Lozz196 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Yeah, not bad at all. Am tempted on this, but already have 4 basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 That is a bargain! Be nice if someone on here snapped it up so we got a full walk around it afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigman Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Hmmmmm You know I don't think that is original. I don't EVER remember seeing a black JV with a tort plate Can't see a black JV P listed on the JV register: [url="http://www.21frets.com/jvreg/JV_Registry.pdf"]http://www.21frets.c...JV_Registry.pdf[/url] EDIT: actually I can see 2..... HMmm then maybe it is real? I seem to remember when i bought mine (new) the 62 came in Olympic White or Fiesta red or 3 tone sunburst only Edited April 6, 2013 by Twigman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I had a black one with a tort plate, this is very similar - mine was sold when I was a poor student hence my interest in this. He still isn't responding though so possibly a scam to get as many phone numbers as possible and sell them to a marketing company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybass 70 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 I hope its not a scam, does seem too good to be true though , However if its real and I had the cash it would be a good investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbkeeves Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Well. It didn't turn out so rosy after all :-( I was the first caller, we agreed on the price and I had arranged to have it picked up tomorrow. Then somebody called him, told him it was worth a lot more, offered him 300 more for it and well, the rest is history. Rather ungentlemanly, but there you go. Good luck to whoever bought it. Grrr....

Kev Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 The guys on this forum are great but why do i get the sad feeling it was someone who read this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedmanzie Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 If i type "jv squire precision sale" into google the first thing that appears is one that sold here for £675 in november so the Gumtree seller should have at least given it 5 mins of research before listing it. Typical Gumtree, I've given up even looking there after several hopeless experiences. It seemed to be some way off mint condition so £650 seems a bit high to me...?

Paul S Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It does leave a bit of a nasty taste, doesn't it. Almost certainly it was someone who read this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 At £350 it was a silly bargain, I have a battered and refinished JV I'd value at that. I think £650 is very steep for a Squier logo'd JV however, it sounds like he was trying to get you into an unofficial auction. I think you are well out of it - he didn't call me back or answer my texts. I bet it resurfaces soon. You are probably best off looking for something on here. Sorry to hear of your disappointment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] its what they've been going on here for (several listed recently from 600 to about 800), but from the pics i thought the gumtree item looked fairly scuffed up. i talked to the guy yesterday but he said it was already gone - said he'd had people calling all day. to be fair he didn't ask me to make an offer and i didn't pursue it any further either. can't really blame the seller too much if he's been offered [i]twice[/i] the price for it but i agree its not very nice. i tried to buy two JVs on the basschat forum and both times the deal got pulled having agreed the sale. maybe they're jinxed...!

Kev Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yeah it isn't great for the seller but understandable. What bothers me more is if someone on here saw that a basschatter had agreed £350 for the bass and [i]then[/i] offered double to grab it.

Musky Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It seems very rum all round. I think it's a bit odd that the guy who bought it apparently jumped in with an offer of almost double what was originally being asked. Perhaps several people offered more than was asked and it was sold off auction style. Either that or the buyer [i]really[/i] wanted a black JV.
