TheGreek Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 4 hours to go and still £50 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CSL-Bass-Guitar-1980s-Japanese-Fender-Jazz-Copy/282793076788?hash=item41d7c7e834:g:QzoAAOSwFb5aSnVC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 That's pretty cool. Not Ibanez/Fujigen though, probably closer to Columbus or Grant - it looks like a Chushin Gakki build to me. It's a bit of a myth that CSLs were "rebranded Ibanez". There's a connection because Charles Summerfield Ltd was UK distributor for Ibanez & sourced their own CSL & Sumbro brands through Hoshino, owner of Ibanez. However CSLs tend to be rebrands of Hoshino's budget Cimar range, & that's what I'd say this is. Body finish is a bit odd, might be a bitsa. Pickups (neck pup specifically) are interesting, "Reflex" rings a bell but never seen a Roto-branded one. Hour & 40 to go, still £50 with just one bid, interesting bargain for someone - might have been me if it was a bit nearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) That could just be a sticker in the neck pup. Maybe not They're not origina though, nor is the bridge, or the control plate, or the knobs, or the body finish Edited January 8, 2018 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
