The chances of this being real?

I think that seller has had some 'difficulties' in the past.

A search for his name on here will turn up some interesting stories.

Please excuse my dumbness, but what are the screw holes in front of the bridge for?

Ah thank you. Never seen them before. I only knew of the 'foam under the bridge cover' trick and now feel suitably enlightened.

That's loverly, well documented & completely original, I don't see it being anything other than "as advertised"
Think I'll 'make an offer'

Joe's Long - he must have been the original Red Hot Chilli Pepper

When I see something like this on ebay I always wonder WHY they dont put it in a specialist Auction if it's genuine.

Rosewood grain looks pretty different in that magazine picture compared to the bass picture in my eyes...

Fees and sales taxes. Ebay's and PayPal's fees are capped and taxes at standard rate.

I think someone posted on here recently that Ebay had removed their cap. Could still be cheaper than an auction though.

Coverage, simple as that. This seller sells most of his gear by other means, but uses eBay to generate the interest. New Kings Road, and Music Ground do the same thing here in the UK. eBay fee's are low on these high end stuff anyway. Specialist auction houses charge 25% +VAT. eBay charges a maximum £40.

This instrument looks right to me, stunning in fact.

Having said that, this seller does have a rather chequered history, or was it CAR?

Dodgy seller, gen bass! From one of the most underrated bassists! Didn't start appreciating him till a few years ago, as like many, refused to show interest in The Four Seasons as a young bassist! Till car radios got better and digital ones started chucking out a decent bit of bass and thought.. wow, some very innovative playing there.
