Here's the beginning of what I intend to be a series on vintage 1960-70s Japanese bass guitars. In this first episode, we will look at a 1966 Teisco made Kimberly single pickup, short scale 24.75" bass, and also a 1963 Hoshino (Ibanez) made La Playa Model 1902 2-pickup bass. Also shown is a 1968 Teisco EB-110 Del Rey Tulip Bass, which is awaiting a rebuild and will be featured in a future episode.
