Gumtree "Fender" P Bass?

[Fuzzbass2000]

At first I thought Highway 1 but does that headstock look goofy or is it a weird trick of the light?

Doesn't look like a Fender to me

If that's a Fender then I'm Bob Marley!

[PURPOLARIS]

It's not even a Fenders Auntie.

Great News... Spliffs all round then!

[yorick]

if you want to pay £250 for what looks like a re-badged Hohner, feel free

[Fuzzbass2000]

Too good to be true eh!

Pass,

[LemonCello]

All shades of wrong!

£250? Pah! Chicken feed. I would rather pay the BIN price on Evilbay and have that wonderful PayPal buyer protection thingy:

I emailed him suggesting the headstock and bridge were wrong and asking him the serial number...

"[size="2"]hi mate yea this bass it is creamy white , and the pickups is from fender 1962 pbass usa made , it has a incredible sound ....and has nice old body.... was with other headstock!!!! but now with the original thanks if u get that bass u will be just very happy just saying..."[/size]


[size="2"]Pickups are from a 1962 pbass usa so it must be kosher!!!![/size]

[Fuzzbass2000]

Mmmmm.... creamy white....

Closer to a Lakland headstock.
What that needs is a few quid worth of headstock decal with something like Lakeside or Lake District on it.

Had it been the right shape, it could so easily have worn a Fecker Pretender logo with pride.

[size=1]"[size=4]was with other headstock, now with original"[/size][/size]

[size=1][size=4]So he's changed the "headstock" and suddenly it's a 1962 original? Seriously undervalued at £250 BIN I think?[/size][/size]

[size=1][size=4]Ha, he's cottoned on now and and has it up for £350 BIN![/size][/size]
