    As described I need the room now so I've got to sell this bass. It has just been restrung, hasn't got a bad tone but need setting up properly and the lower pickup isn't working. It's dated at about 1970. I bought it in 1991 and the guy told me it was about 16 years old then. Looking for Around £80 but make me an offer. I'm in the Dudley area but can arrange postage at an extra cost. e-mail me at [email protected] Thanks for looking [attachment=55054:Bass_001.jpg] [attachment=55056:Bass_005.jpg] [attachment=55055:Bass_008.jpg]

    Again, thanks for all the help guys. A friend at work is into Guitar restoration/building and is going to have a look at it for me after X-mas. New bridge, frets and nut and another re-wire. The quality of the wood doesn't seem that bad, I'm not expert so don't know what it is. It is quite heavy - as is the Franconia LP copy. As said it really has got a lovely tone.

    Thanks ever so much Jon. LOL I'm not sitting on a collector's piece then PMSL (Hey-Ho!) The LP copy is a 1984 Franconia - absoloutely rubbish, but I haven't got the heart to chuck it as my late Dad bought it for my 14th Birthday present! You're both right about the bridge! You know in all the time I've owned it, I've never noticed how out of alignment it is!!! LOL Thanks for the advice guys. Looks like I've got to put alot more to my Ricky now, never mind

    [quote name='Dom in Somerset' post='689924' date='Dec 20 2009, 05:37 PM']It looks like the G string is falling off the side of the neck! I'd have said that the pick ups aren't original but the neck one does look like it's always been there. One of the best basses I ever had was a tatty no-name jazz.[/quote] LOL Thanks! I think it's the angle of the photo with the G-String !! I've never changed the pick-ups and have had them off to repair wiring and would say they're original TBH It has got a great tone though!

    As the title says: I'm new here, hello everyone! I bought this bass in 1990 from a 2nd hand shop in Kidderminster and the guy at the time said it was about 15 yrs old then! Can anyone help with what it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think it's a model number 407? And the serial number is 1176
