Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 You might recall this 'brand' from ebay. it looks like the purchaser has decided to unload their bass, and the value of the conversion appears to have had a negative effect on the price. https://www.cashconverters.co.uk/shop/music-tv--video/musical-instruments/guitars--string-instruments/bass-guitar/050000085678 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 All the control knobs are the same colour so I don't think this a genuine PCGC unfortunately, probably one of those cheap copies from AliExpress. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 Could be - I would expect the tuners to be a bit more wonky if it was genuine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Ah yes, that's the early period PCGC dated August 2019, before he went really crazy with odd knobs, crazy angled tuners and pickups. As an investment, well it has the sharpie logo but not much else to commend it other than the realistic price. Avoid! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On further inspection it seems like the neck and body might even be from the same bass which definitely rules it out as the genuine article 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Seriously though imagine walking into crack converters and seeing one of Mark's basses just sitting there, you'd have to give it a quick play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that would date it to being prior to that infamous night out in Langney where something happened behind the pizza place that was to be every bit as transformative as Dylan's 1966 motorcycle accident. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think *he* should buy the bass so he can convert it a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
