Rare 50's tele bass!!!????? I dont think so!

[mojobass]

listed as a 'rare 50's original tele bass' is that right!!! well if he gets £750 for it i'd happily take £700 for mine!!!

Its a new generation 'modern player' tele bass which can be bought new for around the £400 mark - as i myself know well!

I can't believe the greed and skullduggery of some folk!!

He's also asking 600 quid for his Mexican precision, not quite the £900 someone else was trying to shift theirs for but still quite pricey!

He is obviously a "proffesional" "gutiarist" as well. Not much of a speller though obviously.

Iffy description, but OTOH it's difficult to argue that he's concealing what it is when he has a fine photo of the rear of the headstock with the serial number and "Made in China" clearly written on it. Illiterate chancer rather than deeply dishonest scammer.

[Hobbayne]

Maybe he thinks it is? If he bought in in good faith after being told it was? Some People don't know a Chinese bass, from a Chinese takeaway!

[mojobass]

I msgd him and told him what it was etc! he messaged back saying he had revised the listing and lowered the price accordingly!! - £650!!

So thats a brand new bass (that you can already buy in a shop with a warranty for £420) and a hiscox case all in for about £150 more than you could actually buy it for from a shop!!! not a bad deal!!

[Prosebass]

He is relying on the 'ebay effect' in that many people think that if they buy from ebay they will be getting a bargain. It amazes me that people don't check new prices first !

Interestingly all his feedback is private.
