Dhgate - Sweet Deal or Scam

Those are fake, but I'm not one to tell you how to spend your money. I'm sure others will be along soon to say the same thing.

 

Just the fact that your link to their page turned into a spam kind of click bait msg, should probably tell you all you need to know about that sight.

I’m not going to say I know anything for sure, but generally “too good to be true”, especially online, turns out to be too good to be true.

 

my .0000042 cents

tis what is is and what it ain't is anything close to the real deal.
It's like a mirage:

on the other hand: It may be a very playable, and after a lot of work, and $$ to get the electronics,hardware, frets and setup (unless you plan of doing it yourself) you'd be 1/2 way to a real deal.

Look into a USA SUB
Or a Sterling Ray Sterling by Music Man

Come on now, isn't the headstock logo appropriation disingenuous?
That they are deceitful from the start should make one pause to ponder the scruples of the forgers to begin with.

It's your $$

 

it’s easy to find good condition ernie ball stingrays for under $900. i had one for sale for $850 for quite a while before it sold. and i got lots of offers of $6-700 too so apparently people think that’s what they’re worth.

 

If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Counterfeiters and scammers rely on the human desire to "get a deal."

 

If you need to ask, “is this too good to be true?” you already know the answer.

 

Chinese fakes are not cool. Get a SBMM Ray34 if you can't afford the real deal. They are superb, and VERY close to the original in quality and craftmanship. The SUB will also be much better than the chinese knock-off.

 

Heck you'd likely get closer with an OLP.
Especially a Tony Leven sig model .

 

On the positive side....bundle those savings with a purchase of 5+!!!!!!!

 

The idea of "copyright" is a nebulous concept in large areas of China. There are even fake Apple stores there selling fake Apple products. DHGate is notorious for pushing counterfeit items.

Cheap Chinese fake

 

Shady

 

Any SUB, SBMM or OLP would be a better purchase.

 

The first time that bass ever sees the USA is the day you open the box.

 

It's a tale as old as time. You want something, but you can't afford it. What's the answer? Easy -- just save up your money and buy the Real McCoy when the time is right. Period.

 

Why not buy one of the $200 Rolex watches they sell, too.

 

I recently saw a youtube video of a person who bought a fake from China. The pole pieces on the pickups were actually silver paint dots.
