    I Found it on the CL !!! - Thread



    Not sure which is funnier...

    The "It's worth it's weight in gold" headline...

    or the fact it is signed by EDDY Van Halen

    That looks like a Baretta 2 body with the wrong neck on it.

        That body's no firewood, it's actually one of the better bodies Kramer had.

        I took mine and took a strat template to it, cutting off the extra bit off the horns, then with a rattail rasp filed the cutaways a little rounder. So I know from the bare wood exposed it's solid basswood, with a true lacquer finish.

            YES

            Do I misread the ad, or does the guy say the only thing missing is the middle pickup?

            And it comes with a hardshell Kramer case.

                  Yeah well, maybe the guy posting the ad doesn't really know much about Van Halen and I have seen Ed's autograph that can look like "Eddy," so...

                      It's worth its weight in something...

                      Solid (B)asswood...almost an oxymoron.

                        Basswood isnt bad, it's like alder but not as thunky as ash.

                        It's a great deal for $350

                          I've never been impressed with it; it's light in weight, soft in structure (dings easily, unlike a solid piece of say, Maple or Ash), and I've had friends rip Floyd studs out of it doing an everyday pull-up with the bar...not a fan. I know EVH swears by it these days, and so does Steve Vai.

                          Northern Ash can be a little on the thunky side (in a good way, I think), but Swamp Ash is killer...

                          As for the listing...I'd want to see a picture of the real thing...gotta love the "brother died in 03" if it was indeed added for the extra grief-guilt factor...

                            I sure wouldn't lie about somethinng like that...

                            BTW, most MIJ Fenders are Basswood except where specified otherwise as being Ash on natural finished models and Alder on some MIJ sunburst finished models, but it gets very confusing...

                            For instance...

                            Fender Japan uses Alder and Ash on basses with USA Vintage pickups. The models usually have the suffix "US." For example JB62-US 3TS. That would indicate Jazz Bass 1962 RI, the US means it has USA pickups. And it SHOULD have an alder or ash body. Those with Japanese pickups has basswood and the model name has no US suffix...

                            For more more information, ask someone who gives more of a shit because tone is tone...Some basswood has it, some alder has it, as well as ash. Some wood sounds like shit regardless of it being ash, alder or basswood...

                            Also, some people seem to indicate Japanese Basswood is different in that it sounds and looks a lot like good alder...


                            Hmmm...

                              AND it is true that cheap basswood dings very easily as on something like a Squire made in indonesia...It's also very noticeably light in weight...

                              But high quality basswood is difficult to distinguish from alder...

                              Alder
