I’ve never ever put any credibility into those opinions/statements. ”mij Fenders are brilliant” - some are, I’ve played some Japanese fender dogs, and by the same token some amazing and terrible MIM ones. Same goes for USA built. we once got 8 new 2008 jazz basses in at once and 5 were great, 2 were underwhelming, and I sent one back - just horrific. I don’t believe that geography has a bearing on wether or not a bass is any good. That’s before you take into account what each individual player wants. but if it helps, I owned several Japanese BB’s and some Taiwanese ones at the same time. There was nothing between them, quality wise. I kept the 414, which is Indonesian. And “lesser”. Sits proudly with a jazz bass and Modulus which if I bought new now I’d have to spend £10,000 to replace between them. Think it’s cost me £150 in total.

That’s fantastic. Insanely jealous of the moves - and he keeps a busy bassline going throughout. I can only do one or the other. I’m working on it...

Ok, I get the point you are making.

Ah. Irony. Ok...

I don’t know what this is...”despite being made by one-eyed Indonesians...” very uncomfortable with reading that. I have Indonesian family members...they all have 2 eyes... maybe I’ve just got it wrong. as an aside, the 2004/2005 are Taiwanese.

Arrives tomorrow! Blummin eck

Done that. My sonic port is going on eBay

If I had £6500 spare, that would be sat here. I’d flog the fretless neck though

Love the shape of the Sonus, just lovely.

1025x @Al Krow thought you’d spot that a country mile off?

Sims? Dave Wilson?

He’s retired x

How’s the fender? I was eyeing that up

If this was available fretted I’d be in trouble. Love that bonkers neck

There was a bass chatter who offered this...

Well apparently, natural wood brown doesn’t count...there are rules as to what constitutes “brown”. Has to be painted...like...that musicman.

They’re also very brown

Musicman Boggo

The centre of this bass needs some of that burst

Now that is a BROWN BASS

Fit that. And the lpb. do wish they hadn’t done matching headstocks on the maple. Always looks wrong to me.

It’s honeyburst. Which is musicman for brown.
