Anyone know what this is?

It might be made in Japan.
Anybody seen one or know what it might be worth?

Says Crestwood on the headstock.

You have to be a supporting member to ask "what its worth" questions. They seem to be pretty good basses for the money,probably came out of the same factory hundreds of other basses from japan from that era did.

Not the point... anyone can search, seek and find...

I did Google it but all I get is the Epiphone Crestwood guitar or newer Crestwood P-Bass copies.
I am thinking of picking this up for my little collection but I don't want to buy it if it's junk.

Yea, I did a little searching myself out of curiosity and found the craigslist ad for it. Best bet is just to go play it and look at it and find out,if it feels and sounds good get it.

Thanks. Was hoping I could get a little info on it first.
I guess there's lots of this kind of Japanese instrument out there.

Crestwood were an importers brand, and they were sourcing from a number of different factories much like any number of other importers. It's anybody's guess who actually made that bass, but it's likely there are other basses out there that are identical bar a different brand on the headstock.

Pictures of the neckplate might help if you can get hold of them.

That, my friend, is a bass guitar.

Made in Jack Westheimer's factory that produced Cort and Cortez in the later '60s and early ''70s
