Bassassin Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Considering recent Rick copy prices (£560 for a bolt-neck plywood Korean Hondo!) this is a very, very good price for a high-quality Brazilian-made instrument. I hope people aren't being put off by the fact it isn't JapCrap - Giannini has over a century of guitar-building history & is very well-respected these days for high-end acoustics. I'd have every confidence this bass is easily the match of any of its JapCrap equivalents. Jon.

Anyone seen how much those decent Ibanez & Maya 'Fakers went for recently?!
beerdragon Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Don't suppose you want a SX Pbass with Wizards fitted plus some cash do you?
Kev Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 just as i was considering popping you a pm its gone up to £350 on ebay, so i guess that means a sale on ebay now then rather than here??
phil_the_bassist Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) Yeah, Ebay's the winner today mate, [quote name='beerdragon' post='404723' date='Feb 9 2009, 08:08 PM']Don't suppose you want a SX Pbass with Wizards fitted plus some cash do you?[/quote] and thanks for the offer, but I need that cash Edited February 9, 2009 by phil_the_bassist
