I saw a Jimmy (or Jim) Harley P bass today. Has anyone ever heard of it? Cant see an y info on it really, beyond someone else asking the same question.
Anyone know of it, I assume its a cheapo? Anyone played one?

ps: i think it has big old brass string tension rollers on the bridge (minds gone blank on the proper name for these) and a solid piece of metal for the bridge itself. Not bent tin like some cheap guitars these days.

Just been in to view it. Pretty light, maybe 8lbs, it had the strings through the body. Guy reckons it was imported into the UK maybe 15 or more years back as a [url="http://www.davenicholasorganist.com/pipe-organ-manufacturers/rushworth-and-dreaper/"]Rushworths[/url] own make similar thing. (no idea if this is true) It had [i]made in korea [/i]on the back.

My bandmate from Killer B-Movie picked a P-Bass copy Jim Harley from Cash Converters yesterday for £40, he says it plays and sounds real nice.

He rekons they are constructed somewhere rubbish but with genuine Fender parts?
Not sure where he got that info from though?

Anybody shed any light on these basses?
