bassbloke Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 One of these was very nearly my first 5 string bass. I'd placed a deposit on it and everything, but sacrificed the £20 in favour of buying a Charvel Fusion 5 string in my local music shop. Supposed to be good instruments and could be an absolute steal [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-SQUIER-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ280368957328QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item41474ac790&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-SQUIER-BASS-G...%3A1%7C294%3A50[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banana Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Gosh, that looks really nice. Great refinish. I suspect that it may be MIJ too, I used to have an eighties Strat that had very similar logo to that, it was really high quality & I should never have sold it.

bassbloke Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 It'll be Japanese and very well made - possibly even made in the Hertfield factory. It'll propbably be better quality than a MIM Fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
