    Here's my 1990 MIJ Fender...

    If you have to wait I'd get them to knock something off the price in order to make up for the inconvenience.

    You don't have to play a bass chaotically for them to appear. Play the strings in a normal way several hundred times and you're going to get some marks being made by the plectrum below those strings once in a while. It adds up over time.

    Aurora made a few for me awhile bacj and they were poor or bloody awful quality. E-mails to them about a refund for the latter go unanswered too

    [quote name='karlfer' post='1170477' date='Mar 21 2011, 11:12 AM']I know it's been suggested that these are reported to FEEBay, but there needs to be a very high level of certainty before that happens. Food for thought I guess.[/quote] Yeah, but this is one of the more blatant examples of fraud.

    Looks like a rebadged modern Squier to me...

    Was it in that condition when you bought it? By that, I mean did it have the thumbrest and the baseball bat switch? Also, is the last fret marker (at the body end of the neck) indented, or is that just the photo?
  9. Jerry_B
    Do you have any actual photos of the kit itself?
  10. Jerry_B
    This is where we need FlatEric... That said, some might say that the additions (thumbrest and the pickup selector switch) might sway the price slightly...

    Here's another use for tape (by Bourbonese Qualk)...
  12. Jerry_B
    Wasn't someone nicked for it in the UK awhile back?
  13. Jerry_B
    There are notes...?

    Does anyone apart from me think it'd be a good thing if all us folks here at BC took it upon ourselves to inform the Bay of this and any future dodgyness? I think we have enough people here who can spot the crap being flogged there, and I think it'd being doing the world of bass playing a favour...

    [quote name='MuckedUpFunkies' post='1162452' date='Mar 14 2011, 09:50 PM']You've never dropped an expensive instrument or been smacked in the face then =)[/quote] I've never had a bass slip it's moorings, so to speak Not with the one I used for 20 years nor the ones I use now.

    I think the only ones that fit are on the Classic Vibe Precision. Not sure about the CV Jazz though, but I know that other Squier basses usually have their own template which doesn't match Fender's.

    I've never seen the need for strap locks, to be honest...
  19. Jerry_B
    Fender Japan used to - maybe they still do (my unlined fretless is a MIJ Jazz). Mighty Mite and Warmoth also make them.

    Have you seen the [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/Home.html"]Retrovibe[/url] Rics, Wayne? Not too much over 200 quid. Seems to be well thought of here.
  21. Jerry_B
    The only Ric' I ever had a try on way back when was one of these, as far as I can remember. Really good bass!
  22. Jerry_B
    Maybe steel flatwounds would temper that a bit, I wonder....
  23. Jerry_B
    Well, if it did it would probably just make the P sound a bit boomier, but in full P/J mode that wouldn't hurt all that much I guess.
  24. Jerry_B
    Are ebanol boards not much good then? They look a bit glassy. I wonder whether they can be softened up a bit with fine grit sandpaper or something similar?
  25. Jerry_B
    The J pickup helps to thin out the thudiness of the P pickup also, even when you roll off the former. That said, the J pup can sound a bit thin when soloed and played with a plectrum. Luckily the P pickup can be rolled in slightly to fatten it up.
