Don't you start. You're responsible for enough of my GAS as it is.

Thanks for all the responses. Yea it's definitely a rad lookin bass. I talked to them about buyin it and asked for my phone number to give to the boss. I'm sure that it won't make it to him so I'm gonna head back up in a week or so and try again. I mean c'mon that blue is dope

That blue is dope.

They probably won't sell, but good luck.

You might just have to buy a lot of pizza.

I already said it's not jeez ...

I know you said it's not, but I was still thinking it might be.

I'm still wondering what it is, but I'm still thinking Matsumoku.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure now, I just found this Tempo branded one:

I have one like this. It had no badge when I bought it. I did a lot of searching to find out what it was. I found some very similar ones with various brand names. Some Teiscos I found used the same pickguard, bridge cover, and pickup, so I wouldn't rule them out.

I also have a Kent branded guitar that is very similar, which I discerned was manufactured in the Guyatone factory.

kaeth to the rescue.

Sweet bass.

Love that pickguard and the finger rest.

Yeah, on a lot of 'em, the cheap badge falls off. It's like they're sayin' "badges? we don't need no stinkin' badges...

That one is more like it! Down to everything but the thumb rest, which I bet changed depending on the time the guitar was made. Nice find.

Love the deep, arcane knowledge on this board. You dudes rule.

No, Kosta, you rule.

Great, now I can't stop thinking about basses like this.

Yeah those are neat.

The guitar version is all that bad either…

Yeah, Spencer's a fan. He loves the sound of the bridge pickup on his main guitar. Those Japanese guitars from that time have a sound of their own.

Yeah, I don't know what it is, but I want it.

dude, bring a cheap lp knockoff or some funky looking thing and offer to trade plus some dough. It's only wall art to them. hell, smash a guitar and mount it in a frame with some led lighting and I bet they give you some cash and the guitar.
