Still waiting on Al Krow to buy one, I’m sending him some sandpaper in the post to sort the neck 😆

My uncle had one of these in about 1990, thought he was rich... anyhow... what were we saying...

I have never once worried this much about anything. Here’s how I run the scenario in my head (taking into account: room dynamics, band set up, amp, strings, pickup position, signal chain, bass construction, player, fingers or pick...all other possible variables...) For this - please imagine an internalised conversation with oneself... “does this sound good?” ’yes...’ “Very good - carry on...” OR ”Something doesn’t sound quite right” ’what are you going to do?’ ”change a couple of settings until it sounds better” ’very good’

I think they’re 32” - this is a pretty uncommon finish, normally seen in black or black with ghost flames which changed orange to purple. this one is on reverb at about £650 currently.

What a dummy. He’ll never make a name for himself.

Yeah, he’s really ballsed up making basses. 😆

Meh. To all of this,

Honest guess? An Encore 3/4 with a messed about with body and added pickguard they were £89 in Argos in the 1990’s

With a redesigned pickguard...pretty cool?

I just cannot believe someone if not a group of people round the table signed off on this. It’s not even a “swing and a miss.” It’s just god awful. So so stupid. Ah well, it’s kept me busy tonight...

Fairly rancid

£849 for the 4 string

Whey! Back on topic...

I’ll just get me saw out 😋

Also, wonder why they’re not £700+ anymore 🤔😏

Well. I think £575 should come with a decent finish. I also hasten to add that the pickguards looked like they’d been cut with a butter knife while blindfolded. Maybe the 2 I saw were Friday afternoon jobs. but they Undid the desire for me there and then.

Well, at £700-£800, that’s a bit crap isn’t it. Hence the “crappy” neck quip. shame, the Jackson C5P I had for years absolutely had one of the nicest necks I’ve ever played. The rest of the stuff seemed good on paper.

I have made a few references now to how disappointed I was when I felt the necks on these. Gritty, rough and cheap feeling.

Even with the crappy neck finish?

A charvel apparently

Wasn’t the guitar called a fusion? I may be wrong

Wish it had 21 frets. Hmm.

Is that a fusion?

Always liked their JJ bass, again, instead of the current horrors.
