doctor_of_the_bass Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hallo There is a rumour that they have something to do with Tokai - I've got one of them and the build quality is superlative considering the price. There are obvious cosmetic differences to the Tokais but I'd say that there's nothing a good setup could not overcome in terms of playability! Highly recommended.

Paul Cooke Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Fiesta red... that's just a poncy name for pink isn't it? If you asked the "man in the street" what colour it was, he'd say pink... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHimself Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 yeah personally i think those no-name basses are actually better quality than anything else for the same price really (well new anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_ferret Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Clint Eastwood Fiesta Red is the correct name for Salmon Pink. Fender never made Salmon Pink and the famous instruments are a batch of Fiesta Red that faded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deksawyer Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 These basses come from the same factory as Jim Deacon & SX. I have one, I've gigged with it and they're remarkable value for money. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesemt Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 Knowing that they are similar to SX/Jim Deacon is very annoying - I searched high and low trying to find a UK distributor of an SX (all the Jim Deacons I've seen are Precisions, and very limited colours...). In the end, I bought one from Rondo Music in America... Worth knowing about for a future purchase - although I've seen JD Precisions at £85...wonder if the extra cash is worth it?

alchemy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) wow... I would really like to have a shoreline gold/rosewood P in my collection that's a pity I've never seen them in Italy... I think that shipping would raise the price too much Edited September 20, 2007 by alchemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
