so....we're all agreed. It's a fake! Let hope the buyer isn't a BCer and doesn't try and sell here - I've seen BCers on the this site flogged for a lot less

[quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1342362147' post='1733705'] If the scenario were real, I would suspect that the "landlord" were labouring under the belief that he had a right to retention of property until the debt owing by the "tenant" were satisfied. However, that's not the case, and it's why any contract of letting will have a requirement for a sum in money to be held as a security bond, against such an event as non-payment. As suggested, the acting of the "landlord" is not theft, as he has not formed the intention to personally deprive the owner of the property of that property, but he has deprived the owner of the use of the property, and could be made subject to a claim in damages for so acting. And, given that the landlord has no right in title to pass, the property could be recovered from any buyer. The buyer would, in such circumstances, have a right to bring an action in damages against the seller (the landlord). But, it's all cock and bull. That bass was made yesterday, somewhere in the Far East. [/quote]I rest my case m'lud!

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1342359721' post='1733668'] It's not a Highway 1 and I doubt it's even a fender. This is a Highway 1 [url="http://www.infographic.com/fender/pdimages/HW1PrecisionHBR_md.jpg"]http://www.infograph...isionHBR_md.jpg[/url] The fact that the bass doesn't even belong to the seller hasn't put people off has it? Sitting at 17 bids now. [/quote] actually, I don't buy the lodger story at all. Its a ruse to sell a fake bass. Some sucker thinks he's getting the deal of a lifetime but just buying a very expensive fake. The 'landlord' doesn't have to be responsible for a Fender rip off - no lodger's gonna turn up!! Thinks about it...who's forget their Fender bass when doing a runner?....l it's probably a 'Vintage Precision'

mind you - disregarding the morals involved here - what is this bass?.....

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1342355144' post='1733608'] But the seller is trying to sell someone else' property. Isn't that the same thing? [/quote]def

if its real, then the lodger better have owed a lot of back rent - whats a 1966 P worth in that condition £2000 + ? Seen just the plates go for over £100

[quote name='lettsguitars' timestamp='1342354254' post='1733586'] It clearly states that it has been stolen from a lodger who owes money. The lodger does not owe the seller a bass guitar and I would hope that this is not legal. [/quote]i reckon your completely right. But I was just wondering about the bass itself.

Its a 66/67 serial I think. the neck plate looks real - bit it's the only thing that does...
