Kenny Gair Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hi, Anyone got any experience of Mazeti basses? I am keen in a 5 string fretless I have been offered but know nothing about them and need to buy blind. Price looks good though for the instrument. Any advice? Hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I had a twin neck 5/7 string bass/guitar from them. IIRC (as it was a while ago now) it seemed pretty solid, decent sound. Pretty nice. cant say about fretless, but quality was pretty good. pic (only small) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Gair Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 That's quite a beast! £300 mark sound OK for a fretless 5 you think? Assuming of course decent condition etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that point of view £300 might seem a bit much, but then again they're not available now. I guess the real question is what other fretless 5ers are available for £300?

tommorichards Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 it sort of depends, as there seem to be a few different 5 string fretless versions out there, with varying prices, and it would be best to know is it active? Humbucker pickups? through Neck?. I paid £250 for that doubleneck new, which i thought was pretty good. But for that amount, there are a few good basses you can get, of which there are more reviews about. It will probably sound pretty good, but i wouldn't pay £300. Id be more inclinded for about £200-250 if it played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Gair Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Oh well, deal done at £299 delivered. I will report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirpinno Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Hi, what did you think of the bass please? I appreciate it has been more than a few years but I'm looking at a fretted fiver on ebay now and there's not much information. Thanks in advance.

lemmywinks Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Zombie thread revival! Mazeti are from KHL Guitars I think, a Korean OEM however they have outsourced production outside of Korea. The Mazeti branded instruments used to be all over eBay but it seems like there's a seller who still has some (possibly NOS) and is offering them at inflated prices. They were always budget but decent IIRC, nice woods but the market is crowded at that price point and depreciation will be considerable. KHL were also sold under the HK brand here for a while and also Wolf in the USA. Edited July 3, 2023 by lemmywinks 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
