Max Normal Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Can't believe these apparently well made and unique handmade basses are so well priced (check out his other items too). I believe Lucasz Chyla is a member here. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165312153623?hash=item267d5f4817:g:UREAAOSwwIxhwjGx Maybe not everything on ebay is a rip-off.......

Dan Dare Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looks nice, but remember that's only a starting price. I doubt anyone will end up buying it for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The alignment of the strings with the pole pieces is interesting... Other than that, looks like a well made bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched a few of his basses, they seem to go for the start bid when they sell and a lot of the time the auction ends with no bids. I quite like the look of the Warsaw 30" 5er strung with a high C he had up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigguy2017 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 It looks nothing like the other Chyla basses, has no logos, serial or makers mark and has Harley Benton pickups... hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Harley Benton now use Roswell pickups is more accurate, however I take your point, they are cheap. Never heard them myself so I can't make a comment more than that. Here is the bass in question being played, but you can't hear its natural tone because it's swamped with effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yeah you can buy Roswell pickups separately, the guys at Thomann/Harley Benton stopped using Wilkinson pickups as there's a lot of fakes on the market and they couldn't guarantee the genuine article. Until I watched this I had no idea there were fake Wilkinson pickups! The Chyla guy always uses cost effective hardware, presumably to keep the final price down which is sensible IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one of the Harley Benton double-cut Juniors and it's a great guitar to modd. I swapped out the bridge and lowered/dressed the frets as the were a tad high. But I really like the P90 splittable 'bucker and the quality of the pots so I'm keeping them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It does look wal like, with more of a cutaway and not the electronics. Although a wal without the logo on the neck would be a lot cheaper!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
