warwickhunt Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 It may well be a genuine sale, just because he/she has cut and pasted generic info into their thread and they are a brand new user doesn't make it a dodgy bass but... nobody, not ever... should ever wind the G string that way on a Stingray bass!

jezzaboy Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Re winding the string the wrong way. It`s almost as annoying as people who leave the un-trimmed ends of the string hanging out, mostly on guitars but I have seen it on a few basses. Or people who don`t put the end of the string down into the hole on the tuner peg Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brensabre79 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Could be stolen or something - the eBay username has clearly been set up solely for the purpose of selling the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do coil them up neatly though as otherwise Mrs Zero might get an eyeful of guitar string ends and she wouldn't like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
