So I got some pics today of my bass still being built, so far it looks good, the seller has estimated a week until it's finished.

Looks great from those updated pics. If you have to replace all the hardware it'll still be a bargain if the woodwork is solid.

Yes I'm interested to see what size the pickups are, maybe some emgs will fit?

I've had loads of stuff directly from China (via eBay usually) and have had no problems and only experienced from good to excellent value for money.

Yep
Instant refund where quality wasn't up to snuff

It's certainly ugly enough to pass for a Fodera :-)

At that price I wonder if they'll actually use a burled wood top or if it's just a pattern printed on?

I'm interested to see what it's like when you actually get it.

I quite like the Fodera shape, it's the price that puts me off.

I'm not a fan on the control layout, think Stevie Wonder drilled it

My OCD can't get past the bridge placement not being in the centre of the tone-block......or matching up with the width of the neck.
It will be interesting to see what the general fit and finish is like, the nut looks messy, however could just be shine/bad photos.
I wonder what the inside cavity looks like :P
And yes, the control layout is............silly

That does look very nice. Props to you for not getting a butterfly logo put on it. I'm looking forward to hearing how it plays and sounds.

Thanks I didn't want to go for a blatant rip off, videos to come

I was expecting a few errors so I can't say I'm disappointed in the bass lol 😆

Seeing as there's very little symmetry on the whole design, I'd have not even noticed if it hadn't been pointed out that some stuff is not 'centred'..! I'm not, in general, fond of 'coffee table' designs, but that looks very nice, especially the speckled aspect of the table. Jolly good, I say. :D

First thing I spotted lol. Meh, I dunno, at any price point I don't expect 'errors', those Sires look pretty flawless for the same money.
Tbh, I'd stick to that really nice Corvette you got man! :)

:lol:

yeah, that's a little odd!

when will you receive it? I hope it plays nicely. I'm not a big fan of that kind of bass, but I can see its beauty!

In the first photo it looks on the wonk but later in the album it looks better:



Possibly a shadow?

What do those knobs do ? Is the placing logical ?
Nice woodwork though and ckearly very nice timber and work

I asked him a few times what the controls were but never got an answer lol I assume it's vol, bass, mid, treble, blend?
