Annoying Twit Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sattelite-Fret-Less-Precision-Bass-Thru-Neck-Fender-Flatwound-Strings-/171319754313?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item27e373fe49 Performing standard Satellite P-Bass ebay listing analysis. Claims that this bass is MIJ .... NOT FOUND Unrealistic BIN or starting bid .... NOT FOUND Finally a reasonable seller of one of these. Until "I will remove the neck prior to shipping." Ooops! (The seller has already modified the listing to explain why s/he won't be removing the neck before posting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 These can be pretty nice if you get a good one - latterly had DiMarzio pickups fitted, I believe, but Bassassin will jump in & correct me if I'm wrong - he usually does - and I'm usually wrong!!!!

G. [/quote] Don't remember seeing these with DiMarzios but that doesn't mean it didn't happen, Geoff! Hondo put them in similar-standard instruments at that time, quite possible these Satellites came from the same factory Hondo was using, so it ain't unlikely. DiMarzios were a pretty standard upgrade on loads of 70s/80s basses anyway, so on that basis I tend to pay close attention to any old cheapo that turns up with cream pickup covers! Jon.
