TheGreek Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Bass is in Italy but only for sale to UK residents.....am I right to be cynically suspicious? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403942791730?hash=item5e0cddda32:g:~vUAAOSwSdRjTADG&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoEozJ6fb8Vvxh9PjUdVa3uTF%2FAWWO%2FiAOgD9SH6Eh%2BRFMUwSYom0gTTVj0oSivCChs3W%2B%2FDSToyCKhujjhSDeKzaCfcJGoi3HyD7LbZe7K5QeE%2F7Ow8lblqXfP%2BAoA%2FCDFt6vMpdBJICnWHtlrfo%2FlcfPp0LJluKV9lHGkGjFA%2Fqs40G10%2BcWGumP4E6CxPU7AhdZX6O5hYT1PUxIFYDAQw%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9aVkYH-YA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass was made in Italy, but the seller is in ... London, U.K. 🤦🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 It's kind of obvious that he simply is a retailer for this unknown brand, which is quite common and not suspicious at all. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) I might be wrong but it doesn't exactly scream 'handmade in Italy' to me, with its scarf-jointed neck, generic hardware (inc Schaller knockoff bridge), wonky tuner positioning etc. I'd say AliExpress Special with its headstock messily 'refinished' and a little tin medallion (held on with a B&Q brass woodscrew) stuck on the back. Ambitious but (probably) rubbish. Just checked the seller's other items/sold listings & he has a few other suspiciously generic & knockoffy basses & guitars with the same stickers & tin badges. Edited October 19, 2022 by Bassassin Corroborating evidence!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 It's not the ugliest bass I've seen... I'm slightly perturbed by the paintjob on the headstock. Was this a stylistic choice or was the paintbrush wielded by someone with the DT's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The item for sale is located in Italy and will be shipped via international courier at the end of the auction. This offer is limited to UK residents only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
