bagsieblue Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Selling this as a "No Name" Jazz Bass Copy. Based on the shape of the headstock Possibly Made in Japan? dating from 1970's or 1980's?, although I cannot prove that. It is certainly a half decent bass, sounds exactly like a Jazz Bass should. A good looking bass overall with a very attractive maple neck and board with black block inlays, brass nut. Comes with the chrome pickup covers as shown in some of the pictures. Has recently been given a thorough health check with a professional inspection set up and re string. Everything works as it should, a couple of the tuning pegs are stiff but they have been recently lubricated so just waiting for that to work through, there is is a little playing wear on the pick guard. Pictures below (hopefully this works): More pictures or information are available on request. Price is £150, preferably collected from Chorley, Lancashire. Any trial or inspection is more than welcome. Please feel free to contact me, check out my feedback and thanks for looking.

andy67 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 From one of the images you can almost make a name out. I can see what looks like an 'O' at the start then an 'S' cant see next; then 'T' 'E' & 'N'. Lovely looking bass though. At first I thought it was a columbus but the head stock put paid to that idea. Good luck andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 The headstock decal said O SEVEN, which must have been nothing but a personal thing for somebody at one point. I've had this removed at the recent pro set up so as not to mis describe or mis represent the bass.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy67 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks, it was driving me nuts trying to find the manufacturer. I trawled hundreds of old sites and put in different combinations of the decal imprint in the last few minutes to no avail. It is stunning and I have never seen a headstock like it from that era. Closest look is the newer SX stuff. Hope someone can identify it, its very interesting. Edited January 6, 2013 by andy67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 The headstock decal was in two different fonts where someone has obviously 'customised' it. If you look closely you can see the '®' mark after the final letter 'N', this is probably part of the original deal and maybe the 'E' before it was as well if that helps. Of course, once this wood has seen a bit of UV light the decal imprint will disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
