thedontcarebear Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I would assume it was that Luthier Extreme or whatever it was on ebay from brazil that made loads of shoddy bodies and the occasional full bass, mainly sort of copies of all the big basses around. But I guess how good they were relied on the person who got the body and what they did with it if it wasn't one already made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) Those are two Lane Poor pickups. They make that bass a bargain. What a steal! If you decide to sell when you put the Nords in I'll definitely taken them off your hands. Edited October 17, 2008 by Toasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 yeah they look like lane poors all right, superb buy, if you decide to sell them (for whatever crazy reason!), you'll get crazy high bids for them on ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 [quote name='alembic1989' post='307562' date='Oct 16 2008, 07:50 AM']Handmade at home I guess..as long as it sounds wicked who cares?[/quote] I was wondering how much of a risk it was to buy a handmade bass on ebay without playing it. Then I saw others mentioning that the pickups alone are worth a lot. Have you bought other custom specials like this in the past? Can you spot the ones likely to be good? But returning to the topic, I think you should keep on buying new basses at just the right rate so that when you finally find you have too many basses and need a clearout, that I might be in the position to swoop.

I am expecting it to arrive tomorrow...who knows.maybe his own pickups are really good..we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
