Old, odd bass guitar

---

i have no idea what kind of bass it is. all i know is that its pretty sweet looking. i looove old guitars.

I got a couple buddies thta work in a guitar shop, repair.Now that i HAVE to know, Ill print these out and take them to them this weekend, see if they can turn anything up.

To answer you Steve, the neck is the same finish and material as the body.

I'm going to visit a couple music stores around me too...but they all have hours like 9-5. How does one make money with those hours anymore? Regardless, we'll see what we can't all find

My buddy works there on saturdays, and te other one works there fulltime but Im not driving an huor away to find out what they know if anything. If the bastards would get out fo the dark ages Id email them the pics and the questions.I have to be about 20 minutes from there saturday evening anyways, Ill swing by then and see what they know if anything.9 to 5 is shit, most peopel work those hours so its impossible to get to some other business that is onyl open the hours you work or is far enough away that you cant get there before they close.Around here I dont think ther is anythign that isnt open till atleast 6, and most places here are open till 9 or 10.

Thanks...as for the hours; apparently only music stores are cocky/stupid enough to close that early around here. Everyone else appears to like making money and having customers.

Okay, so I went to two music stores today. No one there (young or old, repair tech, bass players etc) could tell me what it was; only ONE guy had actually ever seen a pickup like that before either.Regardless, I bought the pots and output; I just need to grab some wire and I'll solder this SOB up and give her life again!

Took them the pics this last saturday, they were busy and told me they would get to it when they had time.I just got off the phone with one of them.Noone including the owner of the store has any fucking clue. He told me it was definatly made in japan, I asked how he knew thinking that they found a model or maker that produced the smae style and that ti wold lead to tracking shit down, his responce was that "well you fucking told me that"Sorry, no help fropmme, I did what I could as I know just about jack shit about the subject myself.

No worries; thanks for trying though.Regardless, I replaced the pots, output, wires, and strings. She sounds good for being 40 years old. Maybe now I'll learn how to play it, lol.
