It has so obviously been hit with sandpaper. -> [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160560167256&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123#vi-desc"]linky[/url]
At no point does he categorically claim that the wear is genuine but the carefully chosen wording [i]implies[/i] it several times. He also implies that it is a 70's bass (I think it's an '83+)

Still there's probably a nice bass in there somewhere.

I've just spotted his ebay-name. It rings a bell but I can't remember from what... of course it doesn't help that all his past listings are private.

He sells (usually) ludicrously over priced stuff. If you look at any thread here laughing at how much something cost there's a fair chance it's him.

Phew I thought for a moment that I'd bought something off him.

I wonder what stoopid reserve he's set on it then.

Sweet Jebus!
He probably has to sell everything at hiked up prices to be able to afford all that hairspray.

He also selling a 70's P that I think has already been discussed

Gads...! Hope I never bump into him if I'm in the company of some semi famous musician from the Sixties! he seems to have formed a band with almost every one he's ever met! wonder why they were all so short lived ?

Including a brief colaberation with Steven Hawking on backing vocals.

I guess all you could do with it is completely strip it now. It looks awful as it is!

Yep. I bet it would look peachy all stripped and finished in natural.

Well, as we all know, G&L as a company didn't exist until 1980, and the SB1 didn't appear until '82. Thing is, being in production from '82 to '84, an original SB1 (or SB2 come to that) is a desirable bass. Recently, a black/maple SB1 sold locally for £650 (as it was all original and in excellent condition). He obviously thought doing a home relic job would get him a better price than what these usually go for. Plank.

Actually I think he's the secret son of Paul Shane ............. you be the judge .........





I met him once & does have the "big I Am attitude".
A few years ago he had a shop which sold old guitars, this could still be his stock being sold off.

[Ou7shined]

Wow, I was waiting for his big face to explode all over the mic there.
