Greco GOB-700 Bass 1978 - Defekt - Description

The Greco GOB-700 Bass from 1978 is a classic Japanese-made instrument that offers a solid foundation for players who enjoy vintage basses and customising their sound.

This bass is suited for experienced musicians and enthusiasts who appreciate the tonal character of a Maxon bass humbucker pickup and want to undertake repairs or modifications to make the instrument their own. It is especially fitting for those who seek a project instrument to restore or adapt to personal preferences.

Key benefits include:

Original Maxon bass humbucker pickup in the neck position delivers the warm, rich tones that vintage bass players value.
Neck dimensions (21.4 mm at the 1st fret, 24.3 mm at the 12th fret) and nut width (42.9 mm) provide a comfortable grip for versatile playing styles, from fingerstyle to pick.
Weighing 4.4 kg, the bass offers a substantial feel that can support sustained, solid playing in practice or studio sessions.
The instrument’s body shows signs of use and has additional screw holes, indicating it has lived a varied life and ready for personalisation.

The GOB-700 Bass 1978 fits into a day filled with creative work in a musician’s studio or rehearsal space. You might spend time diagnosing the missing bridge pickup and snapped bridge height adjustment screws, deciding on replacements or custom parts. Adjusting the pots to minimise crackling and repairing the output jack can transform this bass into a unique, personalised instrument with vintage character.

Q: Can I play this bass live without repairs? A: The bridge pickup is missing and the output jack cuts out, so it will need repairs before reliable live use.

Q: How is the playability given the fret wear? A: Frets show visible wear but remain comfortable to play, so finger movement should feel natural once set up properly.

Q: Is this bass suitable for beginners? A: This bass is better suited for players with repair skills or access to a technician, not ideal for beginners seeking ready-to-play instruments.

In summary, the Greco GOB-700 Bass 1978 is a solid vintage instrument offered as faulty, with missing parts and wear reflecting its history. It invites someone with the skill and interest to restore and customise it, making it a more sustainable choice by extending the life of a classic bass. Sold as is, it comes with a warranty and return policy that covers the condition described.
