Really surprised this is still here, it looks amazing.

So am I Tom.
Only thing that put me off is the nut is far too recessed into the top of the neck. Something not right there.
Asking the question of the seller, I was told all the guitars he sells are perfect, sadly he didn't answer my question as to wether the truss rod still worked, was maxed out, if the neck was twisted etc.

So, I'm out.

I bought a bass off this guy - it was a Yamaha TRB6 copy, even had the Yamaha logo on the headstock and came with a Yamaha owners manual.

But it was absolutely shocking - scratches, poorly finished frets, damage to the end of the fretboard, neck like a banana.

Needless to say it went right back to him and I got a refund.

Chinese copies perhaps? I couldn't say for certain but I'd never had a copy with the logo on the headstock and an owners manual before so whoever is making them is going to some lengths to try and pass them off as originals

Thanks for sharing Delberthot, kinda backs up my gut feeling.
Shame didn't have Basschat when I lived in Brightons, couldv'e had a wee swallie.

Thanks for the input guys, I hadn't noticed the nut Karl.

I was so close to buying it too. My gut said no even though it's exactly the colour I want

Ah well....
