Just one of the many things wrong with that ad!

But, no adverse feedback, even when cranked right up! This of course is a common issue with lesser instruments.

Bye eck, some people don't half try it on!

I'm leaning towards thinking he actually believes a lot of this guff himself. Sounds like he's chucked a lot of money at what's basically a generic £90 Korean Jazz copy, unless he's making it up. Anyone ever heard of these "not available in the UK" Roadrunner pickups?

Not that I'm a woodologist of any kind, but I'm pretty sure the fingerboard isn't mahogany.

I'm not sure how he thinks bolting on £360 worth of bits to a £150 bass suddenly makes the instrument worth £399. Those maths never worked when I was 17 and souping up my Allegro by bolting spoilers and spotlights to it, and nearly 35 years on those maths still don't add up for musical instruments.

"Has no bum notes"? 

Hand it over pal, I'll find 'em.

Sounds like my kind of bass....”it plays itself”!🙌

The logo does look the same as my early 90s USA Peavey Predator. If it's that generation it's good gear, but the price seems rather steep.

Milestone basses went on sale about 1995/1996.

What are the bets this guy is a politician, he sounds like he is pitching for either side of Brexit.

Despite his claims that he is selling to fund a better instrument, I'd wager he isn't a player. The wording is the sort of thing a noddy would come up with by cribbing from and cobbling together other peoples' ads.
