Sharkfinger Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Hi Guys What are the chances that this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330142554239) actually had that jazz bridge pup fitted at the factory? I think it's prettly unlikely, myself, which may make that price-tag a little rich. Howerver, I own both a JV squier J and P and can vouch for their value for money. Having said that; really hankering for a P with a maple fretboard and the J pup is always good to have, so I'm a bit tempted. Thoughts? Quote

JV's would never be modded at the factory and the fact that it's a Dimarzzio and different from the P pup screams wrong added to which it has a battery cavity and actives! If that much is wrong you can't trust the guy about any part of the bass. £499 for a bitsa bass is a bit rich, for that kind of money it'd need to be mint and stock. Quote

I've seen [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Bass/product/Fender/American+Hot+Rodded+P-Bass/10/1"]American hot-rodded Precisions[/url] go for that price. A little rare, but well received. Quote

Someone on BT was trying to sell a Hot-Rod for £499 - It could have been walbass(uk?) but I could be very wrong. (twas a while a go too). Quote
franzbassist Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I wanted one... wasn't selling one. I agree that is pretty pricey for a hackjob. Scratchplate isn't original either. Edited July 17, 2007 by walbassist Quote
