Happy Jack Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Alternatively, it's a complete pile of poo. Your call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operative451 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 dangit, that would have been ideal for the Ex-V.. Oh well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Have a look at the last picture folks and never ever grumble again about basses in shops with the action too high. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxlin Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Looks like the body's sunk just below the pickup, judging by the shadow cast by the string. Apart from that, wouldn’t mind having a go, but that’s outside my skill limits. Edited September 4, 2018 by Baxlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be running WAY off the side of the neck... Look at the 2nd to last picture. You shouldn't be able to see the string from the back!

Bassassin Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Bear in mind it lacks a nut or a functioning bridge. A £15 car boot project, but will be massively compromised by also being a wretchedly abused 45-year old cheapo with an unreinforced hollow body that's too flimsy for the one string it has. Will be amusing to see what it sells for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Should'nt the string be over the bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yes - should be a separate single saddle sitting on top of the base plate, with the string(s) passing over that . Can't quite work out what's going on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 It's crept up to £62 - exceeded what I thought it would sell for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 And finished at £77. Someone likes a challenge. And chucking money away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
