[quote name='Johnston' post='1167963' date='Mar 19 2011, 09:11 AM']I got a pricelist from a Chinese factory recently on a few of their things. It is scary how low they can build stuff for .
On the face of it the specs look half decent duncan designed pups etc etc. The what I would class as a budget starter, standard P pups genericish shape (think korean made basses mid nineties like washburn) High Mass bridge rather than the BBOT.
Before Duties, on that day with the exchange rate to dollars £30 a unit [/quote]
2 years ago before I retired you could buy strat copies for $15 each! Trouble is you bought 10 grands worth minimum unseen. Too much of a gamble.
I'm feeling a bit like the bad guy here. I bought this from here for £1195:

As you can see it is original apart from the pots which were changed at some point. I trust Mark's judgement on this and on any other bass that I've bought from him. When I sent this to Bob it was working perfectly. I can only assume that any problems occured in transit.
I have apologised for any misunderstanding with this, when I first read the advert it sounded as though I deliberately sold a bass that wasn't working properly. I would never do that. I have lost over £200 on this bass.

Just bought an amazing G&L custom tribute from Denver.
Great communication and a very fast delivery, totally as described and I'm delighted with it.
Trade with confidence folks Denver is a true gent and great to deal with.
Thanks mate.
How do you know they were off a Squier? I don't know how you tell , sorry. I have the same dilemma. I suggest buying off here because no-one wants their reputation sullied by mis-selling.
The G&L will really bite you, they are amazing basses. The sunburst you speak of is my favourite, I've just bought one off here, I already have a natural/maple, a blueburst/maple.
I'm now selling all of my other basses.
I wonder if some previous owner thought that the neck plate was a pickup and tried to fit a cover?
(Arl get me coat)
what a fantastic bass Jesso, someone's going to be very happy!
