Any idea what this is?

I'm thinking some 60s japan oddity... teisco maybe?

 

[J. Crawford]

Definitely looking like that Garmenteros said, weirdo Japanese vintage styling. Teisco, possibly.

How is that a tele type bass?

 

[johnk_10]

it's a mid 60's MIJ tiesco, or one of the other 'brands' that came out of the same factory back then.

He (or she) is referring to the headstock shape.

Are they worth while basses or junk? What would be a decent price?

That thing looks really beat to hell, even for a 60's "Japanese Ubiquitous P/J type Bass." I doubt it's worth much.

What's it worth? Tops.......$50. Ha! I catch the local CraigsList too here in KC area. The Fender MB5 I picked up off CraigsList acouple weeks ago is now my #1 bass! Later, BB
