i had a St George bass for a few weeks!

Pretty old.

Yup, St. George... one of the many brand names slapped on the wave of affordable instruments flowing out of Japan during the 60’s...
Neat looking little bass. Kind of hit or miss... some can be decent players, some just feel like someone glued together a few pieces of plywood and strapped on some strings.

I voted “OK” in the poll, but feel the selection was kind of lacking...

I voted OK as well, but I think that poll would do better on some kind of Matthew McConaughey forum.

That bass comes from the good ole days when Japanese basses were junk.

 

[Bill Whitehurst]

Somewhere in the 60s.
I assume you found it in a dumpster?

 

[mongo2]

Some duct tape will fix that right up.

My first guitar was a Teisco Spectrum II bought new in the summer of 1972. The body was similar, same grade electronics (cheap), but fancier guard and bridge. The neck inlays were nearly identical to those in the pics, except the twelfth fret. Never saw that style on any other instruments, so I believe you have an offshoot of the Teisco line from the early 70's or so. Maybe earlier, like the '60's. I'd like to give you more info, but I'm having a really hard time trying to decide how to vote in your poll. Damn, "OK" or "Ok", which is the closest?

I just threw up in my mouth.

 

[Stevorebob]

Old? Not old enough. Or maybe too old.

To me, it's got that mid-late 60s vibe... 67-ish?

 

[GretschWretch]

The bridges on those are pretty good; I've seen that bridge on other basses. I'd say 1966 (or maybe 1964) to 1971.

 

[dan1952]

Junk in 1966. Still junk now. Also known in the industry as a POS model.

 

[SpyderX]

I'll be that guy - young 'uns, you don't realize how good you have it today...

 

[Trouztrouz]

Old for sure, and definitely OK much.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

might make for good firewood

 

[DirtDog]

52.7 years old

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

Ive got a Thunderbird neck, Rickenbacker neck pickup and Fender bridge just waiting for a bass like that. Build it and rock it!.

 

[FrenchBassQC]

I didn't vote because I didn't know which Ok to choose.
