Ryan got hold of me via Facebook and I decided to sell this bass to him. It was just a spare for me kept in a gig bag so I figured it'd be better off being with someone who would appreciate it.

Kawai Sleekline:

I have a Squier Jaguar. It's known as 'the squier'. I also have a Kawai Sleekline which is called 'the old one', and a Squier Jazz bass which has a quirky pickguard made from the laminated carboard packaging from a masterpiece Starscream model. That one's called Starscream.

Here's a few pics of my kawai sleekline that I got off ebay as a project. Bit of a beast this one, especially now that it's got an SD 1/4 pounder at the bridge.

Unluck! It's been fixed up, and is the best bass I own and have owned. Ridiculously good for the money spent - here's some pics... Those pics are a couple months old now though, the bridge pickup is currently a seymour duncan quarter pounder. Brilliant. It's a bit of a beast

Aha cheers! I had found that site last night though while searching, and it doesn't have that particular model. Shame. I did use the contact link though, but the guys at kawai don't know either. Friendly though! Incidentally I posted that exact same link not half an hour ago on a thread where...

Hey there, I've been looking into kawai's recently, as I just bought one off ebay. I couldn't find much info on the one I have, but this link has some basses with a headstock which sounds like they'd match the one you had. Hope it helps! http://www.kawaius-tsd.com/pages/kawai_bass.html (You...

It was £109. Bit of a bargain hopefully if I can get it up together, which I know I can! The bits that look to be missing are actually with it but not fitted, just one tuner needs a new gear apparently. I don't actually have the bass yet, those are just some of the ebay shots from the seller...

So last night I put in a random bid for this old kawai sleekline - turns out I was the only one who did, cus I won it! Guess it didn't catch anyone elses eye huh. But anyway, the reason I'm posting this thread is to ask whether anyone has any info about this bass, and the kawai brand in...

Here's my frankenbass on the left: The body is some real heavy wood which I think came off a 70s copy of a p bass, the neck is a bargain 33 quid job off ebay, which I have no idea where it's from - no truss rod, no skunk stripe, but looks ace! Oh and the pickup used to be in my MIM...

Ok, so I managed to get a precision style neck off ebay for one of my project basses. It's the one on the left in the following picture - maple fretboard, black block inlays: What I'd like to know is what the hell it came off of?! It's definitely not a fender geddy lee, no markings or...

I stand corrected! Learn something new and all that, cheers!

I have one, made in mexico p. pretty sure it's called lake placid blue yup ]
