Can anyone identify this bass? Bass collection? SX? other?

Hi all, 

 

I've picked this up as a doer upper. Needs a thorough (to say the least) clean, a new pot/stalk, and all the stickers removing. And a strap button. And a set up. 

 

Does anyone know what it is? 

 

I was thinking a bass collection, or perhaps an sx? 

 

But the D tuning peg is higher than A on the other side? 

 

Its a shallow but wide ish neck. 

 

Confused. 

 

Feels so so light, seriously the lightest I've ever had, and sounds very nice.

Different logo to most of them, assume it's an older one? Another one like yours here with better pics:

My old guitarist had one of these and it weighed a ton for the size of the thing, actually made it quite unwieldy so count yourself lucky you got a light one!

 

Yeh, that looks like it! 

 

A few differences, but could be an older model. 

 

It is ridiculously light though, like lighter than a guitar light.

It'll be interesting to see how that cleans up.

 

Use a hairdryer to get all those stickers off - softens the glue so they should peel off without leaving too much mess or residue.

And white spirit, meths, or isopropyl alcohol (whichever you prefer the taste of) to get any gummy residue off.

 

NB: for external application only. Contents may settle during transit. May contain nuts.
