What is this bass?

Hi,

I've seen this advertised:

Sorry about the rubbish picture - It's all that was offered in the original ad.

Advert description of bass:

"Long scale Active bass

Canadian Maple & Mahogany Thru Neck

Ebony Fingerboard

Arched Spalted Maple Body

Walnut Veneer & Mahogany back

Diecast Black Nickel Bridge

Fitted with EAST RIVER pickups

Natural Open Pore Finish"

Anybody know what it is and how much it might be worth?

Thanks,

Steve

That is a Hudson: Project bass. (or whatever the retailer who purchased them wanted to name them)

I used to own one, made in the far east by cort, its a copy of the curbow but with nice looking woods and they slap the name Hudson on it, which is actually a brand created by Cranes music in Cardiff.

They are pretty decent basses as long as you get them cheap enough! I got mine for about £210 new, and that was a six string one. The finish was a little rough, but it looked the danglys. Balance is not great when sitting down.

Could it be a Tanglewood Canyon 2?

I've just had an email from the seller. Apparently it's a Tanglewood Canyon 3 and he wants £350 for it.
