Kev Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) [quote name='thebeat' post='236112' date='Jul 9 2008, 09:59 PM']I asked Kev last night to give me a link to the Ebay page as i couldn't find it through my feedback page as it was showing as private, I apologise for my sh*te memory but i couldn't be sure whether Kev had shown a pic of the headstock with the decal or not and maybe jumped the gun in stating that it had been sold as a Fender Custom Shop model and that Kev had perhaps just used different terminology in the advert, and i quote here '' [b]Fender Precision / Jazz Special Bass Limited Edition '' [/b][/quote] just thought id add that also that was an accurate statement, the stock bass was part of a limited run of US precision special basses. case closed, just as a sign off i think in general forum members need to make sure they hear both stories before jumping on the bandwagon, it happens a LOT on here, not just to me, and it gets pretty frustrating peace Edited July 9, 2008 by BassManKev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennysFord Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Tis'sure a beauty,if i had the $$$$$$ i'd have it in a heart beat.It's worth the asking price just to have it hanging on the wall.

LukeFRC Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 from the look of it it is a nice bass thebeat. The secondhand market up here in scotland (well edinburgh anyway) is so small i would have thought you would be better offering it around locally, gumtree etc? Im not sure it is correct that you should sell it on here and lose out -just because its caused a bit of a barney before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a Ibanez Articore and was llooking to buy a short scale hollowbody, I was gas'ing for either a Gretsch or a Jack Casady ( i know the casady is long scale) and wanted to put the proceeds to one or the other...i've decided on a Gretsch so the credit card is gonna get a hiding very soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
