Roger2611 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-57-Reissue-P-Bass-White-Blonde-Precision-Bass-/111628043469?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fd8cc4cd Just come across the above....how many points can you spot that says this is probably not a 57 reissue bass! So relisted due to crazy person or relisted because the original buyer got someone with a bit of knowledge to look at the pictures and decided not to lose a shed load of money on some dubious Fender(ish) parts. At a guess, possibly a standard mexican neck with 70's logo applied, possibly a Mexican 50's clasic body as it lacks the bridge cover holes but appears to have the right scratchplate and looks to be ok for the blonde finish they had, black plastic gasket on the neck plate is wrong, knobs are wrong, finger rest is wrong! I would report it but Ebay won't do anything about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I wonder if it's [i]the[/i] Dave Holland? I don't know if he plays much bass guitar nowadays, but I suppose he might keep one or two around.

Nibody Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 What's really amusing is that I suggested items underneath it actually shows a GENUINE '57 reissue... It looks like a nice bass, just not £1200 of nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Just looking at the listing again, it was sold for the £1200 asking price which has got him a negative feedback from the newish buyer, just saying "Fake Bass" it just goes to show, if in doubt...get it on here and we can tell you if it's an obvious wrong un!

cameltoe Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) This looks identical to a bass I was watching on eBay last year. It was for sale in London, and was a USA '57 reissue complete body with a mighty mite neck. It's identical down to the gold tug bar and knobs, and neck logo. The opening price was £350, first time round it ended with no bids, second time it sold. I'll see if I can find it.
