daz Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) I saw a Jimmy (or Jim) Harley P bass today. Has anyone ever heard of it? Cant see an y info on it really, beyond someone else asking the same question. Anyone know of it, I assume its a cheapo? Anyone played one? ps: i think it has big old brass string tension rollers on the bridge (minds gone blank on the proper name for these) and a solid piece of metal for the bridge itself. Not bent tin like some cheap guitars these days. Edited November 20, 2010 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) I've an old Jim Harley strat copy and its a good little guitar. The tuners and jack are the only downside, low quality stuff. Body neck and pups are all fine. Edited November 20, 2010 by Mog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Just been in to view it. Pretty light, maybe 8lbs, it had the strings through the body. Guy reckons it was imported into the UK maybe 15 or more years back as a [url="http://www.davenicholasorganist.com/pipe-organ-manufacturers/rushworth-and-dreaper/"]Rushworths[/url] own make similar thing. (no idea if this is true) It had [i]made in korea [/i]on the back. Edited November 20, 2010 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenie Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 My bandmate from Killer B-Movie picked a P-Bass copy Jim Harley from Cash Converters yesterday for £40, he says it plays and sounds real nice. He rekons they are constructed somewhere rubbish but with genuine Fender parts? Not sure where he got that info from though? Anybody shed any light on these basses?

Meenie Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Had a go earlier on at soundcheck, sounds bloody great for a budget bass! Nice to play too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
