wateroftyne Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Limelight 62-ish Jazz. Bought from someone who knew it wasn't a real Fender, sold to me who knew it wasn't a real Fender, then sold it on to someone who kew it wasn't a real Fender. Such a trail of destruction.. so many suffering kittens and puppies. I'm going to hell. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I've never understood the fake logo thing. I can understand the distressing of an instrument to create a certain look, but putting a fake logo, a fogo™ if you will, has always seemed inappropriate. Much as I have an issue with this, credit to Limelight for producing basses with their own logo on them. Much tidier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) here's a Fender copy I regret selling: This is the Basschat Bitsa Jazz, so-called because all the parts came from BC members, with the exception of the tuners. Body was a '72 Fujigen, dated from the codes on the original (dud) Maxon pickups. Can't for the life of me remember what brand it was, got the body off an (ex) member called Tino - from an Ebay sale. The neck came from Toasted (is he still here?) so long ago I think it was back in the Bassworld days. Ashamed to say I can't remember who the pickups came from - particularly considering he gave them to me for nowt! Don't know the date of the neck or the original brand - could just about see the ghost of the original logo & thought it might be Antoria. The fact the neck was a perfect fit for the body, and the screwholes lined up near-perfectly, suggest it probably was. Anyway, after a lot of polishing & fettling this built up into a lovely looking, sounding & playing Japanese J copy, but since I already had a lovely looking, sounding & playing MIJ Jazz copy, I got rid. Traded it on a local FB group for a very roadworn Aria SB-Elite Black & Gold - which by any measure was a ridiculously good deal. But a couple of months later my lovingly restored vintage MIJ Jazz turned up again on the same board, battered, frets wrenched out and absolutely ruined. Hurt, that did.

prowla Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 My first bass was a Columbus Jazz bass; it wasn't bad but wasn't great. It was a copy rather than a fake, as it didn't have a Fender logo on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
