However, I have to say that a low feedback rating and some vague description wouldn't inspire me unless I could see it in person. The old ebay chat that rings alarm bells are as follows; [i]'I am told that this Fender Precision Bass is a late 1970’s model (serial number: S888563).'[/i] - The seller isn't SAYING that it is a late 70's Precision, simply that they've been told that it is; ebay get out clause #42. [i]'I do not play myself, but my local guitar shop has checked it over and all they did was give the frets a slight grind.'[/i] - You have to ask your self if they don't play how the hell have they got it for sale, there could be genuine reasons but it rings alarm bells. [i] 'You can see from the photo that the covers are missing, but otherwise I understand that all parts are original.'[/i] - "I understand..." ebay get out clause #36 [i]'...but I do not have an amp or a lead!'[/i] - see 2nd comment above. On the plus side they are happy for collection and they have given a serial number but serial numbers are easily replicated/falsified. Not saying that it isn't genuine but the above would have me questioning the seller. BTW if it is yours... see above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen the Corvette shape with f-holes before, me likey![/quote] Officially named the Streamer Corvette but affectionately known on the Warwick forum as the Infinette, as it predates the Infinity series (and any of the Corvettes) and was released as a Ltd Ed in 91. It has the concave/convex contours and NT of the early Warwicks but the outline of the later Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
