Why?

They make some really good basses, by all accounts these models are extremely well made, play brilliantly and sound the nuts.

People pay that sort of money for all the branded Corts (G&L, Lakland etc.) which are overseas basses with decals on.

true, its just like jazz bass, i would either get Fender or Squier, none of the rest that looks like it. well, thinking about it, only Fender really...

I dont know why, i just dont like fake stuff... kinda feels like downloading an album from a torrent instead of having the real thing... just feels wrong to me

Its the fretted version of the Steve Bailey. I nearly bought the fretless one a couple of years ago for something like £600

Carol Kaye did play a 4 string one although that may have been James Jamerson now you come to mention it :)

I fully understand that, I'd love a Jazz one day but it would have to be a fender! Though I wouldn't object to a Sadowsky/Nordy/Lakland either :)

Yep. Some of the early JV's had the same routing as the FujiGen made Grecos. Effectively they were Fender licensed 'fakers.
