|  | Supporting Member | | Join Date: Jul 2011 Location: Nanaimo, BC, Canada | | | late-70's to early 80's Matsumoku Vantage Bass. That one looks to be the neckthru version. I sold a bolt-on one just 2 weeks ago. 33" scale (or was it 30"?) with P pickups and an ugly Gibson style bridge that actually worked quite well. I was impressed with it.
Someone's changed the pickup & knobs, though. They came in cream.

Decent bass actually. Quote:

I felt a great disturbance in Las Vegas…as if thousands of Elvis impersonators cried out and then suddenly left the building. |

| | | | The basses in the two pics are very different |
12-11-2012, 02:22 PM
|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2010 Location: West of Stumptown, USA | | The top bass is probably a Vantage (definitely NOT a Curlee) and hard to tell if it's neck thru, as they made a good faux neck thru.
The second bass is the nicer of the two judging by pics only. Lots of info here: http://www.matsumoku.org/models/models.html
You think you bought it? |

Mighty fine bass. Have one myself, first bass I ever got.
Love it to this day. Super soft fast neck, and crazy low bassy growl. Couldn't ask for anything better for the price I got it (FREE). | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
