I'm afraid I have to call double bullshít on that! To me the body looks like a Harley Benton MM copy, and the neck doesn't appear to be genuine Fender either.

Looking at the sellers name, I am guessing they brought a couple of dirt cheap basses, smoked a large amount of the stuff the sellers name suggests, bolted a cheap neck to the equally cheap body and decided they had created a completely new idea for the world of bass and priced it accordingly....personally I am looking forward to the next custom jobby, which I am guessing might be a "genuine" Fender Jazz body, mated to a "genuine" MM neck!

Oh dear. A 'Vintage' brand body at best.

How do these people sleep at night? ☹️

[binky_bass]

Indeed, Vintage it is! The oddly thin upper horn and 'thigh to pickguard' bout are giveaways l.

Further research reveals  that Hanlon Custom Guitars UK do exist and Ronnie Hanlon is a Belfast luthier. He clearly did not make any aspect of this Bass from scratch however.

For that price you'd want the name in green felt tip on the headstock.

I'd rather have the green felt tip...
