I gave up on JMB too. Seems musicians just lose interest as soon as they’ve sent you a message..

Nice one guys.

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1508599330' post='3393224'] It's just another dodgy chinese knockoff, I think we're only just beginning to see the damage that the recent flood of chinese instrument copies will cause when it all ends up on the second hand market. There's mountains of this crap out there, and apart from a select few people on sites like this, almost everyone else looking to buy a used instrument is going to get stung. It means not just that they'll get ripped off but also that they'll end up with crap instruments and give up on trying to play them. The Chinese counterfeit industry is a disaster that needs to be stopped, I find it hard to understand why people are so lax about it. Nobody likes it but nobody is shouting about it either, it's basically criminality on an industrial scale. [/quote] It’s a Tanglewood with a water slide decal mate

Someone should organise a meeting with this “Mick” and make out they’re genuinely interested in buying and genuinely think it’s a legit Stingray, only to get there and give him a right royal telling for being a time wasting scammer.

My conversation with said douche: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/313850-some-is-trying-to-rip-people-off-selling-a-fake/page__pid__3393136#entry3393136

https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/musicman-bass-stingray/1271505097?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ios_social So this guy is trying to rip people off by selling this atrocity as a legitimate Stingray!! I’ve messaged him and notified him on it and he’s adamant it’s real. Conversation: Me: You’re not fooling anyone you know. It’s clear that is NOT a Musicman and is a counterfeit with headstock decal. If you don’t remove the advert or state clearly in it that this is a fake then I’ll be reporting the ad to Gumtree and your account will be banned. Seller: SORRY mate but im ashored its a musicman , by the musians and repair men of the music shop in BURTON ON TRENT, if you feel so strongly about it come round and help me decide. i will be taking it to the DERBY SHOP this week. but if you know better with out seeing it you must know agreat deal. Me: Well they know **** all. You can tell it’s a fake by the clear water slide decal and the shape of the pickup. Not to mention the headstock shape is wrong and lack of serial number. I do know a great deal because I’ve owned several and know a fake when I see one. Try putting it on the Forum Basschat in The for sale section. You’ll get laughed at. Him: Thank you you`ve showed me your worth , i`ll take it to DERBY this week see what they have to say. you`ve been very helpfull. Bloody scammer!!
