gjones Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 As far as I'm aware 'Made in USA' has never been printed on the heel of the neck on an American bass. Made in USA is usually on the back or front of the headstock next to the serial number. It sounds suspicous to me. Especially as Noel Redding signature basses were made in Japan.

tommorichards Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 seems as though its been taken down/expired. Maybe they were told from a reputable source about it or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexy666 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 He taken down, because my authentication process Very strange: it has signs to be original (seri number, redding logo) and also signs to be fake ( printed in usa ) it's insane!
