Mystery bass on Craigslist

[ashtray]

Came across this bass on Craigslist, with a "Y" on the headstock. Neck thru design. Cheap price. I'm not going to chase it bc I have my eye on something else, but was still wondering what this bass was.

Gut feeling tells me its an early 2000's Korean made bass - but that's pretty much just coming from an educated guess. Emphasis on guess.

What do ya think?

Looks pretty sweet! It has a lot of similarities to the stuff made by Cort for other labels, which were made in Korea and they were really nice. I think if the neck is good that could be a really cool bass to upgrade.

For $200, who cares who made it. Grab that beauty!!

I'm betting on more recent Chinese, but I could be wrong. It's a looker and if it plays right it's certainly worth the price.

I agree that it kind of reminds me of a Cort Action bass, but it's not that.

I didn't check it out. (I have a baker's dozen basses already - and a couple more on my want list, so trying not to pick up unneeded "inventory".)

I've noticed stuff has been sitting on Craigslist longer and longer - even things that appear to be good deals. Stuff that is "unknown" - such as this bass - is being passed over by everyone.

Looks like a carvin to me

It's just as well that isn't local to me.
For that price, if the neck is good, I'd grab it.
If something about it isn't good enough,
it looks like a fine upgrade platform.
