BreadBin Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I just spotted this - pretty sure it's not a genuine CT but it looks nice nonetheless. https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183058134086 There are some really interesting basses in Japan it seems :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Doesn't look much like a CT to me, more like a finished Wishbass, definitely wouldn’t drop £1k on it!! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alembic1989 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Looks quite nice..but looks like it might be very neck heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Bit of Drozd in there too. Maybe some Ritter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumimajava Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Saw that on Digimart the other day - might drop by to try it if I'm in Yokohama anytime soon. To be fair, they're not advertising it as a CT, but rather as a "no-brand custom bass". Finishing looks nice, though... I do wonder, however, how are they going to post it outside of Japan, with CITES around, and this being a "no-brand" bass with rosewood in it... Getting papers must be fun.

Yes, I especially liked the fact that they say it's of "unknown origin" - yet everything they sell is "100% authentic" I had to laugh when I read that "pears had probably been used on the fingerboard" Edited February 6, 2018 by Marc S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Turgh Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Nothing to do with bass, but one of my all time favourite translations, found on a kids toy; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Build quality and materials look good though - I question why foreign sellers advertise on UK sites - cost of importing basses at the moment makes most a no-no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I really love the look of this except the cavity cover which isn't terrible but doesn't match the finish of the rest of the bass, especially the screw heads not being countersunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
