Maude Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 [quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1445975242' post='2895886'] Placebo [/quote] Trivial fact....... I restored and painted Steve Hewitt's car a few years ago. It was the first car he bought with his Placebo earnings and he wanted it back to showroom condition to put into storage. Sadly it was only a purple Peugeot 306 GTI 6. Boring fact over, as you were. Quote
Left Foot Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Look at this, the nerve! £225 for a deco resale. Is this illegal or should I report to ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Road-Worn-50s-Style-Precision-Bass-Right-Handed/262106676636?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D33957%26meid%3D73d5039e1925461494c939a730e28963%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D281836101014 Quote
Left Foot Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) I think claire050868 is taking the piss tbh, the sellers got another bass covered in some kins of putty/filler. I suspect another deko Edited October 28, 2015 by Left Foot Quote
Andytre Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 say £299 to me! it depends whether you think they've put £270 worth of work into it i supose Quote
Bassassin Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Nothing remotely illegal about it. Chancers gonna chance, though. Love the skilfully hacksawed headstock. Jon. Quote
rockmanrock Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) He's also selling this beauty: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unique-Road-Worn-Jazz-Bass-Guitar-Right-Handed-/262075394066?hash=item3d04e92812:g:b5EAAOSw0HVWDnMF"]http://www.ebay.co.u...5EAAOSw0HVWDnMF[/url] Interesting intonation set up at the bridge. He had another HB 50's P on there recently for about 150 quid which was sprayed in yellow paint, "sunburst" stylee. I think Mr Phillips has some competition! Edit: found it, somebody bought it!

Andytre Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 that yellow one is sickening! i might have a go at a headstock reshape on my PB50 now though! Quote
Left Foot Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Do you guys try this? It mist be illegal as they are selling it as something its not - intentionally to deceive buyer about it worth. They know its not a random fender copy. Its a deko theyve mucked about with. Edited October 28, 2015 by Left Foot Quote
nightsun Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Which pretty much makes it a random Fender copy Quote

Andytre Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 It's definitely morally wrong to me, I don't know enough about the law to comment on legality Quote
Left Foot Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Well, as ive asked for, could you be helpful in high lighting how my opinion is wrong on a legal basis. Do you kmow how this has been tested? If you know about the legality of this scenario then please share. Quote
