madiccy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I stumbled upon this Bass a few years ago and seem to remember being told it was Italian or Spanish (I really cant remember which) Anyhow I'd be really grateful if anyone can help Thanks in Advance :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Looks like a Schecter to me. Head stock may have been remodelled though. Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) It's a Shaftesbury, made by Eko in Italy. Edit: Model 3266. Edited January 15, 2013 by Musky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madiccy Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ahhhh Shaftesury...... thankyou both Musky and Truckstop but yes Shaftesbury rings a bell :-) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Definitely Shaftesbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilLordJuju Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 yeah, i've bid (half heartedly admittedly) on a few of those Shaftesbury tele basses. Especially the ones with the cream body. What do you think of it as a player? Does this one have a painted back of neck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madiccy Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Excellent Info Thanks.... I'm not a player actually, I just liked the look of it at the time (bit retro) yes the neck has been painted but is not original...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Looks like the pickup has been replaced, the one that's in there was made for a bass with much wider string spacing and doesn't fit the hole in the scratch plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes it has been replaced and the scratchplate has been cut a little to fit it :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
