Members Les_Izzmor Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 I used it a few times and had one of the pickups repaired (the lower pickup works but the upper pickup does not)....Frets are dull....Case lining has come unglued in a few areas. One back hinge has come off... I wouldn't exactly say "low mileage". But. For that price I'd buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PaulyWally Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hmmmmm... looks like a shorty. I'll bid on that puppy if it doesn't get too high. I'm going to be interested to see how far it goes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J. Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 Interesting. There were a lot of odd brand names coming out of Japan at that time, even though most of the instruments were being made by just a few select companies (like Ibanez). I remember coming across the guitar version of that same bass (same sharp cutaways, finish, binding, pickups, headstock shape, etc) under the name "Conrad."

Members bnyswonger Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 I wonder if it's had regular oil changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm in on it too, mainly to fill my GAS for a budget semi hollow, I have no huge attachment to it beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members t3ch Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 I was thinking about bidding on it too. HCBFers are going to drive the price up competing with each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members REMUS Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'm going to msg him to see if he will ship to the UK, i'm a Toyota Hilux aka Tacoma owner and fan, would be really nice to own it but i'm not going to pay much more than $150ish for it... I'll see what Kindness says as well, since I would really prefer him to work on it for me if I win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 HCBFers are going to drive the price up competing with each other I wonder how many of us already put a bid on it, even if as a token placeholder to keep an eye on it?

I'm interested in it from a curiosity standpoint, but I don't have the time to work on it unless it is mine. It just may be... :poke: No I am not serious, you guys can have at it.

Members Renfield Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 So who all is seriously interested in this? Not I. I don't need the headache of a dead pickup at this point, it would quickly just become another unfinished project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
