[quote name='ashevans09' post='690260' date='Dec 20 2009, 11:14 PM']*grabs popcorn* Shockwave?[/quote] [quote name='uptoo' post='690351' date='Dec 21 2009, 05:00 AM']What questions to ask. Asked not criticism.[/quote] People have the right to be cautious and ask appropriate questions of a seller; especially someone who registers on a forum and immediately attempts to sell an expensive item. The fact that the OP's details of the item is, to say the least, 'limited' and that English appears to be the second language, from past experience, these are indicators of a 'potential' scam. If a seller's responses to questions via PM are equally shonky, why shouldn't people post the replies to make others aware of a [u]potential[/u] scam. You'd have to be a right FW to imagine that when dealing with online purchases from private individuals the term, 'innocent till proven guilty' applies. Forums are littered with tales of people trying to bag bargains and letting their heart rule their head; there is at least one active case at the minute on the Warwick forum where someone didn't follow the basic rules and the person selling said item has then tried to do it on this forum as well! IF this seller is genuine then he needs to get a few more details up and tbh if he's from the Far East/Thailand he's gonna need to find a very trusting first trading partner! <edited for spelling; that's my CDO coming through... OCD is so untidy! >

[quote name='Machines' post='690080' date='Dec 20 2009, 07:43 PM']I cannot say for or against this sale being dodgy, however I can say the seller is not posting from a UK registered IP. My advice: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveat_emptor[/url][/quote] Is it possible to cross reference the IP address with a recent user also selling a 'suspect' bass that was flagged up here and on the Warwick forum? Failing that is it possible for the Admin's to liaise with Florin over on the Warwick forum to give him the heads up on the IP address; firstly to see if it matches a recent 'possible' transgression or to see if it matches with any IP's registered on the Warwick forum... all in the name of e-safety and 'bass-love'. If the user(s) in question are genuine then surely they would actively encourage/support validation of their integrity!

[quote name='bow' post='690063' date='Dec 20 2009, 07:29 PM']Are you having a mass clearout ?[/quote] It comes around with startling regularity when you are as fickle as me. In all honesty though, I've got a couple of basses that I'd never sell (until recently my Warwick Ltd Ed was one of those but the weight means I'll never gig it... dodgy shoulder) and other basses will come and go as the mood suits.

Selling to make way for an incoming bass. Not sure of the age but I'll check the serial number against the Zon record and update. I'm almost certain it doesn't have a truss rod (though I am aware that some have the rod and that you have to remove the neck to get at the adjuster... don't fancy doing that at this point). As you may well be aware the Zon graphite necks are set-up to not require tweaking and this one is spot on with a nice low action with no noticeable fret wear. The neck is very slim and shallow and lives up to the advertising claim to be the 'Jazz bass for the 90's'. It has Bartolini pups and a retro-fitted Bartolini pre. The bass is in very good condition with one small ding through to the wood and a little chip in the headstock but no nasty bucklerash etc. Controls are Vol Pan and stacked bass/treble. I've just had the jack socket replaced as it had an intermittent drop out when the jack plug/lead moved about, all now good. Any questions just PM me and I'll get back to you pretty sharpish.

[size=7][color="#FF0000"]GONE[/color][/size] I've basically decided that not only do I prefer light basses (this is 9lb and balances perfect) but I also want reduced body size basses (though not cricket bat ones ). I'd be interested in a Sterling or other basses of similar quality, must be small bodied bass and no more than 9lb in weight.

Now if you had the matching SD Jazz pup to go with this we'd be talking... you don't do you?
