Glad to see this post is losing its a peel. Frankly it was becoming rotten to the core.

Good job I’ve got a thick skin..........😁

I hope nobody is taking the pith?

Sure thing. I’ll take some pics and maybe report back on it when I get it.

My offer was accepted. Personalised orange bass on its way for mr orange.......

I couldn’t help but put an offer in on it. All reviews seem pretty good, it’s a bit unusual, it’s orange and, well, it has my name on the headstock.

Orange. My favourite colour. And being my surname I must surely add it to the collection......

It’s easy to report the item to eBay. open up the item, check for that dodgy advert type I mentioned above and the in the top right corner there are 3 dots next to the shopping basket. Click the 3 dots and one of the options from the drop down menu is to report the item to eBay. I choose “listing practices, fraudulent activity and you suspect the item is fraudulent” and submit. The window looks like the pic below.

This is what the ads always look like. Any like this are fraudulent;

That was my thoughts and I was going to say why would someone fake a mex. Still, now verified as a true Geddy, then it was a bargain as they’re selling for between £500 & £600.

It’s gone already. Hopefully whoever bought it will check provenance on collection.

I think it's genuine. Serial number, signature. bridge and logo look right to me.

Is it?

This is the same account hacker or hackers. They’re a bit obvious as when you go to the listing details they always ask you if you are ready for a deal and if so to email so as to complete the deal off eBay. The email is always the same but the eBay seller ID is different (as the account is has been hacked) but all the listings are similar in content. It seems eBay are relying on the punters like us to inform them of bogus listings. I keep reporting them when they crop up - so should all of us. When I spot another I’ll post a pic of the typical ad content so we can continue to serve the public with our vigilantism!!!!! Hope we don’t report any genuine ones along the way. I’d hate to miss a genuine 62 P bass with a buy it now of £999.

I got mine from him too. He’s certainly a decent seller and it was with me super quick despite coming from Italy.

I’ve got one and at £250 they’re a great addition to the home studio. All the bits work on mine and the apptek port works well with iPad / iPhone guitar / bass simulation apps. They take it from a useful practice amp to a great sim amp.

Surely there is a spurious 1 added at the front of the price?

Somebody posting a Mexican Fender P bass has wisely painted over the serial number to acquire a matching headstock. Or have they? Is it a Mex or not? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263734813613
