merlin Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) [attachment=173164:PA060101.JPG] Hi did a trade and got this bass and have been playing her live and loving it, sounds real good just like a fretless should, but cant work out the name on it,its faded away,looks like Heinz Sehert,also has German style wrighting on the back of the headstock,again faded,she has Dimarzio p and j pups and been fitted with a badass bridge,not sure of the woods used but there is srinkage so thinking she may be oldish.All the srews are old style pre phillips [attachment=173154:heinz sehert bass.jpg] the only thing I would like to change are the volume and tone pots,they are totaly worn out,any suggestions please [attachment=173162:PA060106.JPG][attachment=173160:PA060100.JPG][attachment=173156:PA060099.JPG][attachment=173154:heinz sehert bass.jpg] [attachment=173178:PA060109.JPG] Edited October 6, 2014 by merlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Looks good, no idea of the make sorry - but I could certainly make a wiring kit for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The shape's not dissimilar to a Warwick Streamer, Warwick being another German manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My gut instict is telling me that the neck and body have been united later? The body shape and the P J pickups are screaming 80s or 90s at me but the neck and headstock appear much older, could the body be a home brew added to that neck? I must say though, I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yes I keep looking at this the workmanship on the head and neck fantastic does not match the body,thanks for your help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I once saw something similar that had been reshaped from a generic P bass copy body into something similar, the body edges made me think that to be possible here too?
