cameltoe Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Surely this is just another cheap Chinese P clone? They do a good job of making it sound comparable to Fender custom shop: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=271764822557 Edited February 7, 2015 by cameltoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Do they? I wouldnt know as i cant read the description! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Plenty of hyperbole but I wouldn't call it misleading in any way. Speaking as someone prone to verbose, overly-detailed and (some might say) florid sales descriptions, I'm inclined to think it's a better selling technique than simply saying: "Generic P bass copy. Black". And no - it's not mine... Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Generic were a good band back in the day. Always liked a bit of prog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it's come straight off a production line in China and is in no way 'custom'? I wouldn't call it misleading as much as I would outright b***s***! 😀 Obviously we at basschat are far too astute to fall for such sales ploys, I think the price is probably the most accurate description the seller could have made! Says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL POSTERS Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Unlacquered headstock, so you can add your favourite logo..... Family [u]owned[/u] guitar building company. Yeah, Like Tata Steel is a one man band... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where it was manufactured, who owns that manufacturer & what their finishing process was - do you? If it's the use of the word "custom" you object to, then there are going to be a lot of targets for your ire beyond this one - including an entire Dutch brand from the 70s! And that would definitely beg the question - in what way is Squier's Vintage Modified range "modified"? What from? And by whom??? I demand we are told! J.
