Been dicking around on Alibaba. fuck me they have some nice looking Frankenstein basses.
I thought that place just carried counterfeit electronics parts and possibly opium.

Counterfeit guitars replete with logo. If I ever bought a total counterfeit I'd remove the bogus watermark and replace it with my own.I thought that place just carried counterfeit electronics parts and possibly opium.
Alibaba manufacturers don't make "relics". They make it so shiny you just know the Geiger counter is going to tictictic until your hair falls out and your eyes are bleeding.I try to stay away from "vintage" gear if I don't know the seller really well.
I like to think I could spot a phony but some people put a lot of effort into ripping you off.
I've had one from each column from Adibaba.Those basses are too much of a gamble IMO. For every good story there’s ten not so good when it comes to Alibaba basses.
Agreed. I have a Retrovibe Rickenfaker from Retrovibe in the UK - they had those ran off as a special batch for them, slightly different features than the stock ones available on Alibab through seller "chowny". $293 USD for a Rickalike But strange pickup arrangement - a huge MM clone below, split P bass above. The MM clone pickup is solidly good. My main complain was the cheap pots - had to redo all the pots and switches.The thing is, about 7 out of 10 basses are made in China these days. Another one out of the ten are made in Indonesia. That leaves the rest of the world's countries to build the rest of them.
The only difference between a Chinese bass that you buy off Alibaba and one that you buy in Guitar Center is the lack of quality control through some sort of American agent.
Damn!! I like the brand name "Krait". Is that like crate . . of fruit. Ah, hollow body krait is fruitless krait.Fruitless lol.
"I play fruitless bass"
No truss rod in the neck :/I think they should offer an immigrant signature bass. But instead of a signature, it should be imi's ass LOL

It was a bad start to a floppy wood joke. The Adi Babas have a truss.They could incorporate some medical hardware from his leg for a truss rod.
Plug it into a speaker out on an amp, the pickups will be smoking hot in seconds. OR the amp will.Also should have a way to vape weed.
But scroll up to the one that I linked which is the Lee sklar Signature fruitless semi-hollow bass. Warwick some ungodly amount of money like $5,000 for that and they don't offer it in a 5 string format. To pay $400 off Ali Baba and then maybe another 300 to get it playable is almost nothing.
