Bought this on a whim.

I’m going to clean it all up and tweak it - also will be wearing some better strings.

the good...

It’s a decent looking bass, Korean made - early 2000’s.

It’s got a 35” scale - decent B.

Emg HZ pickups.

Nice Neck Profile.

Great colour.

East Preamp (U-Retro 2006) - read on...

Passive tone is pleasant.

The bad...

Full disclosure.

Preamp does not work. Worst case - the east knobs look fab. John East thinks it could be down to battery leads - I would look into it but...read on.

Lots of little bumps and nicks - nothing catastrophic.

Has an “odd” tuner on treble side - I might have a matching one in a draw - I will update.

Bridge has a little “lift” at the string anchor points...but I’ve seen this on plenty of basses. Maybe 0.5mm at worst.

I spoke to Kiogon who can make a passive loom for £60 based upon Les Paul VVTT with a series/parallel and pickup selector to fill the switch holes - just an idea if the Pre is totally dead.

Anyhow - it’s here if anyone fancies a project.

If you can resolve the preamp issue - it’s a £200+ pre.

If you’re looking for a workhorse 5, here it is.

Postage possible...would prefer collection.

I will do all the muck removal tonight or tomorrow.

I wanted to have this for e-c tuning, but I have an ongoing BB project and no spare time.

😉😘
