Could be passed off for a few years old[/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Top two tuner buttons non-original[/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]One volume pot is a bit stiff[/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]The back plate was missing - I made a new one - while I was about it I put switches in for the coil taps - these are well done and set level with the plastic so won't be knocked while playing or rub or anything. [/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I've only got a bass gigbag for it[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Hello what kind of bass is this?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Er... it's not really a bass Bob is it? It's a guitar.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]I didn't know you played guitar![/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I don't really, I was given this and thought I would learn.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Have you got so good you're buying an awesome-shreadocaster?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Er what? guitarists talk funny[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]er... So why you putting it up for sale?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Well I play bass and would quite like money to buy a Thumb bass.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Can you tell us a bit more about it? [/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Sure. My aunt had it in her cupboard and thought it was a playstation controller. Before it was in her cupboard it seems to have been well played and had a recent fret dress. It plays well.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So can you tell us about it?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Well it was a model of Yamaha SG made in Japan for the european market in about 1985-86. It's not one of the cheap ones, but it's not one of their top of the range ones either. Mahogany body and neck, maple cap, rosewood fingerboard...[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So is it a Yamaha version of a Gibson SG?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]No, SG stands for Solid Guitar - if anything it's their version of a Les Paul, but with their own shape. [/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So does it sound like a les Paul?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Bob I'm a bass player, and put it through a little practice amp, I don't know. Actually when I was thinking about selling this before I went around the shops and played a load of guitars, it seemed to me that you would have to go over a grand for similar quality which is why I chose to keep it. I was most like the gibson les pauls, with a skinnier neck. Sound wise.... er humbucker type tone... .I don't know the differences! It sounds really nice on single coil mode too, a bit like a slightly fatter sounding tele on the bridge- again I'm a bass player so I have no confidence describing electric guitar comparisons. It sounds good though. [/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]So what do you want for it?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]I dunno, they don't come up for sale often. High end SG's go for thousands, the low end and tiwanese ones for a couple of hundred. How does £450 sound?[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]What about trades?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Try me - a nice bass of some kind? I have no money to throw in but have my Jazz bass (based on a Squier japan silver series body/alder body refinished by yours [/font][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]truly) as possible addition for the "right bass"- not jus' any ol' crap ken. [/font] [color=#008000][b][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]Sounds good! Where is it?[/font][/b][/color] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]It's in leeds. Due to my crappy amp it may be easiest if I bring it to you and your amp locally.[/font] [b][color=#008000][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif]What if I don't live locally?[/font][/color][/b] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Live near a train station? Pay for my train ticket (return), I'll bring it to your door.... (within reason) [/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][b][color=#008000]Any other photos... [/color][/b][/font] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]yeah I'll stick them in the next post[/font] Edited February 20, 2013 by LukeFRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
