Bloodaxe Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 TBH, I'm more concerned about the Primrose Yellow that appears to be lurking under the black. Oh, and the chances of retrieving any dates are very slim indeed unless they got nitro'd over at the factory. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I can't believe you guys, that's a great price seeing as "TRUSS ROD WORKS GREAT." Quote
bassaussie Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Isn't this seller somehow related to Tuneomatic? He's that guy in California (I think) who seems to have a constant supply of vintage Fenders that he sells for obscene prices. Edited January 9, 2011 by bassaussie Quote

I love everything about this listing. I love "obviously it was modified". I love the way if you look at the neck it kind of looks like it's melting. Quote
BassPimp66 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I am amazed.... then again, it's no more of a rip off than the load of infomercials broadcasted on US TV Quote
danbowskill Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 getting big gas for this....it looks lush!!! Quote

Apparently he has a time machine which he uses to go back to the sixties to buy up new Fenders. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 That's a bargain for a neck of such quality and provenance. Looks like the type of thing you'd sell a kidney for......? Quote

Soloshchenko Posted January 10, 2011 Author Posted January 10, 2011 I know I'm an idiot but is anyone else thinking "If that was as cheap as it should be (ie. less than £20), I would love to have a go at restoring it"? Be honest! Just me then. Quote

StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Right, I want him found and I want Hitler's firing squad brought back to life to destroy this "being" for such heinous crimes against bass! Quote
