Annoying Twit Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Where is this bass likely to be made? At the price, I'd presume Mexico.

Annoying Twit Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks. Over twice as much for the American standard, I now see.

7string Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I personally don't think that the USA basses are worth that kind of money. There's a lot of choice when you come near to the £1k barrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't think the Mex Standards are worth £400 either, compared with what £400 will buy you from Ibanez, Yamaha etc. Edit - the Fender in my avatar is Japanese, and its fantastic!

Delberthot Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think most of the ones that have 'upgrade' after them are MIM models. Unless I got a crazy deal on a MIA, I would only go for CIJ models FWIW BTW IMO GCH GSOH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
