Bass_Guardian Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 My friend has this bass called a Spider Bass apparently. He doesnt have any pictures ready available at the moment might have some tomorrow though. The only details i know is that its got minor dings, a kinda dodgy input jack. It has a P/J pickup arrangement ( jazz at bridge side ) 4 string model he thinks it was maybe made in china Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommorichards Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Google images call up nothing. What body styling has it got? What kind of headstock..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass_Guardian Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sorry not that outshined.

The BC Rich would have been worth a few hundred. I think he'd be lucky to get 100 for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I found that the same one you linked to failed to sell on [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/spider-bass-guitar-amp-and-leads-ideal-starter-/270713533188?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f07c8b304"]the bay[/url] for a ton, so I might be right.

tommorichards Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yeah. Just a generic starter bass. Not a bad platform for modding though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It's worth 20p, how does he want paying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Spider is an importers brand, and they seem to specialise in very low budget instruments. A mate bought one of their acoustic basses for £50 and had it delivered to my place, so I took the opportunity to check it out. Very nice to look at (for the money) and it played reasonably enough, although the intonation was out at the dusty end; to be expected with an uncompensated bridge I suppose. A few years on and it hasn't developed any problems and my mate is still using it in his living room for the times he can't be bothered to set up an electric. However if you do a search of this forum you should find comments about the acoustic saying that they're only fit for firewood (in fact I think someone did actually burn theirs ). No idea if they did anything other than cheapo instruments, but I'd suspect that the bass you mate has probably sold for under £100 new.
