Seems legit.

So much is so wrong with that thing. I really wish "consumers" weren't so gullible to swallow this crap.

Well, at least it doesn't actually say MusicMan....

C'mon. The Back/Side material alone is worth it...

There's no picture of the head stock front. It could say MusicMan on it. Many of the Chinese fakes DO have the brand name on them (also fake of course).

Looks pretty identical to a couple of fake MMs posted here within the last month or so.

I wish all my basses were that lovely color ...

Regardless of the brand name they list, these are definitely counterfeits and should be reported to ebay.

 

[BooDoggie]

I reported it to eBay as a counterfeit item. It should be obvious that if it says made in USA on it and it ships from China that it is a fake. I'll be interested to see what kind of response I get from eBay...

Yeah, I also report these fakes whenever I can. The problem is they'll eventually enter the secondary market and someone might buy a used one thinking its the real thing.

Where can I get one? At a U.S. Customs auction.
