Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 They got [b]Ibabez[/b] geetars. I think the quality can be deduced by the sunburst pattern on the SRV strat - plywood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) They have suspiciously similar stock levels: 30 or 40 of all guitars or basses, have they not sold 1 of anything?

Im my year in 'fashion' that is how companies look at things, but it may be different in bass world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On second thoughts, why should I deprive the bloke who sells her the cheap Leatherman copies down the market of his annual sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 On another forum we were discussing fakes. Some of the fakers say that they have lots of different basses (or guitars) and ask if you can send photographs so that they can make sure that they get you the right instrument. I wonder what would happen if someone used The Gimp or similar graphics program to create a picture of a Fender Jazz bass with a Rick headstock or something and asked if they had any.
