Rumple Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I kinda like it but I certainly wouldn't pay that sort of money for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger2611 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 £850 does seem rather steep for a Fender fretless neck which from the description may have had the fretboard swapped and a Jazz bass body of unknown origins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The fretboard extends well past the end of the neck and over the body, it's not unattractive (to me) but certainly detracts from any vintage value the neck might have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 The seller is a professional bass seller who lives not far from me. He's always got something overpriced for sale. He had a Satellite P bass for sale for £299 a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebassist Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'll be amazed if he gets anywhere near this kind of money for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_sub Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1458683665' post='3009899'] I'm guessing that the scale length is much shorter than a stock P/J, so the side dots (if there are any) will be out? Or is it simply modeled with a longer fingerboard than stock, running up to 30 frets in scale or so? [/quote] I would have assumed it would be the latter - probably decent for getting some decent DB tones when playing on top of the fingerboard...

Grangur Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1458763390' post='3010694'] Stevenage Gumtree is basically that guy's personal selling page! Lots of delusionally priced instruments photo'd against the same background. [/quote] This. There's not a lot of Fender about this one is there? If I put Fender tuners logo and bridge on my bitsa can I sell that as a Fender too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
