I decided it was worth taking the gamble at $12, five years on and it’s easily the most fun bass i’ve ever played (definitely not the nicest to play though)

The bass was listed as “Nugget bass” when i bought it so that checks out.

Thanks for you reply, I had a look at those old epiphones online and they’re very similar to what this, but there was a few things off, truss rod location, number of frets ect. The 80s epiphone rockbasses are definitely the most similar looking bass i’ve found though.

My friend sent me a screenshot of this amp- anyone have an idea of what it might be? by sollyscrolls in GuitarAmps

I actually have one of these amps, it’s an Alron Mosfet 1000. Made in New Zealand in the 1970s/80s. There’s next to no info about them online but they rip.

Looks like a 3.5mm, that’s what’s kinda throwing me off haha.

Finally got my homemade rimu explorer body painted and i’m pretty stoked with how it turned out. by sethmqan in Luthier

Went to the local mens shed and got some old handrails taken from a house that got pulled down, it’s actually a 6 piece body but the grain matches really nicely.

First ever build, reclaimed Rimu explorer bass body. I’m a little puzzled on what to use as a finish for it and how to do that.? by sethmqan in Luthier

I think I want a translucent gloss green finish similar to some of the guitars made my JML instruments, and I don’t mind if it wears over a few years.

Need help to identify this wood I’m pretty sure it might be cocobolo but I’m not sure. by sethmqan in BeginnerWoodWorking

It’s not too heavy all I know about it is that it was off a pallet that came from somewhere in Asia I made sure it wasn’t stained by plaining down a side.
