binky_bass Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 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!

Deedee Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Oh dear. A 'Vintage' brand body at best. How do these people sleep at night? ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Indeed, Vintage it is! The oddly thin upper horn and 'thigh to pickguard' bout are giveaways l. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited May 29, 2020 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 For that price you'd want the name in green felt tip on the headstock. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
