rubis Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 .............who cares, it's a tidy looking bass [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271143238037#description"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271143238037#description[/url] The seller is quite upfront about the fact that certain details don't add up and it may not be a Mexican P, but would anyone fake a MIM? Good price so far for a nice looking bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettsguitars Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I guess he's charging £20 postage partly for the effort involved in getting a bass in a box and physically posting the thing which isn't an easy business. Sounds like a totally honest chap and I wouldn't bother to even question the postage at that price. The decals, serials, body finish and hardware all look perfectly good for the price. Even if it sells for a few hundred quid I would guess it is worth it. Who cares if it is original or not, in fact you maybe better off with a used copy with a glowing report from the owner than buying a brand new unseen fender. They look better used too.

SlapbassSteve Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I don't get why anyone would make a blag Mexican Fender, when you can easily pick most of the real ones up for under £300 it seems pretty pointless to bother. [size=4] My brother had a lovely '02 for £150 a couple of years back and my '09 was only £200 in spotless as new condition.[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Yeah I snagged one a few years back for about £170. That was immaculate too. And about 15 mins drive away. Doesn't look like a standard MIM though. If it's a Fender at all. The specials usually go for quite a bit more. Looks maybe like someone's got a standard MIM and tried to make like something else.

theplumber Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Just used interparcel this week,great service. Guitar picked up and delivered to my door all within 24 hours,£11 ! I did value the item at around £50 as it was that price on e bay. They use UPS as carrier,in fact you have a choice of carrier. Similar item posted with parcelforce at local post office is around £18 and takes around 48 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipment of "MIM Fender" basses manufactured in a factory in China and sold on through eBay for anything up to £300 would show the fakers a handsome profit. That said, most recent trend has been in "Charvel", "Jackson" and "Greco". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
