lapolpora Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 There ought to be a sub-forum for fakers.... I just saw this on the Bass Palace website: http://thebasspalace.com/product_info.php?products_id=419&osCsid=d27a6c60ae87d9ec93f90c1d0bd88399 Is this in any way legit? My guess is that it's a custom build/homemade with Status parts. I don't remember seeing anything like this coming from our man in Essex.

BassBus Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's no Status bass. Looks like it might be a Washburn Series 1000 that's had the horns restyled but certainly not a Status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1365502756' post='2040320'] It's no Status bass. Looks like it might be a Washburn Series 1000 that's had the horns restyled but certainly not a Status. [/quote]Spot on. Truss-rod cover is a dead giveaway. $250..tops.

MiltyG565 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm not very well up on these things, but as soon as i saw it, i kind of felt like it had fake written all over it. It certainly doesn't match the quality of any status I have ever seen (talking in terms or materials used). Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I already spoke to him about it last week and mentioned I thought the bass was a beater. He said he'd change the listing or remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm tempted to buy a bunch of the free basses off of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
