Ebay fender?

Although I still don't see it (I actually don't think the logo is off, and it looks like a GREAT inlay job, which a decent bit would have to be reworked on the headstock to outdo old inlays unless it was just a decal), but send me the user's name and I'll ask him if it was that bass. What you describe has happened on a tone of basses, and at every point the the red wood shows up it would have to be and protruding depths to really get it to stand out like that.

So yeah, shoot me what you know of this guy, and I'll verify, or get him to verify it. Thanks.

 

i have sent that off, thanks!

 

i mean, haven't heard back from the guy you sent me the info on.

 

I figure if it is something else, then the headstock probably has been messed with.

 

edit: well, definitely some weird stuff happened at the montego time frame

Ok, so I just talked with Philip Kubicki, and no he doesn't thing it was done by Fender either. He said kinda looks like the fender plastic they had, but other than that prototypes were mostly destroyed. So what can I say? I am not sweating what was put in, actually the bass is pretty slammin except the neck pickup either needs a new battery or wiring help.

Fenderhutz, may be what that other dude was saying, maybe not, but did I read he stained the bass red?

 

I still buy the japanese thing quite a bit.

However, I took a look for vantage and aria. Look at the stringers on the back of them. Almost all I have seen have strings just like the vantage you posted, thicker and closer to each other. I haven't seen any others, so if you got pics wither they match up, I would love to see it.

this is kinda close though. (sorry I am still talking about this, I really would like to know whtat this stemmed from. Teh beauty is, it weighs like 5 freakin pounds!)
