    That will definitely not survive regular trips to Africa. 🙈

    Why not watch some YouTube videos, won't cost you a thing, and you'll get an idea what they sound like?

    1988 MIK Columbus Series 3 PJ bass in metallic gun-metal grey, serial number 880134. I believe these were made in the famous Samick factory in the late 80s and early 90s. Very well made. Has a straight dark/rich rosewood fingerboard (been lemon oiled) and satin amber flamed maple neck. Truss rod fully working, minimal fretwear. Very lightweight at 7.1lbs, 40mm nut. Had some upgrades: Ibanez machine heads and bridge, Entwistle JBXN (neodymium) jazz pickup. The bass has volume and tone for each pickup and 3-way switch. The original pickups were weak and frankly pretty rubbish, so I was in the process of upgrading them to Entwistle neodymium’s, however I haven’t got round to getting the Entwistle P neodymium, just too busy, as a result both pickups are NOT connected, so not currently working, however you just need to solder the pickups to the 3-way switch and it’ll be a lightweight monster! The cavity for the electrics is huge, and could easily accommodate Active electrics and battery if desired, though it’s currently all passive. In overall very good condition for it’s age, has some sticker marks by previous owner. D’Addario strings. £85 (sale only, no trades), plus postage.

    You never ask a man... what size is it? 🤣

    He may Finder a return if the buyer finds out it's fake.

    This should be on Grand Designs 🤣

    Contact BTN Music, they do Yamaha spare parts, and if they don't have it in stock they're order it for you. https://www.btnmusic.co.uk/

    Looks like an old German Musima Action.

    Think it was a Univox super fuzz.

    It looks like the wire connecting or joining the pickups together is broken?
  18. hooky_lowdown
    Check the wires and solder points. You may have inadvertently screwed through a wire when replacing the covers. Else you may have pulled the wires and loosened the solder somewhere, either wires from the pickup, or those attaching it to the pot.

    Totally agree. 👍

    Would a rare old Mercedes, totally original, which had new (top quality) tyre's devalue it? Absolutely not, same thing applies to frets on a stringed instrument. The only time a refret may devalue it is if it was absolutely mint, and a collectors piece, but then, the frets on that bass would unlikely be used, therefore wouldn't need replacing!

    My point is they will increase forever, why? Because of inflation. The cost of everything increases over time, nothing is exempt. Are they are worth the money, that is entirely down to the buyer. As I said earlier in this topic, originality, rarity and desirability all play a factor. I disagree that 50s and 60s fenders aren't rare. Many were butchered in the 70s and 80s, parts replaced, finishes striped, pickups added, these things devalue some if not most that were made, therefore original ones are more scarce and escalate the value. Worn down frets etc won't devalue, in fact a professional refret will only add value.

    Those definitions regard furniture, not instruments.
