kevbass Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) Saw it on ebay, that seller who was selling a few jap crap basses, mainly precisions, anyways black on maple and it looks nice, Ive never had a jap crap bass (or korean as could well be the case with this one) but I thought not bad for 50 quid. I know his stuff for sale was flagged up in the ebay links section, did anyone else here pick up anything else he was selling?

john_the_bass Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 what is it and is it 34" scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbass Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Its only an old Hondo Fame 830 bass from the 1980's I think, Its a 20 fret 34' scale neck as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt put them on my watch list so I dont know. Would be interesting to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cream precision went for £49.99. The rather tatty Kay type one didn't sell, but the one in better condition was £49.99. Why am I typing this? Go here: [url="http://search-completed.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=so&sbrftog=1&dfsp=32&satitle=&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sadis=200&fpos=MK18+2FN&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&fis=2&ga10244=10425&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&seller=1&sass=anony_500&fsop=32%26fsoo%3D2&fgtp="]http://search-completed.ebay.co.uk/search/...o%3D2&fgtp=[/url] There's a guy with a Columbus Les Paul with a £199 BIN. He obviously hasn't looked at prior listings... I've had 3 and never paid more than £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
