Macker5 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 What do you expect for £25 or nearest offer! Would probably be worth less if it was clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Interesting bound neck & headstock. Wonder what it is? I'd punt £25 on it on the very vague offchance that the pickups are DiMarzio Model Js. Most of the very cheap basses I've had have been absolutely filthy - give this a quick clean and setup and you could probably flip it for a £50 profit. Jon.

Annoying Twit Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Isn't it a Rockwood by Hohner? If so, I'm not sure it's worth £75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The more I look at it, the more I think the neck & body aren't related. Black hardware on the neck but not the body is a bit odd, as is the black headstock. Wonder if it's a Peavey Fury neck or something? Someone needs to drop £25 on it so these important questions can be resolved! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Is the headstock bound or has someone gone to town with acrylic paints? I wouldn't be surprised at the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 It does look Peavey-ish, but probably not that recent? If I was anywhere near Leicester I'd go and have a look... anyone anywhere near it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the edges of the elephant ears and the centre lobe of the G string tuner (elephant's skull-cap?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
