karlfer Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Copy of mail I sent yesterday, with no reply. Shame really as he set up a few months ago under two different names and has had some nice gear in. Most of it reasonably priced. Smeg, and now with link [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181293611403?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649"]Fender Precision Custom Bass - Japan Mid 80's - Reliced![/url] [color=#000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=2][b]Dear cotswoldbassguitars,[/b] Hi there. If you take the neck off, the body will have a stamp, for example PB57-OWUS, which would be Precision Bass, 57 re-issue, Olympic White, US pick ups. It is possible to trace the kind of wood from that code.The heel of the neck would also have some info, although it is most likely only to be a production date. A photo of the neck pocket would be great.[/size][/font][/color] Edited January 7, 2014 by karlfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sad, sad, sad, sad. What a f*cking mess. Wish I hadn't looked. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I'm not so sure that it's 'tastefully' reliced (as per the description). And the paint seems to be radioactive, what's going on there? PS: If this happens to be a Basschatter's bass - it's very lovely and good luck with the sale.

Hutton Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I have done business with David at Cotswold Bass Guitars on two occasions and found him to be courteous and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 It doesn't look like its been reliced. It looks like its been sanded down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
