  1. Kudos for keeping the Squier brand on it and not "upbranding" it to a fake Fender!
  2. My baloney-ometer has kicked into action. So, it's not a 1970's then. Maybe not such great build quality, then. A variant on "the wife" angle. Good attention to detail there. Bar the knobs? What lawsuit?
  3. Yes, of course; not for me, this one, though.
  4. Much uglier than a Gibson, too...
  5. Mine was a passive one - I bought it new. I think the active came later.
  6. I used to have one back in the 80s; one of our sets was wearing black and red, so I had mine with a red strap.
  7. The hairpin truss rod system is great; the only issue is when people assume it works like a Fender.
  8. Well, it interested you enough to reply! 🙂
  9. Is there a Rickenbacker one? 🙂
  10. You do know that's referring to the brand of beer, not the bass guitar, right? 🙂
  11. This is a Sterling by Music Man, though, so their equivalent of Squier by Fender, right?
  12. That's the first Genesis song I liked.
  13. (It may be, though, that the screw has simply become loose and is letting the cog ride up and disengage, so if it's still under the tuner cover, it'd just be a matter of unscrewing the 4 corner screws, tightening it up, and putting the cover back on.)
  14. I really wish ebay had a block/ignore facility.
  15. Ah, the wit and humour of ebay sellers who think they're the first to come up with a hilarious posting... What next - an air guitar? (Or maybe an air plectrum?!?)
  16. It reminds me of the Columbus, which was my first bass. Too far and anti-lockdown for me to collect. However, I think I have one of those generic Japanese tuners in my parts box, so could contribute that to help get it up and running.
  17. At £400, I think I'll give it a miss. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kay-Generation-Series-Vintage-Thru-Neck-Bass-Guitar-Korean-Late-1970-s/393102807185
  18. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XMAS-SALE-Custom-Yamaha-Neck-4-String-Bass-Guitar/383910097932
  19. Absolutely! Though the thread was initially raised regarding a musical equipment sales scam, it turns out that these are not the only the actual/alleged issues at hand. IMHO, the more who contribute to this with actual first-hand experiences and police/legal cases, the better.
  20. Chumlee...
  21. Something smells about that ad - oh, it's from Cologne...
  22. PayPal Goods/Services; not bank transfer or PayPal Gift/Friends. If you can do face-to-face, then you know you’ve got it. Socially distanced demo is more of an issue.
  23. Them Jaydees are big!
  24. Maybe it could double-up as a zapper!
  25. ...but it sure is kindof cool. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MENSFELD-Ironcross-electric-guitar-Seymour-Duncan-Schaller-Floyd-Rose-and-tuners/224241866897
