Blade basses?

[Brian18242]

Anybody played one of these? Look very nice! £399 seems like a good price!

Wonder if a standard fender 51 pickguard would fit?

'Blade' used to be a top quality Japanese manufacturer but I'd be surprised if this is the exact same outfit even though the name and logo look the same.

The price point is really good but so little online about them. I pulled the trigger and ordered one 😜

These basses have gone way under the radar. I will share my thoughts when it arrives

The best 5 string Jazz I ever played was a Blade. Superb!

I'm very curious too. I have one from 2001 which I absolutely love. I'm a big fan of Blades. I hope this one is decent too!

They don't really offer a wide range of basses. However, I remember the brand featuring a lot in bass player magazine in the mid 90s.
