LukeFRC Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 new bass... with 70's style type saying 'Jazz bass' which only a few models use. Plus the headstock shape is slightly off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Logo looks like it has been applied after painting - you can see the join line where it's sitting proud of the paint surface. You can get those logo's (It's the '70s design) for £20 from a store in the UK. Edited April 28, 2012 by Nibody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 ...the 70s logo was typically much nearer the edge of the headstock too, as in the middle pic, above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Truss rod access at the headstock? Look no further, but the £5 tuners, and £2 string tree also give it away. Its an £80 bass, as stated above. Body looks quite nice though, with a 60's reissue Jazz neck, would be a nice LPB looker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brensabre79 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The body [i]might[/i] be a Mexican 70s RI looking at the pickup spacing. But the bridge is not Fender (could have been added) and the screw holes for the bridge cover are in the wrong place (the MIM 70s RI didn't have these holes anyway - again could have been added). The neck is definitely not a Fender - the only Fender necks with truss rod adjustment at the headstock have bullet truss rods AFAIK... So, even giving the benefit of the doubt, this is clearly not a Fender. The body might be but it has been extensively modified to not look like a Fender if it is! Sidvicious1978 is this your bass?
