throwoff Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1972-pink-fender-precision-bass-guitar-/280559581953?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4152a77b01"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1972-pink-fender-pre...=item4152a77b01[/url] Is this fake? Real? Refin? what is it!!! Look at the photo of the bridge, the strings are not at the right angle are they... or am I going squiffy?

Ou7shined Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I don't think it's all original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmeg Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 The neck and case look fine from the pics, i wouldnt be too concerned with that. But Throwoff is right, the bridge looks totally pissd. Says the body is probably not original. This seems like a genuine sale, all the info is there, any buyer would know what they are getting in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 She isn't at it, I think she just has no idea about pricing - I guess she thinks it's an old "Fender" so it must be worth a fortune. She's unlikely to get any bids at that price. The pics are terrible but it's a bitsa alright. If I remember rightly one of the issues with the BA1 bridge as fitted to this was that it was way too high for Ps & Js, hence the BAII being much lower-profile. It's hard to tell from the pics but it does look like the neck's been shimmed so it stands very proud from the body, presumably to get a playable action. That and the novelty bridge angle makes it look like a proper bodge job. And what's with the two metal doorhandles (I hesitate to call them strap buttons!) sticking out of the bottom of it? Jon.

tauzero Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 She might have got a little more interest if she'd mentioned somewhere that it was fretless. Or maybe she'd have got less... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
