kurcatovium Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'd heard korean made in the 80s and I also have a vague memory somewhere in the back of my mind that they also made a bass similar to the Maison ones of the late 80s/early 90s that looked a bit like Bass Collection basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Neepheid and I went halves on one - he got the neck, I got the body + h/ware. Rugged solid bodied 80's fare with hot pups. Not bad really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
