I dont know whether it is of value as I have never heard of Baliol before..?
The neck also needs re-fitting, as it looks as though it has come out of the pocket at some point, and some 'idiot' has glued it back on with super glue which is oozing out of the pocket a bit. The action as a result isn't perfect, but isn't bad...
What do you think. Ever heard of Baliol? Would it be worth me offering school a hundred pounds or so for it, and getting it refinished and setup.
I will post a few detailed pictures if need be, when I get time tomorrow.
Cheers,

I would have to see this Bass to believe it, sorry.
100 Pounds is the price of a set of strings. Real English Basses can cost as much or more than a Car! Does the UK extend to China yet territory-wise? Maybe it was made in the English speaking region of Beijing!
All kidding aside, post some pictures, lots and lost of good pictures and we can tell you all you need to know about the origin, repair cost and value b4 and after repair IF it's worth even fixing.
