They tend to be junk and Ken Smith refuses to take any responsibility even though he sold them and his name is on it. They are cheap Asian imports with a big markup.

warwickhunt Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Your repairer; Dave 'DW'... is it Dave Wilson? [url="http://www.dwilsonguitars.com/"]http://www.dwilsonguitars.com/[/url] If it is then £100 for him to do the work is very cheap and that isn't a slight on him, it's intended as praise; Dave's work is top notch and I can't imagine how he'll do it that cheap!

chrismuzz Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Have you looked into Shine basses? My first 6 string was made by them and I can't bring myself to get rid of it. It's so much better than the £150 I paid for it suggests! EDIT: Oh, and look into Peavey as well. They play beautifully!

lettsguitars Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 backtracking slightly, but those cracks. looks like it's been kept in a bad environment which has caused the wood to move. if the bass had been dropped there would be evidence of the impact, ie, a shatter somewhere. the fact that it stems from the neck pocket says it all. the damage is superficial if thats the case.
