Fan Fret Bass

No maker name on the ad  - is it a Mayones Setius Bass??...

That's what the headstock seems to indicate. However, nothing in Google images for a bass version, or on the Mayones website. The eBay ad mentions Cort .

Lol I was wondering at that myself

I trawled for more pictures and found this link

Looks like this might well be some form of knock off then with a logo. Starts with the description '4 string....'.

And then there’s the price.

Same seller has this curiosity in their sold listings:

In the event those were genuine Rick HiGains stuck in there, those would cover 2/3 of the asking price.

Apropos of whatever, I'm really tempted by that fan-fret, it looks stunning.

I emailed him asking about the weight and the make and he replied - 9lbs. 
Make of that what you will but it certainly looks nice.

I offered £175 - I wouldn't risk any more with it being a copy  but was rejected. It does look nice though.

These are just cheap Chinese knock offs. Probably worth swerving.

I particularly like 'Size: 40 inches"

[edstraker123]

Think it went for £300

That's the great thing with individual bridge pieces, you can set them to exactly your preferred string spacing. 

His preference was, "All over the feckin' place!"
