No expert but would'nt a Rockbass $$ say "Rockbass" on the headstock? Seems a huge price disparity otherwise?

[/quote] not for the last few years. But that photo isn't actaully his bass, it's a stock one

Poor bugger.

If it is not a scam he has probably spent the best part of 1800 notes on a new $$ with no clue the second hand market is how it is.

Now he thinks he is offering it for a steal of £400 off for an as new bass.

[Stuee]

Well I emailed him suggesting that the pictured bass was not a Warwick Corvette $$ & asking for pictures of the actual bass he's selling...

He came back with this, "That definitely is a $$...exact model as the one that I'm selling...???"

Right, so he's confirmed that what he's selling is the same as in the picture, which is a Rockbass Corvette $$, NOT a German one.

But is he crooked or just ignorant? That is a $$ (albeit a Rockbass one). But it's listed and priced as a German Warwick. Hmmm...

Here's the German one: http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?katID=22016&cl=EN
Here's the Chinese one: http://www.warwick.de/modules/produkte/produkt.php?submenuID=17072&katID=22911&cl=EN

Not sure if sarcasm or broken English

[jaydentaku]

Well, my sarcasm sense definitely tingled.

[chrismuzz]

What a pleb-end Oh well, at least he's put a real photo up!

[Stuee]

Definitely facetious. Well he should be genuinely grateful; he might actually stand a chance of selling it now he's got a picture of the correct model up there instead of one worth less than half as much!

[uncle psychosis]

The mind boggles. "I know, I'll try and sell something for £1400 and just use a stock photo off the internet". Are these people nuts?

[throwoff]

Again, been jipped.

Spent 1800 notes on that brand new, probably not a BC'er or TBer so has no idea you can get mint Wicks of all types for £600 notes second hand.

Probably is honestly confused why noone is bidding when he has knocked £550 off what he paid!

1800???

They are about 1300 new! (this is the bolt-on model, isn't it?)
