Hi guys, I got trade offer on Marina jazz bass. I've never heard of the brand. Seller says it's Korean made in early 90's. I have few photos, but they're not great: [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/102688194342149552341/MarinaJazzBass"]https://picasaweb.google.com/10268819434214.../MarinaJazzBass[/url]
Is anyone here who can provide some information? Honestly, the bass looks quite cheap and resembles Squiers or so, apart from the bridge which looks like Gotoh 203.

From the big Bass Collection topic (Obscure Musical Backwaters):

[i]In the mid-90’s, probably in 1996, SGC Nanyo went bust.

Almost immediately a new range of Bass Collection basses appeared, made/marketed by a firm called SX, sometimes labelled “through Marina”. SX are probably Korean, but I can’t confirm that. The early SX versions of the Bass Collection range were apparently pretty decent, though not as good as the SGC Nanyo ones. [/i]
