BIG.J Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) [attachment=19968:Ebay_Bass__31.jpg]Bought this bass recently from E@AY! Hasn't arrived yet! Bought as a Precision type project, It has the tall vintage styled tuning pegs and a single pickup! I have an old set of Dimazio Precision type pickups from an old Ibanez with a tortishell pickguard which i was going to use! Any help or info on this bass would be great, Nothing has popped up whilst searching the Net! Will add better pics when i recieve the bass. Pic taken from add. Cheers Justin.

Bassassin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I was idly watching this one myself... 70s Japanese or possibly Korean - never heard of the brand but you see those big chrome TRCs on loads of Jap Fender copies from the era. Unusual to see it combined with full-size tuners, small cast-button ones are more common. This also has a square chrome pickup, so you'll probably have some routing to do if you want to fit a conventional P pup. There will probably be 2 rows of poles on the pup, although these are single coil units, & usually pretty high output. I can't really tell much more about it from that pic - post some good detailed ones when you get it, & we'll see what else can be deduced. Jon.

I already have an old 70's P Body lying around which uses a similar setup including the chrome pickup! Will have to see what it sounds like but should be easy enough to convert the pickup route etc! I went for this bass having seen the tall tuning pegs, As you quoted they usually have dumpy little ones! Will let you know what happens and post pics!
