Bassassin Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Very rare piece of 80s JapCrap, that is - it's been listed before & was mentioned in the JapCrap Spotting thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=7473&view=findpost&p=530131"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=530131[/url] He's dropped the price a bit but it's still pretty dear IMO, shame it's not the neck-through version.

Mr. Foxen Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Cuh, that guy again, he pulls listings if they don't make the bid he's after. And scores everything that comes up in Crack converters etc. Quote

It looks really really nice in the flesh, HOWEVER, there is a kink in the neck that just cannot be fixed, Steve pratted around with the truss rod a hell of alot and still didnt really play very nicely. The pickups seemed a little unbalanced and the action was pretty high at the dusty end. I would AVOID. Quote

P+J is pretty much always gonna be unbalanced. Quote
