Possibly... is it yours?

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!

Oh and it has a long way to run before we find out if it is a bargain or not. ;0)

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.
