i have a Teisco Del Ray Bass and have not been able to identify the model number or year produced. i have been searching for this info for a couple years now with no luck. if somebody could help me, i would greatly appreciate it. this bass has the tulip body, black pickguard with silver vine like details, sunburst finish, single pickup. could not find any numbers on it at all. the closest i have been able to find is a et-200 tulip. but thats a six string guitar. somebody help me end this search.

Wow, that's a blast from my early teens. There used to be a revolving rack at the local drug store - Thrifty, I think - that was full of Teisco Del Ray basses and guitars just like this one. Most of em went beyond unplayable and right into "Dangerous: Handle at your own risk!" territory. The barbs (frets) on one of these things gave me a pretty good hand laceration.

According to the typology outlined by Michael Wright Invalid Link Removed, it might officially be an EB-110. But since the Teisco range was so inconsistent these seem to be mostly referred to as "Tulip" basses by default.

the one i have is in almost new condition. except for a couple minor scratches it looks like it was just made. all original too. the frets are perfect too. as soon as i get my camera back from being repaired i will send in a picture
