    I checked one out at Guitar Guitar in Birmingham last week and left very disappointed… The yellow burst on the back was very poor indeed….Speckled and no wood grain showing.

    I wonder if its the same one i looked at, or if they had another in since?

     

    Glad i'm not the only that thinks its way below par for what they charge for um.

    I had a look at a sunburst,american vintage II 1960 reissue precision in guitarguitar the other day, it was a lovely bass, the feel and sound were superb even through the little rumble 25 amp they had for demo.

     

    The thing that struck me, that i really didnt like was the way the yellow bit of the burst looked like it was sprayed onto MDF( best way i can describe it really), a sort of speckled look to it with no visible grain underneath at all, the chap that i spoke to said he had a '58 reissue and that was excactly the same.

     

    The 62 reissue before didnt have that look about it, and ive trawled photos of original 60s basses online( never got my hands on a real one,never likely to be able to afford one either😅) and all seem to be translucent enough to see some grain underneath?

     

    Anyone else seen one and noticed the same?

    Yeah, its got dots at the usual 3, 5,7,9 ,12 etc., on the spot where the fret itself would be usually.
     

     

     

     

    are there fret markers on the edge of the neck on this bass ?

    Bought a trace head from ValleyArts, couldn't have asked for a better dealing, sent a load of extra photos of the amp, and video, packed it up for posting very well and got it sent to me the next day.  Absolutely spot on. Thanks again.

    Only ever seen one other sanox besides that one, it was a guitar though but still called sound creator, if memory serves the logo was green , a mate got it second hand when we were at high school getting on for 20 years ago now, but it was already pretty old then. :lol:

    Same funky shape,in sunburst but no pickguard and 2 humbuckers which looked like the old cream dimarzios, headstock face was black too, seemed pretty well made and sounded decent as far as I recall, no idea what happened to it though.
