Considering it needed work on the frets and ideally a bridge cover, that seems a bit steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That story is just too confusing. Has a cheap bass neck been grafted onto a guitar body that was once played very poorly in one song by Brock and he wants a grand for it? The bit where the neck pocket snapped off (???) is a total bodge - new wood should of been added not sanded away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there are any Ian Kilmister basses from the Hawkwind era knocking about. Now they'd be worth a few bob.

Bassassin Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Possibly - I'm just assuming it's a de-fret because of the lines, never seen a lined fretless Matsumoku as far as I can remember. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigman Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I was bought a Kay P-bass for £30 new by my Dad when I first took up the bass. It was the worst lump of wood to be palmed off as a 'musical' instrument ever to grace this planet. I've still got it somewhere in the loft. It was almost impossible to play, the neck was fat the action about a mile high, the frets were in the wrong places! It's a wonder I ever continued to play......I couldn't wait to get a proper bass!!
