iconic Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 been reading thru the Fender timeline, and as this is the colour combo I want, what is the concensus amoung the 'Fenderisti'....looks good to my rookie eyes and it's just up the road from my bruv?

stinson Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Looks good to me, squeaky clean. Although, not sure I can see an 'F' on the neckplate? or is it just my poor eyesight? Quote
iconic Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 that's what caught my eye, could well be the camera angle....and almost too clean for 24 years old...no, no, I must be getting paranoid! Asked for better close ups. Quote
stinson Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah, to be honest it looks all good to me. Just ask for picks without the covers to check there isnt a dodgy bridge or pickups! Quote
wateroftyne Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Looks OK to me, assuming there's an F on the neckplate. The 'it looks to clean for something that old' worries that crop up around things like this never really bother me... Quote
iconic Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) ohh, well that's me out, got to be viewed in person from the answer...that's only a 5 hour + drive for me.... only asked for 4 photo's, a serial number conformation and how long owned, got none of that...

Statistically speaking, there must be at least one P owner who has catered for the fragile finish and actually looked after the thing. Quote

I can see it.[/quote] I still love the colour combo on this bass....and not expensive...although still see the same high end basses for sale week after week, not a lot a spare ash rolling around for toys? ....F stamp....you can see it?.... it must be my old eyes, which pic can you see that in? ....I also can't see a body end truss rod adjustment, which is why I requested a close up of the body, could be there, but I'll never know, and for £1200 slices I ain't begging the vender for a 5 minute photo? Should the head end of the neck have a walnut plug visible? Edited March 24, 2011 by iconic Quote
voxpop Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 It might be the real deal but the seller won't take paypal. If anything goes wrong you will have no protection. We all moan about eBay, and that includes me, but paypal can be a good thing when buying goods that might be fake. Quote

Lozz196 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) It also states "where the neck joins the body has been professionally repaired". £1200 is a lot for a bass that has been damaged isn`t it? Edited March 24, 2011 by Lozz196 Quote
iconic Posted March 25, 2011 Author Posted March 25, 2011 I didn't see that when 1st listed, there was a revision 23/3/2011... Quote
