S.D. Curlee project how much $
« on: April 05, 2009, 08:56:31 AM »
 I have always wanted one of these and I have a shot a  project SD, how high should I go for this ? Any ideas ? I have never seen this shape before.It has been painted yellow, no big deal just strip and refine needs pickups and controls.

Are you sure that's a real SD Curlee body? looks like a Curlee neck on a homemade body to me.

Dave, that's what I thought, the seller says it is original but I doubt it. Still kinda cool if I can get it cheap. I like the LP Jr looking double cutaway body better.

There were some Japanese-made Curlees toward the end of the company's existence. Could this be one of those then?

The seller wants 150 shipped in a HSC sounds pretty good to me.

Cool! I always like twin P pick ups, like on some active 80s Precisions and on the Buzzard and Stryker.

Find some pictures in my personal archive.




I think it's but ugly but because of that I like it. I have an simple standart one bass from SD Curlee.



I think the bass in de topic starters post is an USA made bass the japanese bassen (made by hondo) have an other heastock decal most of the times.

Your standard is the one I want ! ( any chance you'd like to sell ?) I just might go for this Intl. one, 150 shipped sounds good I think.

You could always use the neck and make a new body. Weren't those half neck thru anyway?

Scott, if you buy it, you'll just have to repaint it in a Sumo theme.  :)
