First time I've seen the back of one of those. Very surprised to see it has bolt on necks.

It looks lovely, and I'm no expert but the headstock, (in it's colour and in the way the apex of the scroll curve is centred between the D & G string posts) is very much like a Jim Deacon PB62. (or even a re-laquered Squier Affinity) I hope it isn't as you'll not recoup much of that £365.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1337427301' post='1659737'] There's no way to tell the guy to withdraw his bid, is tnere ? I wonder if I posted a question to the buyer "that neck looks misaligned, can you tell me if you found it a problem ?" that he'd actually make the Q&A public ? [/quote] Done it when I spotted it mate, wasn't expecting a reply and didn't get one. Didn't bother reporting it to eBay (been there before) they don't give a crap, they get their fees that's all they care about.

Working fine with Firefox and Chrome. Great job on the quick fix!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1337189157' post='1656951'] Misaligned? It's in the next bleedin' county. [/quote] lol On the plus side though, it is hand painted, the paint is "matte" and it doesn't show any brush marks The poor lad's from Hartlepool.

Look at that G- String!

[quote name='Grant' timestamp='1336207155' post='1642403'] I fancy having a punt on this: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Precision-bass-Jim-Deacon-custom-zebra-pickups-and-full-set-up-/190674765505?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c651a06c1"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item2c651a06c1[/url] It looks really good for the price and the seller seems quite knowledgable. Does anyone have any experience of these basses? [/quote] Yeah I bought one minus its electrics off of eBay for £33, Stuck some Squier wiring and pup's in it, it sounded ok and felt sturdy enough (Solid alder body) I never really liked the feel of the neck. Anyway the neck pocket is the right size for a Mighty Mite replacement if you so wish. Trouble with this one is... You can buy brand new and be covered by warranty for £125.00.

[quote name='convair' timestamp='1334811724' post='1621598'] Not the best photos I'm sorry to say but these are my brusts I don't know if the two Tbirds count as Sunbursts however I'm sure my FG Ric doesn't [/quote] Envy (drooling)

I had the same problem, all I did was fill the problem hole up with superglue, left it for a day then re-introduced the screw, I've removed the scratchplate a few times since and it's still holding fine.

Ok seems everyone is a bit shy, so I'll start with mine, It's nowt special but it plays nice enough. Squier body, Mighty Mite neck & scratchplate, Wilkinson pickup & machine heads. BB009 Hi mass type Bridge. It still has the bog standard Squier pots, they work fine, but will be replaced in time.

Ok!

[quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1332436287' post='1588405'] Wrong, the first two notes are up an octave. If you can't hear that i really suggest you do some work on ear training.

I was just trying to help the lad out. not trying to be a smart arse! So you can keep your ear training suggestions to yourself!

Here's it tabbed too G--------|-------|-----------7-9-12-14-| D--------|-------|-----7-8-10-----------| A--------|-------|-8-10-----------------| E---5----|-1-----|---------------------|

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1330527211' post='1558872'] Looks like it WAS a nice bass. [/quote] Yeah it was ok to look at but I never liked the neck and the pups were pretty flat sounding. I was gonna upgrade it with a Mighty Mite neck and some new pups, [s]but her in doors[/s] err I mean I couldn't be arsed.

[quote name='chaypup' timestamp='1330521819' post='1558749'] I emailed him and pointed out that what it was. He replied saying he's relist with the correct title. [/quote] Good man! But the thing is, he knew exactly wot it was when he originally listed it! This pic was taken for my eBay auction, which he won.

[quote name='mikegatward' timestamp='1330511140' post='1558457'] Not condoning what he's clearly mis-selling but its' ironic that he has feedback from so many happy, albeit unsuspecting customers [/quote] True enough mate his feedback seems to stand up! Some of his auctions might have been the genuine article, but the chances are he's got away with this many times before. Like I said in my original post, I've seen a few of his other auction items that didn't look right and were passed off as Squiers. As you're no doubt aware Fender/Squier style Basses and Guitars are copied by so many cheap manufacturers these days. That's why he's "relicing" (for want of a better word) them so heavily, it's a distraction. Get the sander out, strip the headstock logo re-lacquer a Fender one in it's place and cast your net out for the wide-eyed unaware. I've still heard nowt off of eBay.

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1330471183' post='1558173'] Withdrawn, but not pulled by ebay. I hope nobody took him up on his call for offers of around £200. [/quote] Me too mate! Hopefully, he's pulled the auction due to too many awkward questions, as opposed to some outlandish offer by some poor unsuspecting young un. Maybe he's a member here and saw this thread! I really don't see the attraction to his tool shed massacre jobs, they just don't look like an authentic aged/battered bass.

I know this bloke has been highlighted on here for his diabolical 'relics' before and I've seen a few of his basses and thought to myself "That's not a Squier!" Well now here's the definite proof. You see I sold him this last month [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Squier-Precision-P-Bass-guitar-vintage-road-worn-relic-Squire-Precision-/270923586260?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f144ddad4"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Squier-Precision-P-Bass-guitar-vintage-road-worn-relic-Squire-Precision-/270923586260?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3f144ddad4[/url] It is not a Squier by any stretch of the imagination, it's a Jim Deacon PB62. I've reported him to eBay but I'm not holding my breath. Please people feel free to message him telling him that you don't believe it's a genuine Squier. Hopefully he'll pull the auction. God knows how many people he's scammed in the past with his hideous tool shed mutations.
