Members bassesofalessergod Posted July 19, 2007 Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 not sure what it might be but it is cool looking for sure! is that 34" scale? i'd say you are looking at getting less than $175. How much less I couldn't say.` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marcin1988 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 it is a 30.25" scale. i like the bass actually, but i cnat get the damn wiring right, i just think the pickups might be busted. maybe someone coudl summon up a wiring chart for this bass eventualy for me i woudl wire it right and see how it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Incubitabus Posted July 19, 2007 Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 hmm... I dont know if you'll find ANYONE with a wiring chart for that. Those two switches just make it weird... Maybe a t-40 chart, just for comparison. Its funny that it seems to be a Ric/Fender/Gibson Hybrid bass. I'd like to hear how it sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassred Posted July 19, 2007 Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 Looks like a Japanese instrument from the '60s or '70s. I have a Kingston bass that has a finger rest (instead of a thumb rest) and switches for the pickups, it also has a nifty plastic 'guard for the controls that is chipped n a similar way.... Really, it may be impossible to ID it, try Kingston, Tiesco, Del Ray, etc..... sorry I cant be more help.... Here's mine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hi.flyer Posted July 19, 2007 Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 If the pickups are the same size and shape as guitar humbuckers, AND if they work, I'd be interested in buying them (if you'd be interested in selling them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnny6644 Posted July 19, 2007 Members Share Posted July 19, 2007 That is serious retro-cool. I used to have a Guya-tone guitar that had about 50 buttons and switches on it; I wish I still had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
