ash Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) I like the look of this - don’t know if the price is good or anything about the company but it looks good....for a relic type bass. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluesman-Vintage-Deville-Bass-Guitar-With-Fender-Hard-Case/324465110740?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Edited January 26, 2021 by ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I don't do relics, especially unconvincing ones - that upper bout? Eurgh! And why couldn't he rout the pickup sockets to be the same shape as the pickups? Ah well ... each to his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 For that price you could probably get a new one that wasn't so worn out! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 I take your point about the pickup rout but I like the overall design, different take on your classic Fender. I would not go anywhere near this at that price. To like the look of something is very different from wanting to purchase it however. 13 minutes ago, Happy Jack said: I don't do relics, especially unconvincing ones - that upper bout? Eurgh!

Bassassin Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Apart from the ruined finish & janky-looking headstock that's quite cool. Oh - and the price, an enterprising bodger could knock that up as a bitsa for under £300, no sweat. And route the pickups a bit better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troubadour Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 +1 on liking the look of it. Watching the video the seller refers to, the pickguard is optional. Without it the pickups get chrome rings. So the routing is explained if not excused! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass reminds me of those ‘Robin Ranger’ branded US/MIJ basses you used to see in US Bass Player magazine years ago. I liked the look of those too.
