Cosmo Valdemar Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 But, no adverse feedback, even when cranked right up! This of course is a common issue with lesser instruments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I'm leaning towards thinking he actually believes a lot of this guff himself. Sounds like he's chucked a lot of money at what's basically a generic £90 Korean Jazz copy, unless he's making it up. Anyone ever heard of these "not available in the UK" Roadrunner pickups? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassfinger Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Not that I'm a woodologist of any kind, but I'm pretty sure the fingerboard isn't mahogany. I'm not sure how he thinks bolting on £360 worth of bits to a £150 bass suddenly makes the instrument worth £399. Those maths never worked when I was 17 and souping up my Allegro by bolting spoilers and spotlights to it, and nearly 35 years on those maths still don't add up for musical instruments.

If it's that generation it's good gear, but the price seems rather steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Milestone basses went on sale about 1995/1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Despite his claims that he is selling to fund a better instrument, I'd wager he isn't a player. The wording is the sort of thing a noddy would come up with by cribbing from and cobbling together other peoples' ads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
