Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I'd never heard of him, but one of his 5ers is for sale at the Gallery at the moment Quote

Russ Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I seem to recall that pretty much all Jeff Finch basses I've ever seen are either copies or approximations of other companies' basses... would that be accurate to say? That one above is pretty obviously based on an F Bass. Quote

I think you will find the above Bass was around before 'F' Basses. Unless that is a newer version than the one i tried Donkey's years ago. Top bloke though ..and a good player who new his stuff.
