Happy Jack Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I love the fact that the small hole "happened". It was, like, [i][b]spontaneous [/b][/i]y'know ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Adams Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Shame, those VM Fretless look really nice to me, for a £300 bass. He's had a go at adding beefy electrics and made the whole thing into firewood. I wouldn't want that at any cost, let alone £250. To me that's more of a Frankenbass than any of the relics Ive seen. I guess he knows he's ruined it, and is trying to get his money back out of it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Aside from the inexplicable hole (?) and the battery box, that looks OK. Possibly a tad overpriced, but I bet those EMGs sound lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of minor cosmetic issues on a budget bass is hardly the end of the world, the hole in the front could be put to some use like low battery indicator or DFA switch. I wouldn't want it at any cost either, but I wouldn't have any Squier or Fender at any cost anyway (not unless I could sell them on straight away for a nice profit).

Annoying Twit Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I must admit that I wouldn't be concerned about the hole at all if it meant that I could get the bass at a reduced price. However, I don't think that £250 is a reduced price, even with the EMGs. IMHO sometimes when a bass is modified, the owner assumes that its value has gone up by the cost of the modifications, but the market believes otherwise.
