Really liked these when I worked in a fender dealership, I fitted a wide bevel celluloid tort pickguard to one I sold for the customer and added covers. Looked the dogs danglies...

pretty cool!

I’ve owned both. the Korean ones tend to have a very dark stained back/sides almost opaque. The chinese ones are more like the old Gibson 70’s walnut. there are a couple knocking about used in gold, one seems clean at £400 Chinese, one is battered and Korean £395. As an outlier there’s also a Korean Peerless bass master for £500 ish - which is the old Korean Epiphone factory making their own version. there’s no difference in build or sound.

And my new tune (made by Deviser) - mine is blue though...

Then I won’t bother 😂

I know you’re I want a 3001 the 33” scale version

Customs though. Leaving Russia

They don’t mess about in Russia 😳

Blue burst? And I don’t want it? Well. That’s a relief.

Well. I want to see this. I’m in.

Yeah, their design team do projects every year - this was the 2002/3 project. I got a HH in desert gold for my 21st birthday. sold it. Unbelievable. Still hate myself for it.

My guess is that by this time next week...20 years will disappear

@ordep love the Modulus VJ

Car crash bass design...

Oh mate, I like you... a lot...but I think you need an eye test.

That’s him - the guy with a portacabin and a stack of sansamps. @walshy knows him. He’s dodgy too.

“Step into my office/portacabin, sir...”

@Dad3353 is that bloke...shifty looking and somewhat unnerving until you get to know him...

And that ding...while a colour match...needs sorting properly.

Yeah. It was closer when it was originally for sale. It’s gone the wrong direction sort of...

Well. Leg one of the journey is done. It’s made it from the Russian gumtree seller to my shipping agent in Vladivostok...

Yeah, I’m a big stingray fan - I’ve had about 6. I would only buy an earlier 90’s one now.
