ped Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Tricky isn’t it. Reckon it’s something fairly budget given the rig and so on but that’s not meant disrespectfully at all. Wondered about ESP? Not a Sire. Vintage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Some sort of Tobias....??? (I'm like John Snow, I know nothing, but the shape of the horns looked familiar...???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Don’t think it’s an MTD but the knob layout is similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I think the secret to finding this bass is going to be recognising the position of the knob which is located behind the bridge. That's really quite rare to as there's not normally that much wood behind the bridge. My mind did shift to Warrior as I knew that they did that 3 in a line with 2 underneath the bridge and bridge pickup... but no, no cigar. Again, with Tobias and MTD, that rear knob is in the wrong place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 That headstock looks quite Marleaux... two ticks. Off to google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Fret markers along top edge. Pickups appear to have writing on bottom right of case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lw. Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Looked very Tobias/MTD in the first pic but I think the headstock in the second pic goes against that. Headstock looks a bit Washburn-y? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I'm pretty sure it's an In Yen Vina from Vietnam. Along with building for ESP they did the Peavey Grind NTB and Harley Benton BZ. Current models have blank boards like this but blocks, centred dots and offset have all appeared on previous issues. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJPJ Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Definitely ^ this one -looks really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 He says the logo looked like this. Fairly adamant it’s not the logo of the bass above but perhaps it’s sold as a sub brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBH Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Harley Benton? There's a 5 string on eBay that is very similar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Harley-Benton-5-string-active-thru-neck-bass/195573865808?var=0&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338749374&toolid=20006&customid=GB_619_195573865808.141227150325~2062689181872-g_EAIaIQobChMIh7e3oYSf_QIVCG8YCh1xFwH1EAQYAyABEgIZGPD_BwE&pageci=104abae2-fed5-4bbc-bb77-14ea35837632&redirect=mobile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
