Serginhobass Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) I bought that bass. It was a real bargain. The seller even made me a discount!! I'm very happy with the bass, the only thing I did not like was the bridge cover that he installed on it Other than that the bass is all original with the deluxe case and tags. I am a very happy bunny Edited October 8, 2017 by Serginhobass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I have one, I got it because I wanted a Fender PJ and liked the nitro and amber colour. I'm not bothered about Tony Franklin and his playing, I'm sure he's a great player etc, but I don't listen to his music or know anything about it. I do love the bass though.

wateroftyne Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Nice score! Praise be for eBay auctions and Gumtree ads with terrible photos. It's the only way to get a bargain these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 [quote name='project_c' timestamp='1507970293' post='3389024'] I'm not bothered about Tony Franklin and his playing, [/quote] Me neither. The concept of signature instruments seems nuts to me. Are we to believe we'll be able to play like the 'name' player? I'd buy a sig bass, but only if I liked it. The associated name is irrelevant. For example, I liked the Dee Dee Ramone bass, not because of him, but because it seemed like a nice bass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
