Submitted by lee_UK on Mon, 10/31/2005 - 01:15.
how about this one? always beware the shakey photo but this is a real amatuer relicing job, if the photos were any clearer it wouldnt make a tenner.
RRP when new he says is £199, so what did he pay for it? £160? it looks like an indonision which im sure you can still get. look at the price of it.

It's amazing what a description can do:

The Indian and Chinese- made Sunns usually sell for ca £50, but write a load of tosh about "Generally accepted as being superior to the Squire and now quite sought after" and people will swallow anything.
Over £100 with four days to go. Absolutely barking.
What it should say is "generally lied about by sellers on eBay as being superior to Squier..."
Mis-sold to some mug for £117, and yet this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sunn-Mustang-Precision-Bass-By-Fender_W0QQitemZ7365135554QQcategoryZ4713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
is £11.50 with two days to go. As our US chums would say, "go figure".
"Sunn Mustang Bass. Made by F.M.C. (Fender Music Company) in the eighties..."
In the nineties, more like!
"I believe these were made under licence to Fender in India and were the fore runner to the Squier range."
No way. Squier came first.
