What do you think about that bass?

Looks fishy to me, but I may be wrong

Seller says, that only tuners and pickquard are non-original.

it's fake... look at the headstock it says Fender
Bridge is way too far into body... Yep, it's a fake!

And the "motto" from Ibanez Roadstar headstock :/

DEFINITELY NOT a Fender. Do a quick image search and compare it to an original- There's nothing on that bass looking like a real Fender. Looks like a very cheap fake

Well it is..."The Ultimate Expression Of Craftsmanship"...it says so right there on the headstock.

It should be
"ultimate expression of craftmansh*t" I think

But I needed to be sure, the price is quite low ...

I like the magic marker handcrafted logo

I think they mistranslated "craftiness".

I wonder what the scale length really is...

Hi.

With my limited experience I'd say that's a fake, and a rather bad one at that.

That doesn't mean that it's a bad bass though, might be a player.

Looks like quite a recent one too, so no "vintage vibe" extra either.

244€ with time to go=cheap? Really?

I paid 170€ for a Matsumoku short scale a while ago and even that may have been a on the high side.
Sure looks cool though .


Just my 0.02€

Its cheap for an old american fender... But it's not american fender so I'd prefer to buy Ibanez Roadstar for that money - they are great
