister. I had not seen him for many years but by a chance meet discovered he lived just down the rd from me in St Osyth. I last saw him just a week before he sadly died.   He was a perfectionist and could turn his hand to anything. Just recently i have sourced a Finch bass the craftsmanship is just typical of jeff. I would be most gratefull if anybody recognises the guitar and knows any of its history
