karlfer Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 If the price doesn't go too daft may well have a punt on this Sid-a-like, but apart from the declared hossing about, what do you reckon folks? Ta, Karl. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330733015318?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorick Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Apart from the re-fin, EMG's and Hipshot, looks original. I bet the price will rocket in the last couple of hours, though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Cheers Yorick, that's about what I thought, especially the rocketting bit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 this one has been on my watch list for a few days. Can't afford another one at the moment but always watching just in case. Even been reliced by a singer biting it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It looks fine, but if he's thinning out his stupidly large 70's Precision collection (presumably including this one's twin in the background) why is he selling his very first bass? I might be way off beam here, but I might have thought if it was any good he might have liked to keep it. Probably worth asking about the weight, action, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1337378829' post='1659231'] didn't you know, it's Ebay fashion that when you are thinning down your collection you sell all the best ones. [b]Especially ones that play like butter or are the best you have ever played.[/b] [/quote] And have necks that are "[font="Verdana"]straight and true[/font]". I always chuckle at that nautical one-liner. Why does no one on ebay (and occasionally on here) sell any bases with a nice bit of relief in the neck?

Looking at his feedback he's bought a VM Neck, Squier body and Fender tuners in the last 12 months......

warwickhunt Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Those tuners look awfully shiny for a 34 year old bass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 He bought an awful lot of 'Fender' replacement parts as well as Squier basses back in early 2010 inc' 70's neck plate etc.... not saying it is a con but odd that one of the things that he bought was a whole set of NEW Fender tuners!

Musky Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Another White Precision - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330698670872 Though he says it has '73 neck hardware, the tuners clearly aren't from that period. Makes you wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Brilliant place this. Thanks lads, I bottled it and I'm so glad I did. Cheers, Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
