The Heads Up Thread

[Hector]

I suspect more than a couple of sessions involving HPW and swearing, concerning the far east manufacturer.

When I look at the D-Series Framus guitars on Thomann, there are only three reviews: only 1 is 5 stars, the other two are 3 Stars. Unfortunately, no one wrote a review, only gave a star rating.

 

[Hardy]

I would not count on a single review, but with the RB Infy it is obviously: without major or any noticeable changes the on stock basses are sold for half the price of the new incoming gear. But maybe I‘m wrong and the updates are yet to be named.

Fortress Masterman gold sparkle. Hipshot tuners? String through body? Is this original?

Bridge, pups and pickguard looks legit. It's a Fortress Flashback not a Masterman... body finish may be aftermarket, tho.

Sure it is a Flashback. But with this body finish...
One could only play it in a glam rock band
This finish could be also original, i have seen them also in blue sparkle finish.

How about this Streamer? Nice cherry wood

Seller needs a lesson in properly stringing an instrument.

Looks like birdseye maple.

Looks like birdseye maple.

Lovely birdseye. Fairly early one too with that wood combo and solid nut. Though that nut doesn't quite look like the original brass nut. The edge is too sharp. Anyhoot... Maybe a '90. @schlobodan Whatcha think?

custom order I think - gotoh tuners thus probably 91

 

[Hardy]

I don’t hunt down any unique Warwick I can afford. But this one looks tempting! Great price for a „new old stock“ Katana NT!

 

[Hardy]

This is NOT a Masterbuilt! Check the last pics for the final proof, it is a Rockbass. The seller installed wooden tuners and a wooden truss rod cover, this does not make a MIG bass. The price is ok, the description is not.
