What Kind of Bass Is This?

Post by chappy »

Hi everyone! Sorry if I've missed a posting that answers my question - I've looked, but was unsuccessful.

Anyone know what kind of bass this is, and also any info about what kind of pickup it might be, and if it's worth spending $80 on. Thanks! :)

It's a P-bass (Precision_ copy with a different pickup than normal. I don't know whether that's stock or whether someone put a new pickup & pickguard on it. Only way to tell is to pop off the pickguard and look.

Alternatively, that might be sort of a pseudo - '51 Precision copy. :? (with the single-pickup and all)

If it plays well, that's def. $80 well spent, in my opinion.
I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.

El Degas stable as of 03/2022: 42 :shock: (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)

That's a nice looking bass!
The Pup is odd but that can easily be changed if you don't like it. I do like the tortoise shell pick guard though!
For $80 it looks like a steal to me.
