pineweasel Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 That's a genuine Korean Fender Squier Series, circa 1993-94. Quite tempting. Looks like the jack socket is missing though? Quote
uk_lefty Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) I did think it odd to put that logo on if making a fake... But couldn't search the serial number anywhere. Puzzling. Price seems a bit strong for a squier, even though it is "fender" logo'd Edited January 12, 2018 by uk_lefty Quote

Looks like the jack socket is missing though? it is, sorry Lefty J for doubting you, bit naughty of the seller to describe it as an Precision Standard and leaving Squier out of the title and description, apparently they're nothing special (ply body?)

Having had a nose around it seems you're right; ply body, mediocre hardware and pickups. Certainly overpriced. Quote
LeftyJ Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Too bad, as there have been rather excellent Korean Fenders AND Squiers! I quite like the late 90s Squier Pro Tone series for example. Quote

LeftyJ Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Quote CMI - Cleartone Musical Instruments were an offshoot of Marshall - mostly imports although there were some home-grown amps with that name. I think you'll find that the imported instruments like the example in the OP came from whichever Japanese factory was offering the best deal for a particular quality of instrument at the time. Quoting BigRedX from this earlier thread. I've heard mixed opinions on these, but mostly good ones. Quote
PaulWarning Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 this looks a decent price considering the cost of new Precisions these days, don't like sunburst myself https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152870120346?ul_noapp=true Quote

Tricky to clean too, being oiled instead of lacquered. Prabably requires sanding down a fair bit and re-oiling. Or, if you don't mind the dirt, just oil. Quote
uk_lefty Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I couldn't tell if it was rosewood or maple at first!! Quote
mxm Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Can’t work out it’s age, bridge suggests early 90’s (transition - longer with mutes) but the serial looks to be an ‘L’ 00...’ prefix which would date it mid-90’s, where it would normally have a cut-down bridge ?!!! ...cool bass though. Quote

blablas Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Probably a Chinabacker. If it is it's overpriced. Edited January 19, 2018 by blablas Quote

sblueplanet Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 Even if that bass isn’t a geniune Moon then that it is a complete steal. Quote
uk_lefty Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 No idea what it is, if it really is a "custom" bass you'd think it was worth over 200. Could it just be a can of white spray paint taken to an old Samik? Can't think of any other bass with that pickup placement in lefty. Quote
LeftyJ Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 It even has a Moon decal on the headstock, but something is definitely off. The angled neck pickup is very Moon, but the bridge pickup is too far from the bridge, and overall it just doesn't look "right". Quote

LeftyJ Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Carvin Timothy B. Schmitt (The Eagles) signature in France that has been dropping in price gradually but still remained unsold for at least a year now. Passive, with just a volume control (not even pickup pan): https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1516669 Hideous but affordable Maruszczyk Hellwood 5, in France too: https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/dispannonce.php?annonce=1490717 Quote
LeftyJ Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Fender MIJ JB75 reissue with actual 70s pickup spacing - unusual! Mine has regular spacing. Great basses, I love mine.
