    Will report back when they (eventually) arrive. The seller seems to have satisfied customers so here’s hoping.....

    Up for grabs is my superb 1998 Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass, crafted in Japan and in condition belying its 20 years. Purportedly from an era when these basses were a touch better than later Geddy Lee reissues (USA model excepted), this plays brilliantly and sounds superb. Equipped with badass bridge, bound one piece maple neck with black block inlays and a width at the nut of about 38mm, USA vintage pickups, cloth wired with cts pots, vintage open gear tuners and is of course finished in classic black (I don’t think they should anything other than black). It has one minor ding which I’ve tried to capture in pic 8 but it’s been filled with black fender nitro touch up so can barely be seen. It’s had a recent set up with new Ernie Ball slinkys. It weighs in at about 9lbs, has schaller strap buttons on (originals with it too) and comes with a gator case. Will post anywhere. Price includes insured UK shipping. Will ship abroad but will be a bit more. Based in Cheshire so can deliver or meet up within a 50 mile radius of Chester.

    I wonder whether adding a status neck to a mex jazz makes it worth more than the sum of its parts? I mean you can snag a mex jazz for £300 if patient, add a £400 neck, maybe add a set up = about £750......

    I’d never really heard of wish.com but a link took me to the website and being inquisitive I thought I’d see what was on there....a lot of trash........but in amongst the trash were brand new elixir strings for £6 plus £5 shipping. They retail at £40+ so I’ve given it a go to see what I get and when I get them......I’ll report back. https://www.wish.com/product/elixir-nanoweb-14077-electric-bass-strings-4-strings-ultra-thin-coating-steel-stings-045-105-5b3f107867607e1ec272d74e

    It sold once for £800 but has since been resisted. Apparently the bidder was in Japan and had failed to mention that!

    Ah but they wouldn’t “re-glaze” your frets for you, a speciality carried out using brown sugar and executed with a blow torch.

    I saw a Shuker Jaffa orange Jazz, block inlays maple neck with reverse headstock (and correctly oriented tuners) and it was gorgeous. £800.....I should have bought it...... However this thing on eBay is something else. I had to check at least 3 times after seeing those r/h tuners on an upside down lefty neck. Bonkers.....

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163231101548 Just a typical jazz bass with reverse headstock and upside down tuners......

    To cross over from another thread re famous basses, I wonder if this was used on any of the albums by Lou Rawls?

    Glad it doesn’t have a pebble dash finish...

    Well true generosity of spirit would have been for the seller to sell the bass on behalf of TM Stevens for a modest fee, not to exploit his name for a huge mark up.

    I noticed this crappy epiphine dot 335 signed by Noel Gallagher (or anyone who can scribble) for a grand! Note to self; must take shittiest guitar and marker pen to a gig nearby soon... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F232866405310

    Boy that’s a big control cavity.

    I could change this post to "what's your best ever misspelt bargain".

    Alright..... I didn’t see those posts and just thought I’d say my bit. True about spelling mistakes though. I bagged a brand new car “trailor” off eBay with no watchers and no bidders for an absolute bargain and imho it’s just as good as a trailer..... Shame fender is so easy to spell.

    I could list loads of basses on eBay with spelling mistakes and I know auto correct tries its best to tie us in knots sometimes but seriously, if you’re trying to sell a bass with squier on the headstock then don’t advertise it as a squire....... Is it only me? It is cloudy. Maybe I’m feeling grumpy......

    I’ve been newly exposed to this chap’s creations and conversions but did wonder what he’s done to offend (apart from the obvious weirdosity of his creations). Looking at his eBay feedback he can’t be doing too much wrong as he’s achieved 1583 feedback score all of which are positive. I wouldn’t mind that score for trading instruments.

    Is it 4 or 8 ohm?
  19. vinorange
    Glad it was closed. I sent a link of the original ad to the seller. I’m sure that had something to do with it being withdrawn......
  20. vinorange
    Oh really. Glad I raised it. I have reported it as suspect to eBay but people are bidding. Maybe this post can help a fellow basschatter who may be bidding.....

    At first glance this looked like a genuine ad by someone selling something they knew nothing about. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F362414758639 However, since it’s a lovely select USA jazz I thought I’d back check and the same photos were used to sell the same bass on 27th July in the US of A. The seller claims not know much about it as it was his uncles piece. I can’t attach the completed listing but search completed items with fender Jazz amber burst and it comes up. So, as it’s located in the Isle of Skye, cash on collection, is it genuine or is it a scam (although I can’t think what scam it would be for cash on collection)? Oh yeah and they created their account with a flurry of small purchases on 6th August. Me smells a rat. Maybe. Maybe it’s an attempt to boost the flagging visitor numbers to the Isle of Skye now it rains there every day again. I'm a bit confused......

    Closed for £23. For a mag 250 head and a trace 410 cab. Surely a bargain for old school, DI allergic bassists....

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273375532572 Sorely tempted to have a day out in the lakes and bring home an Ashdown head and Trace 410 cab. An hour to go though.......

    Would it be worth me noting that there's a mandarin just appeared for sale in the forum?

    Honestly I'm grapeful that the post getting everyone's juices flowing.
