Cheap low quality early 70's, built down to a budget. Avoid.

https://www.facebook.com/Troyen14 / Looking for GUITARIST. Great originals band reformed a couple of years back, 3000+ likes, gigs in the book, but not huge amounts. Although I'm on some of the videos on Facebook/ You Tube, I'm no longer involved, I left because I couldn't do European gigs. One of the founding members has had to stand down due to poor health. Please let me know & I will put you in touch with them. Cheers, Karl.

Jack, mine was exactly the same as the following (currently on Feebay at a lunatic £685). Believe me, mine was cheap, horrible rubbish, bendy neck, no intonation, awful electrics and action you could drive a bus under. YET I STILL scraped the logo off & replaced it with Fender, from one of those Dymo Tape things

When you go to Hell can I have the Lindisfarne gig?

Must admit, I noticed that and was seriously jealous of his powers

Really

GAK were showing expected mid Feb, a mere 7 months after supposed launch.

P i s s e d became whizzed

5th pleaded

Jack, can I have 50 please? Usual canal spot at midnight, carnations this time.

You guess wrong & continue with your blinkers on all things but your opinion. It's really a shame that you insist on going straight in screwing people's sales threads rather than having the courtesy to PM them. Wonder why you do that. I'm off before I get another Mod Spank.

No it was several weeks ago, at £200. If you had had the courtesy to pm me YOUR concerns rather than put YOUR OPINION on my sales thread, you might not have whizzed me off so much. You might like to check my feedback before making remarks like the above quote.

I admire your confidence. The reality is you can buy Fender Custom Shop decals, JV neckplates, "case candy " packs, serial number transfers, all online, all hooky. Don't see Fender or the police shutting them down. We are better off with MEMBERS policing adverts, pretty much works thus far. Screwing peoples sales threads rather than having the courtesy to PM them first is really not in the spirit of Basschat.

So, the OP really want's to stop folk selling "adjusted" items on here, even if both parties are happy with the transaction. In a scale of criminality I find it hard to get worked up about a bit of printing on a bit of wood. The OP pulled this on one of my ads on Facebook, trying to screw the sale, which led to me blocking him. Fortunately a mate came round & was delighted with the bass & the price. Sorry Mr Hall if I robbed your IP, at a price of 8% of one of your products. If folk aren't allowed to sell these kind of Fender bitsa's on here, it WILL be the death knell for the classifieds.

Keep us up to date on those changes if you would be so kind I wouldn't be too surprised to see these changing hands at £300/£400 in a few years. Cracking basses, and I think Fender are currently lacking this style in an affordable range.

Some people like Fender on the headstock. Some people, one in particular don't like that. Tough, frankly. If the whole of the site was to be changed to accommodate that, it would be a massive blow. After this last website overhaul, highest number on at one time is something like 280. Prior to that change it was usually over 400 Prior to the change before last average on at many times was 4000 to 5000. Changes seem to hurt. Over & out from the Wigan panel.

Nash got a C & D several years ago. And as to them being "quality" some previous owners would disagree.

I couldn't find an emoticon for tongue in cheek.

Looking at this headstock (one of millions) somebody needs to have a word with them naughty Squier folk . Or Fender folk

Sorry dad, I was just being a tw playing devil's advocate Some would seem to wish to draw the (unnecessary) line at a different point to others

And there's the rub dad The one I am quoting is an actual factory made (for NAMM 1999 actually) bass, with, upgrades/mods, (whatever you wish to call them) made over the last 18 years. Sort of putting a better exhaust/wheels/tyres on a Peugeot Bipper BMW 1 series.

Don't know if I dare sell my Mex Precision Bass Special Deluxe Series, with it's Hipshot Lollipop tuners, Seymour Duncan P/J pick ups & BadAss11 bridge. Fender are quite happy to send out C & D's, if they deem it necessary, but frankly they rarely bother with the "used" market!

But has created a worrying reaction.

Perhaps if you pm'd perceived "offenders" before affecting their sales threads?????

Why not? You lit blue touch paper & retreated on the Limelight ad that started this. You also did the same on one of my Facebook ads.
