Redencorebass Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi i have turned to your forum in the hope someone can help identify my encore bass i bought it about 15 years ago, i think it's as it came from the factory, I cannot find another like it, any information will be good thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redencorebass Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hi yes I have read the article but the guitar is not the same at all. My guitar has 3 pickups. The jack socket is at the bottom of the body,and no scratch plate, also all of the guitar is completely red except the fret board. Cannot find any id numbers,my next thought is to remove the neck to see if any underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redencorebass Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Yes 3 pickups i thought that was different too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redencorebass Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 Ps you have me doubting had to check again, also noticed truss rod adjustment is at the bottom end of the neck not at the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groove Harder Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Two pickups. The neck one is a 'split P' Sorry to be pedantic 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There was a boy in Manchester had one of these on ebay. Main difference was white pickup covers and unpainted neck. I'm afraid he had no idea regarding model either. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/encore-bass-guitar-90s-heavy-well-270588836 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 This is the closest thing I can find, shows what looks like a single-pickup version of the same bass: Apologies for the tiny image, it's the preview from this pay-to-access site, cunningly upscaled: http://www.vintaxe.com/catalogs_main/catalogs_japanese_encore.php Early 90s, then, and if the info's correct, made in India. That's plausible as 90s Encore P bass clones appear to be a rebrand of the Indian-made Sunn Mustang basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I had that model for my first bass in the early 90s, never seen another. I believe its a PB3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
