For 2 bones, its fun.
I suspect the followers of Chairman Mao are involved.
Ended, well what you know about dat ? I sent the seller a little note informing him of the bird's lack of pedigree. Huh. He didn't even thank me.
I belive it's a Tokai, what would you think? :-\

Says it's a Gibson, in the heading & in the text...
"Slanted bass, like eyes of builder"
caveat emptor
That's the real deal - the nine Dollar note, as I live and breathe...
(I could always offer 'em three three's in change... ;D)
Another bass from the factory of Mr. Ug Lee.
Tokai's are actually built better than this.
This is a cheap Chinese knock off. I've seen adds from Chinese builders that will offer to make you any Gibson Clone you want. Some of the guitars look convincing on an Epiphone QC scale - but most of the basses look like bastard mutant offspring (like this "Slant Bass").
Here's an ad for a Dave Grohl knockoff:

"Specifications:
Gibson nameplate on headstock"
Well, that is a careful way of putting it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
