I have a bass and do not know what it is; Help!

[Plutonium Kenny]

I have a bass and I am trying to find out what brand it is. It has P-style pick ups and it has a Large "B" in fancy script on the headstock. Can someone tell me what it is?

Here are some pics.

Any help is most appreciated.

Ah the old Ebay B-guitars, this is pretty much a nameless Chinese brand mostly sold on Ebay, although on some websites they call em B-Guitars, Ive actually owned one of these in transparent green and it served me fine and for only 99$ on Ebay it was a steal, so if it works for you I wouldnt worry about the brand too much

isn't that a Benavente logo?


:scowl:



No, no it's not but darn it... it looks like one!

Look at these, the basses are not listed here, but the guitars with the EXACT B logo listed as B-GUITARS not BENAVENTE for under $70

And look closely at the B's they dont even look the same on this as they do on the Benavente's

Yes,it comes with a truss rod,tuners and for $3.00 more you get a pickguard.

Thanks everyone. I'm actually trying to sell this for a friend. He got tricked on ebay into getting it thinking it was a P-Bass. He wants to sell it for $75....I'm gonna tell him that's too high.

Well it is a P bass... P style anyway. Thats a P pickup. Surely he wasn't tricked into thinking it was a Fender P It looks nothing like one? Also, the price... Too good to be true is pretty much just that.
