    If you have an SX, do you have a Fender?

    Any ideas on this bass?.. any advice appreciated

    hm ok I'll take that into consideration.. I know it's not fully real.. but I would have thought the neck was genuine, works out with shipping which is free and a hardcase..at 350 euro..which is cheap.. but worth the money?.. hmm

    Any ideas on this bass?.. any advice appreciated

    where does it mention offset contour body?.. and he says it's a fender body.. MIM or MIA or MIJ i amn't sure. slightly noobish question, but does the decal on the headstock not mean the neck is custom shop fender?..or did they do this with other basses that weren't custom shop? thanks

    Any ideas on this bass?.. any advice appreciated

    the sanding is a pain, and it is 500 dollars..is the price he is asking.. .. any thoughts on wheter the neck is origional?..my fear is the body is cheap..and just the neck is good.. which then it wouldn't be a good buy really for the bucks!

    08 American Standard Precision & Marcus Miller Jazz

    funny..they are the two basses I am debating getting.. one or the other.. I played both.. but maybe I was playing a bad marcus but it didn't have anything near the zang of the passive p and j 08s.. they were actually louder and much nicer tone..maybe the battery was gone I amn't sure Which do...

    to buy in ireland is maybe 1350 to 1400..to buy from the states without shipping is less then 700..savings are just crazy.. being hit for heavy postage AND customs I think I can still buy off ebay.. when they have them back for under 1k..still fantastic savings:)

    Best P-Bass for $1500ish

    yes I agree.. PREFERENCE..but not 400 dollar difference preference.. if they were the same price..fair enough..but they're not and for no reason whatsoever.. and about the yamaha thing.. yeah.. you may have a point.. but a yamaha doesn't sound like a fender

    Best P-Bass for $1500ish

    I seriously can't see how you can justify the extra 400$ for the 62 reissue over the new standard.. may be a bit off topic..but it's bugging me..how can they sell it for so much more.. just because it's a reissue... the hardware and PUs in the standard is actually better!
