so i had half an hour to kill and was in the area of a music store so in i go
im playing a nice seagull acoustic when this guy with a bass walks in
he's trying to get the store owner to give him like $100 for it
owner says the highest he'll go is $50
long story short i intervene and get it for $80

im confident in saying its a knockoff, bodys too thin, neck plate is stupid tiny, logo decal isnt curvy enough and is badly put on and to top it off theres no serial number
but it plays and sounds so nice
fo $80 i really don't care

Shit, for $80, that thing is a steal!

Better a great bass than a shitty job, I'd say.

Great buy, love the sound of those crappy single coils.

Sexy.

Sweet deal, Sammy! I always loved J basses, even if it is a knockoff. I'd definitely be swapping the pickups out though

Not until you’ve recorded with it. They have a sound all their own, not good and not bad at the same time, plus they should be crazily microphonic.

HOLY SHIT HT THAT's THE COOLEST J-BASS I'VE EVER SEEN!

I LOVE the single coils. LOVE them. I recorded with a shitty old music master that had single coils and it was god. I love those. I mean, you might want to switch them out to get you know, a NORMAL tone, but why would you want that. thing's fucking cool as shit.

Dave Grohl did both during "Jesus Doesn't Want Me for a Sunbeam" unplugged. Well, ok, he just used his feet on the hi-hat and bass drum while playing bass.

HT DON'T SPRAY IT I WANNA KISS THE BASS IT RULES YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
