Saw this; [url="http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/fender-bass-guitar-for-sale--t698347.html"]http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/fender-bass-guitar-for-sale--t698347.html[/url] Already looking like a scam. I asked for details.

Seller sent me 40 photos of the bass, and offered it to me for £150! Yeah, right...

Hi Solo,

What does the bass look like, how do you know its a scam?
Can you post the photos up?

Cheers

It might just be a case of someone being really nice and selling their bass at a fraction of it's real value.

Sorry - I've already deleted all the photos sent to me. From memory; CAR body, rosewood board.

I don't know for sure that this is a scam - I'm just drawing people's attention to the follow up post by spencerwh on Join My Band. Let's see now;

The seller says he/she paid £1800 for the bass and has offered it to me for £150. Apparently, it's being advertised all over the world with 40 pictures - not one of which shows the serial number clearly. spencerwh says: "...so far I've found the same guitar advertised in three continents (!) and the email address above appears on Google's 'spam' list if you perform a simple Google search."

I don't think there are many people who would feel 100% confident about buying the bass. Might just be a really generous pre-Christmas offer, of course...
