    Bass ID and dating assistance Teisco? Kawai?

    I am looking at a bass listed as a Teisco - Kawai, but I can't find one similar to it. It has the most Fender looking headstock of any Teisco that I've ever seen, which makes me think it may not be a Teisco or Kawai at all, but maybe from some other 60's cheap guitar manufacturer. Anybody...

    This is a reissue Teisco Spectrum body with a neck pocket heel width of 2.25", and I want to match it up with an All Parts neck that has standard Fender 2.5" neck heel.

    Wanted 60s teisco bass, specific type

    below are some images of the specific make i’m talking about. prominent sunburst, dots and binding, the gold foil pickup, long scale. if anyone has one i’d willing to pay a lot more than you’re probably expecting for it. as long as the neck is decent and it isn’t in disrepair.

    Howdy fellow bassists, I just got home from striking a deal for a new bass, and one that I've heard of before but have never been able to find or play in person. If I have done my research correctly, this should be a Teisco bass from Japan from the 60's, not sure of the model name. It's...

    Identify This Bass, Please

    I think Johnny Paycheck is the guy singing harmony with George Jones and playing bass in 1965. But what on earth kind of bass guitar is this? It looks like a Fender Bass VI with only four strings, but that can’t be.

    I recently bought this 1960’s MIJ maple Lark (likely made by Fujigen, Kawai/Teisco or Matsumoku) Fender Jazz “lawsuit” clone with single rail/blade pickups and black block inlays. The neck is straight and very comfortable to play. It was pretty dirty and neglected so I took it completely...

    My drummer and I had gotten into a discussion recently about the old solid state amps me by Teisco, Harmony, Kay, etc back in the 60's/70's and how they still sound pretty different from most modern amps and how "vintage tone" doesn't belong solely to tube amps. This got thinking about, and then...

    I picked this up today for $50, Only identifying marking is Made in Japan on the neckplate. Works fine, truss rod works etc. Only issue is a hum. Probably a grounding issue. Scale is 30.5" . I'm thinking there was a label or name plate on the headstock that came off. Any idea of maker? year?
