cytania Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The strange thing about that board is you would think the varnish would stay clean under the string and wear away inbetween the strings and frets where you fingers actually rub. Instead he has a light coloured board except for dirty marks midways between frets and under the string. It's more like guitar wear than a bassist fretting right. Also if the wear is even across all frets why does he have a dirt shadow on the back of the neck suggesting he never played beyond sixth fret? A refret maybe but unstated. Seller hasn't a clue. Thanks for the reasoning for invisible bids on a private sale WH. I may be paranoid about Shills but I know they're out to get me :-) £720 with one hour to go.

Oh sh*t[/quote] Never mind £820 is cheap enough, as that famous vintage guitar dealer in Norfolk will buy it off you for more than you paid... after all they say it's genuine and surely they'd snap your arm off to get a genuine 64 P bass for under a grand!

tauzero Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I may be completely wrong, of course, but didn't Fenders of that vintage (and, indeed, the following decade or so) have their trussrod adjustment at the heel end (which was a right royal pain in the bum)?

Jerry_B Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Does anyone apart from me think it'd be a good thing if all us folks here at BC took it upon ourselves to inform the Bay of this and any future dodgyness? I think we have enough people here who can spot the crap being flogged there, and I think it'd being doing the world of bass playing a favour...

karlfer Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 History now I know, but the "road worn" finish, especially close to where the forearm would be, seems very smooth to me? Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
