Musky Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Jon would probably have had your arm off for this, as I know he's a fan of 'snot-glo'! It's a Matsumuku made bass (the manufacturer that made for Aria, amongst others). If the serial starts 00 it'll be pre '75, as that's when Mat started using sequential serials - before that they were random, so not much good for dating the bass. For any more than that, you'll probably have to wait for Jon to come out of retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Could it be that this bass has been on BC before? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/56466-for-sale-ricky-copy-by-vorg-1973/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Schoen Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hmm, old thread, but I would love to get one of these if one ever comes up for sale. I love the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loralai Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Hi chaps - I've been off radar for ages but just logged in as I'm selling my Vorg. I've had it and played it for a few years and it's been amazing but new bass and new baby forces sale! Anyone interested? I want to get back what I paid but not looking for a huge profit - there must be a few Jap-£$ap geeks out there who would love it like I do! Details are the same as my original post........................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
