Silky999

So worth £140?..........

Thanks for all the opinions folks. I think until I can actually get hands on it, it will be difficult to sort out what’s what. Like I said, I’m just going on gut feeling and I’m hoping it will be more than the sum of all it’s parts. I kinda like the idea that someone has resurrected something from the bits of others. Maybe it will give me some “green” cred if nothing else. The seller said he’d had quite a bit of interest in it so worst case I can always try and sell to get my money back lol. You never know, it could be a diamond in the rough with a killer sound, but then again........

Yep there’s holes in it. Some of them have been used for a bridge cover and pick up cover but some of the others around the pick guard look like they haven’t?? Any fender/copy bodies come with pre drilled holes? It’s like they were an option for a bigger/different shape pick guard? I agree that the bridge and tuners are not original and the missing logo is weird. The sticker which was on the bass when the previous owner got it from a pawn shop says ”FENDERJACK CSD BLK PA 952100 0202” with a price of £499. Could this refer to just the neck and hence incomplete logo? I have hunted all combinations of this but nothing comes up in the internet. CSD could stand for custom shop designed, it could be a paint code for cherry sunburst which is what I think the finish is. No serial number obvious either, any suggestions about where to look?

Lozz, I’ve yet to play it so it is a leap of faith based on looks and gut feeling. I wanted something Fender like and this just seemed to sing to me lol

I’m in the process of buying this bass and wanted opinions on what it is. I’m sure it is a copy or some sort of Frankenstein bass made of the bits of others. I like the look of it and I’m not concerned that it’s some Fender rarity. I’ve paid £140 so please feel free to rip me a new one if you think I’ve been had over lol. i would really appreciate your opinions on it and any info.
