Each time I google search random guitars basses or anything. I come across this "t.o.p. jansen custom shop" last night I seen MANY high end "looking" bass guitars for under $500 brand new. Marcus Miller sigs, custom jazzes etc. And they are all about the same price. Is this site legit? Is it just a bunvh of crap thrown together with some junk in a back room of a warehouse somewhere? Whats the deal? I mean honestly. Where are you going to find a BRAND NEW American Deluxe Fender Jazz Bass for $475??? Thats not even "too good to be true" that just seems like a SCAM. If anyone has had any experience with this website/company, please let me know. I mean.. If it is legit, that's great.. My minds telling me no... But my body!! Its telling me yeeaa!!! Lmao

It's a scam. Some people are willing to gamble.
Some get lucky, they'll be happy to tell you how wonderful their basses are. Many more find themselves with junk and are too embarrassed to admit they should've simply bought a Squier or a Fender or an Ibanez or a Music Man, etc.
You can find them on facebook though, and check out the countless great reviews.

They're selling counterfeits. They are probably just the same ones you can get off Aliexpress but for more money.
Thanks for the heads up. I already have my new axe pivked out and musiciansfriend is the ONLY place I can find the one I am looking for. Was just curious about this "top guitars" thing. But you have confirmed my suspicions. I have cheap guitars and some top of the line but I fo not own a Fender yet and I have my eyes on one so.. I think I will stick with it. Thanks very much guys!
Let us know which Fender...some really nice new ones this year: the Japanese Midnight P bass, the American Profesional P and J basses with the rosewood necks, the Performer and the Player Series.
Its the Fender deluxe ash limited natural. Its passive with the red pearl pickguard. Musicianfriend says $824. I am saving up a little here and there. Hopefullu it wont be discontinued before I get enough.
