NBD!!!

[Nacho011597]

I just adquire my first 5-string bass, it's an Oscar Schmidt OB-85. So far it's amazing; feels and sounds amazing despite needing new strings. The only problem is that I cannot find any information about it anywere. The only thing that I know is the pickups are the the ones that Washburn uses in their Taurus basses and nothing else. In the back of the headstock have a serial number and the only thing that i could decipher is that is made in 2003, i think, and thats all. If you can help me with information or tell me where i can find infomation about this bass I will be grateful with you.

If that wasn't made by the same people who made the Jackson Marleux copies I'll eat my hat.

Yeah, in my initial investigation about the bass i find that the body shape it´s from the Marleux/Jackson basses.
