I never knew these existed in white. Interesting seller too.

Loving that, no spare cash though. and all that tape on the case will add 20 quid to postage. :)
Certainly got some mojo though...

Franconia Jazz copy - not sure whether these are Japanese or Korean, but looks tidy.

A Jedson. "Don't think it was the best guitar in the world when it was new". I wouldn't disagree there.

Except for the pups, this looks like my old Eros copy, even the hard case is the same.
A bit heavy but it had a lovely neck, the original pups werent bad, but they went microphomic in the end.

The description is genius!

[quote]
Considered desirable and very playable. Tonal range from warm jazzy to more treble. Is of shorter scale, which is not to be confused with a beginner bass...for example it is the the same scale length as the Bass Paul McCartney commonly used in The Beatles. [/quote]

Dear Seller,
For the pedants, of which I be one, it's a RoadSTER :rolleyes:

From what I've read and gleaned, the RoadSTARS where inferior to these. Never played a STAR but my passive STER gets gigged regularly.[attachment=95454:IMG_1289.jpg]

Washburn Vulture bass on eBay, through neck, original hard case. This is probably 79/81-ish and top quality bit of kit. Matsumoku or Yamaki. Too heavy for me but deserves a good home.

Not sure what this is, but it looks very Japanese. The 6-bolt neck is interesting.

Matsumoku produced a build like this, with six-bolt neck joint and Maxon pickup. Most had a sticker decal with the name of the own-brander applied to the headstock. But the design is common to a number of factories.
