Would check this up in a heartbeat if London wasn't so non-local to me...

Two weeks ago, this bass was listed on Yakaz (whatever that is) as being in Sale, Manchester M33.

The wording is also decidedly dicey - [i] I am happy to answer any questions regarding the auction [/i]- which implies that the description was lifted from an eBay listing.

Ah, thought it sounded too good to be true.
Oh well...

I'm pretty sure this, and another one have been mooching around graiglist for some time. I contacted both and amazingly, both 'owners' were from the Shetland/Orkney Isles. Happily offering to post btw.
I offered to collect in person and never heard back.

I emailed them.

I just had this reply.

Hi, I`m very sorry because i cannot reply so soon, but i was out of my
town with my father,because is very sick and i must to stay with him.
i`m based in Lerwick, if you are still interested ,let me know

Thx,

Strange phrasing .

I've relied that I'm sorry to hear about her Father. But what a coincidence because I live in Lerwick too, so can I call around and try the bass LOL.

Just in case everyone isn't already rather wary of this, last year I was surprised to see photographs of my Wal for sale in - you've guessed it - Lerwick. I knew it was mine, because I recognised the facings on the bass and the carpet of the person I actually bought the bass from (in Yorkshire). I was particularly surprised because it was sitting in my hallway ready for rehearsal later that day.

Who are you, and do you live in Lerwick?
