Bought this beauty from Gyrus last month…
it was bought to be a “spare” but ended up so much more…
so, I bought it with a Squier pickup and loom, dodgy tuners (listed as such).
first move - tuners.
1980’s Tokai Japan units - work well, big backplate jobbies…
then a posh p pickup - Lakland USA unit
Brand new strap buttons - Gotoh oversized fitted…
and a new fender pickup cover/ashtray fitted…
the good…
it plays and sounds ace
its very light - 8lbs
it really, really looks the part
the neck is gorgeous, maple cap on maple, truss Rod works well
the bad…well, not horrific
body is a ply job, but it’s decent
pickup is a bit misaligned - on d/g side, there is a pickguard on the way to sort, if it arrives after you buy it; I’ll post it on.
Body is probably 80’s Korean or Japanese
Neck is 70’s Japanese; the decal is over the lacquer so can be sanded off - but it looks ace.
there are marks/dinks/scratches. But it’s a very solid bass. Sounds warm and lovely, but can bite/spank.
postage will be £20 in UK
i will accept
cash on collection
bank transfers
PP G&S (I can invoice for pp credit) - plus fees
PP F&F if I know you or have sold to you before.
only reason for sale is that a Yamaha I’ve been after has come up…
