I came across this brand of replacement parts on E-bay. Does anyone here have any experience with this brand? Thanks in advance

I just know what I read/view in their eBay listings:

Example 1
http://cgi.ebay.com/EDEN-Bass-Guitar-Body-Project-P-Model-Ash_W0QQitemZ140094366735QQcategoryZ41406QQssPageN ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140094366735

* a 4-string P-bass is NOT a standard 22-frets, it is 20
* the neck pocket heel does not appear to be the Fender half oval
* 7/8" is significantly deeper than the Fender standard of 5/8"


Example 2
http://cgi.ebay.com/EDEN-Bass-Guitar-Body-Project-J-Model-Ash_W0QQitemZ140094381163QQcategoryZ41406QQssPageN ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140094381163

* a 4-string J-bass is NOT a standard 22-frets, it is 20
* the neck pocket heel does not appear to be the Fender half oval
* 7/8" is significantly deeper than the Fender standard of 5/8"
* that's Ash???


Example 3
http://cgi.ebay.com/EDEN-Vintage-Tint-Finish-Bass-Neck-Maple-Maple_W0QQitemZ290091371959QQcategoryZ41423QQssPag eNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item2900913719 59

* their standard neck is 21-frets ... but the body is 22???
* not a standard Fender style half elipse heel
* about as close as you can get to copying a Fender visually, but they are somehow getting around the need to be licensed to use the headstock design

From what I've seen being offered on eBay, I'd stay clear of this outfit.

all the best,
