scalpy Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Too good to be true?- I'd have another LB100 in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) 79 pieces in stock....More than probably every shop stocks..... Edited June 6, 2019 by BassApprentice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Well musicman basses are made in one factory in california, I've been there, so I don't think they are buying those from the same factory where all this overstock is coming from! I think maybe buyer beware might be advisable, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe buyer beware might be advisable, lol Well, there's this used Stingray for 30 Euros: https://www.howtoprepandsurvive.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27392 It's most probably just me but, I'm left wondering whether maybe, just maybe, (I am rather known for being a touch cynical at times...), this could possibly be a scam? I mean, it most probably isn't, but there's something that just doesn't seem quite right here..... I've emailed them expressing interest in the G&L, asking for information about how I would go about buying it. Looking forward to the reply.

oldslapper Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I bought a unicorn at a very reasonable price from there. Run by a very nice African prince. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubsonicSimpleton Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Given that they are listing multiples in stock of various antique brass instruments at similar price to the basses, my guess would be that if you order you will receive a photo or poster of the item you have bought.

reesource Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I like point 5: With our store, you can discover quickly and easily 1 . A versatile collection of the hottest designer products online for sale; 2. The much lower price than in other shops; 3. Sales and discounts are offered by us when you are shopping; 4. These hard-to-find items, or that unique and rare find; 5. The best customer service you never get. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

project_c Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I don’t get how sites like this don’t get shut down. The internet is littered with fake chinese shops now, it’s not just musical instruments, it’s clothes, tech, everything, and it all shows up on the first page of a google search. The whole of China should just be blocked from the internet until they sort out their laws, which are nonexistent when it comes to this stuff. An entire economy built on theft and the production of endless fake counterfeit plastic garbage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were talking about the site in question a couple of weeks back on Facebook. That's where I got the heads up. IIRC, the photos kept changing or vanishing as well.
