geoffbyrne Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 MMmmmm. Short-scale Musician (effectively) - interesting, but sadly, no money (not that much anyway!). G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The advert made me smile, there's something mildly amusing about such rampant patriotic displays whilst trying to sell a Japanese instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something funny about such rampant American patriotic displays advertising a Japanese instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Someone should ask him whether the instrument is US made... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Is it just me or is something odd about this? I know Stanley is pretty well known and stuff...ahem...but regardless of who you are (And especially if you are fortunate enough to have space for lots of guitars), if Jeff Beck specially commissioned a bass guitar for you, including name plate inlay etc, in the style of your own bass, including headstock shape etc, surely you´d keep it wouldnt you?? Maybe its the cynic in me, but i fear someone has seen a bass that is slightly clarke-esque, and for 25$, had a nameplate made, and inlaid into the fretboard, add nearly $3000 to the price, and 3 lines of celeb-story, and voila, instant celeb guitar. I really hope I´m wrong, I´m clearly far too distrusting, but why would Stanley give it up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bass looks like a crappy fake to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
