kevbass Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Anyone wants to start a project p bass with a bit of a vintage vibe should nab this looks in good shape [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cobra-Japan-Lawsuit-P-Bass-Style-Sunburst-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ190158801604QQihZ009QQcategoryZ118984QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cobra-Japan-Lawsuit-...VQQcmdZViewItem[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Think I'd be put off by the $90 postage to the UK, and by the customs charge it'll attract if it goes over £18. Also, it's not Japanese, I don't think. I've seen a few guitars & basses with this maple board/mahogany neck/pointy black trc combination (I actually had a thinline Tele copy like this) and they're not-very-good Korean knockoffs. I'd bet a kidney the body's plywood under the solid-black-at-the-edges sunburst, too. Sorry to pee on your fireworks, Kev, but there are loads of better vintage P copies than this around. Jon.

Often tempted myself, until I realise already got enough P-Basses This one looks a bit better to me [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150167246222&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=005[/url] Or even this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160164879448&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=006[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon.[/quote] No fair play each to their own opinion I say. I still reckon its worth a punt for a p bass project though. I saw that columbus precision on the bay, I wonder what the reserve has been priced at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 A tidy looking Satellite copy here: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230178780393"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=230178780393[/url] Those tuners'd have to go, mind.
