Chest Rockwell Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 I dont mean legit in a bad way, y'know! just give it a once over? I know you guys are experts!!! that said, i left it a bit late! Quote
Low End Bee Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Looks like a real one to me. The serial no. denotes a US one. The pictures don't really help a lot though. You'd have to decide if it's good value? Quote
PURPOLARIS Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Looks legit to me. Thanks for pointing it out, I might just bid for it Quote
Chest Rockwell Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 well, seems like it? if it stays under 500? im gonna go around that, see how it goes... guy seems cool. replied to messages and has good feedback. i know people on here can go 'damn, that tuner isnt right!' and stuff. it's a big field and im just a tiddler. and i need to work on my metaphors!

Chest Rockwell Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 [quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='938173' date='Aug 27 2010, 03:37 PM']Looks legit to me. Thanks for pointing it out, I might just bid for it [/quote] as long as it goes to a good home eh? *** *** *****!!!! Quote
Clarky Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Looks legit but its not a new series bass as it doesn't have a tort plate or heavy mass bridge. I guess its an S1, the previous series. If thats right its a bit cheap now (£456 including postage if you were to bid) but you wouldn't want to pay more than about £500 as I think thats pretty much the going rate on BC for a pre-2009/10 series US Precision.

BB2000 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 If you can afford it, save a bit more for a 2008 forward US bass. I wouldn't buy an older Fender without trying it first... Quote
Chest Rockwell Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) ah thanks guys!! I really want the tort plate too anyway, so was gonna change it. maybe i should be holding out. it's not like I need it... at all. it's pure GAS! Edited August 27, 2010 by Chest Rockwell Quote
Chest Rockwell Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 well, i tried 436 and so far it's mine. we'll see... anyone wanna race me? (i appreciate this isnt clever ebay tactics but I dunno, it's either mine at a bargain, or someone elses and I keep the cash so...) Quote
Clarky Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Went for £511 - not exactly a bargain with the £20 postage on top, especially given the poor quality of the photos Quote
BB2000 Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 No, another £100 and the buyer could have had a 2008 series... Quote
Chest Rockwell Posted August 27, 2010 Author Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) well, someone came in and took it at £511. If I'd waited till the last second it coulda been mine £436 but I didnt know if the highest bidder had put a max bid. no harm done. Now I need to work some charm on Musicman thanks for your advice guys, seriously! If you ever need to know anything about Iron Maiden, Thrash or Stoner Rock, just ask!
