ricksterphil Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hey peeps Just picked this up to use as a backup/take to gigs which might end up in a punch up It's a Hurricane by Morris Precision copy....and pretty darned good it is too considering it cost me £50. Anyone heard of these? [attachment=257309:Hurricane-1.png] [attachment=257310:Hurricane-2.png] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Not heard of these but love that shade of blue with the maple board. Matching headstock too, very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 For £50 you cant go wrong really can you?! Looks nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If it plays half as well as it looks then it's a steal , congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I remember Morris being a maker of good quality acoustics (Japanese I think) which were marketed in the UK by Ivor Mairants in London. They ere quite expensive and a little over the top with inlays. Recently one appeared 2nd hand on Preloved or Gumtree with. £600 price tag. So if your bass is of the same origin you may well have the bargain of the decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Pics are pre-update so I can't see them unfortunately - any chance of re-posting them, @ricksterphil ? Morris is house-brand of Japanese manufacturer Moridaira, who are probably best known for making Prince's Hohner MadCat Telecaster copy. I think the Hurricanes were early 80s but they're not all that common so that's all I know! £50 is a total steal for any decent MIJ bass from that era, though.
