PURPOLARIS Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-p-bass-with-jazz-neck-/130763997507?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e72244143 This is screaming ply body at me. Whenever a seller says that he's not sure if the parts are genuine or not, especially more than once, you can be sure they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 With an obvious decal - looks like an Encore or Hohner body, I like the way the listing skirts around the truth without being blatantly dishonest. 28 bidders? One disappointed winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Decal surrounds / edges look unlike any Fender I have owned (4 from 1977) or any Fender I have seen (countless). Caveat emptor m'lud. Edited September 14, 2012 by 3below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm trying to find one component that actually looks remotely like a genuine fender one? Thumbrest? £150, and not finished yet!!!, someone is gonna get hurt, it ain't worth £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pst62 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Headstock again is the dead giveaway! Compare the curvature between the D and G string posts with a real Fender. Also the position of the String tree is wrong! There are a few screws missing! at least he's aware of his mental condition Edited September 15, 2012 by pst62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
