Hahaha! --well, that's pretty funny! --But really folks, I was asking for SOLID info!
Well, that's a pretty nice Bass, --for a complete Rip-off in design...did Alembic sue them for this? --And still, it doesn't come close for quality. Look, I'm honestly trying to get some solid answers here...please, O.K.?
I get it, you're trying to sell this and want to keep hope alive.
It has much in common with the Tobias Standard made in the 1990's along with dozens of others.
By solid do you mean one's that make your bass more valuable? You seemed so non confrontational for the posts that were flattering, what's changed? Those are all solid answers. Not being an American bass is not a slam on the bass.
Well, I did ask for REAL answers before you posted. I'm sorry, but you came off as rude and ignorant to me. I checked...and you're new here, and have never sold anything. By "Solid" answers I meant something that IDENTIFIES the Bass...not some munky "I have a vegue Memory that this is some Import". I've had many very experienced People come up say. "Yeah, it's amazing, but I'm stumped", and that's fine...I've been playing onstage and have been checking out Basses 45 years...and I'M stumped. I was just looking for info. This bass was made in the USA, just as I've posted...for you to compare it to a Korean-made cheap Ibanez is...well, rude to say the least.

Ummm... Just sayin...
You asked for assistance, any at all. Several suggestions/possibilities were ventured, and some seemed helpful, or at least intriguing.
Dluxe posted some photo examples in response to a (somewhat dismissive) request from you, and you derided them. Niiiice.
Then, when TrustRod calls you on that, you light them up for posting the pics Dluxe posted.
Plus, on top of that, the pics do accurately answer your request...
You are then shown 3, each of which feature nice woods, nice components, good assembly, and considered design items much like yours, and, again, you are dismissive and somewhat derisive.
Yes, you have a pretty bass. Yes, it appears to be well made. And, yes, a lot of peeps here think you may want to ID it for a later sale. Yes, I have also alighted on a piece of recent kit of unknown provenance and posted related query's, but I was at least receptive to all input without such wanton dismissals and ungrateful attitude. I will abide, in the quest for enlightenment.
Good luck with your bass.

No, I asked him to show me an import that looks like my Bass. neither one did.
Again, one poster gave you pics, the other called you on your response to the first guy. Also,
This is not a request for a "like looking bass", this is a request for "basses like this one", which the pics did fine.
Please define "import bass that looks like mine". Quilted maple, gold hardware, active PUs, luthier made, hand-made... Which attributes do you seek to duplicate?

Well I thank you for your personal judgements and condemnations of me. Please do not feel hypocritical for lashing out at me personally while at the same time demanding only documented praise be spoken about your used bass you are trying to sell for well above what a known brand would cost. In your anger you may have missed it wasn't me comparing it to an Ibanez, I was the one who pointed out it was using the high end Sperzel tuners. You also accepted my comment that it looks like an imported Tobias bass.
Good luck with your sale, I'm sure you can find someone who shares your valuation.
Tip: Don't call potential customers Munky's.
