holy shit, I was scrolling their horrible looking website thinking 'perhaps it's a 58 or something, seems legit', but no

What do they think they are achieving by listing something like that. Even 30 seconds research shows you can get relatively clean 1970 teles for less.

as much as i'd like to say it's a prank....... it's CME..... they're probably dead serious. as much as we like to praise them for their cool youtube videos, i have noticed the store tends to over-estimate the worth of gear. not quite as bad as normans rare guitars but still pretty bad

the worst part is those hagstrom basses are amazing. i played a fretless short scale hagstrom a few years ago and the thing ripped. add some fuzz and you have a synthy sub bass monster.

Argh, that's appalling...

A friend is restoring one of these Hagstrom six string basses that got properly stumpy-ed and doing a great job, I'll have to see if he'll post it here when it's done

It looks kinda like someone tried to turn that Hagstrom into Magnatone Hurricane!

Yep.
But for €250 I think it isn't TOO bad.
If anyone wants to go for it...:

Pop is the most wonderful music – as long as it's played with three basses, a string section, and two french horns going "Vroop-Vrooo".
