I've seen basses like this branded Commodore (I think Nick has/used to have something similar) and it appears to be a Mat build. It's got a BIN of £150 at the moment, but I'd suggest someone within easy reach of Aberdeen goes for this - I don't like all this talk of bubble wrap and brown paper!

Sounds pretty good, need to check the treble side of the preamp as something is buzzing a bit. not sure what i will do with it, anyone wanna swap it for a jazz shaped bit of japcrap?

My first bass teacher had one just like this, and it was branded Commodore. This was back in 1980 or so. I can't really remember if it was any good or not, but I remember liking the way it looked. We always did lessons on his Fender Precision, so I only played it once or twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until concentrating on its own designs in the late 80s, mostly built for other marques - notably Fender clones for Fernandes and Gibson clones for Ibanez. It was the "Strats" and "Teles" Kawai built for Fernandes in the 70s, and Tokai built for Fernandes in the 80s, as well as Tokai’s own clones, that undermined Fender's sales in Asia, and resulted in Fender setting up in Japan.

Like if you could be bothered to set it up you could get twice as much for it- it makes me wonder whats wrong with it! theres also a CSL jazz copy that looks quite nice if out of focus. Of course it had to get the word ibanez in there, even if it probably is a ibby under a different brand this time!
