Encore bass

I never rated the pickup much, too wooly. The body however I deemed good enough to upgrade with a Status neck, Dimarzio and Aaron Armstrong pickups, John East preamp and hipshot tuners. It's got 13 years of mojo and is sold as a rock :) Hardly suprising though considering most of it is new!

Fair 'nuff. The bass clearly deserves more respect than I thought. At least as a basis for a "project".

I've only seen one second hand Encore bass up close. By that time I was aware that a bass (or guitar) neck might appear to curve downwards along its neck slightly. But it shouldn't make a sudden and considerable turn to the left half way up.

Edit: "Bidding has ended for this item".

I've seen some later Encores, and they were terrible compared to the mid 90's period ones. They (the mid 90s ones) were if nothing else, very solid and made from decent slabs o' wood.

No pics, needs repaired and seller has zero f/b.

That and the fifty quid start price. 99p no reserve & it would have sold. £6 postage suggests the seller [i]really[/i] hasn't thought about this.
