The cheaper one's seller has a 'fake' slur in his feedback so it may not be what he says it is, you could at least ask him for some better photos showing the details of it to compare with the more expensive one?

It could almost send a shill down your spine. Incidentally, for that last transaction both partners left each other the feedback comment "great e-bayer, thnanks!" (note the spelling!). And if you still trust this customer, note what he's just bought: 01/04/11: mrbrownesq bought a gibson les paul replica 19/04/11: mrbrownesq bought a les paul style truss rod cover Oh, and note that this is the third red squier p-bass he's sold!

squire5 Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hmmmm (twirls moustache) verrrry interrrresting.I noticed that the 'Fake' slur was for a Fred Perry shirt.But I still like the bass.I wonder which of the 2 prices is the most realistic though.I only paid £80 for mine second hand,but it's just the regular P5 with 2 J-type pickups.
