DirkThrust Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Can anyone identify this bass. No particular reason just that it sounded incredibly good and I was curious what it is. Sorry about the poor quality pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 looks abit like a 6 string Warwick to me.... but that is a pretty poor pic..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 could be a streamer 6er... Then again could be a number of things. The paint job is making me think not a warwick for some reason. Bit too much of a gloss. Then again they come in all colours really... We need more experts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clauster Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Don't think it is a Warwick, the bridge looks wrong. With the sunburst it's really difficult to see the actual body shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yamaha TRB I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Haha didn't realise it would be so problematic. The flash on the camera went off ok but for some reason didn't illuminate the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 was thinking Yamaha! Looked a bit Myung-ish. The bridge did look out but there was an unfortunate shadow where the gap in the two part bridge would be so I wasn't sure. Can anyone photoshop the hell outta this? Tweak the brightness a tad? Won't reveal much but its sometimes useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkThrust Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) Here's another (equally poor) one, but the shape of the top horn is a bit clearer. An additional bit of info which may help is that this pic was taken in the Philippines and bearing in mind the enormous cost of European products out there and the fact that the place is awash with everything Japanese, it tends to indicate Yamaha rather then Warwick. I can't even make out if it's a five or a six though. Edited January 6, 2009 by AndyMartin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I think its a Roscoe SKB 3006 Edited January 6, 2009 by Rodders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh3184 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Definite 6 I'd say and I'm going to say C- Yamaha, final answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I've tweaked the image - anyone know what it is now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I wouldve gone with yamaha TRB , but it seems to have only four knobs, not five, the top horn looks diffrent too, could be out really, as you say it,ll be mostly japenese stuff. I've tweaked the image - anyone know what it is now? [/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I've seen some funny old headstock designs in my time but one in the form of a full size woman takes the biscuit. I'd wager the bass suffers a bit of neck dive. P PS. I suspect it's a Roscoe Edited January 6, 2009 by philw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got that distinctive 12th fret marker edit: just noticed the tweaked pic - maybe not a trb afterall. The old trb's did have 4 knobs though!

ped Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I thought that R shape might have been a reflection from the 'slap cut' on the body of a TRB. The top looks contoured a bit like an Aria though so not sure now. Perhaps it is a custom build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 The R looks like a straight lift of a Honda Fireblade decal from the 900RR... How sad is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
