Shonks Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) ebay already threw this off, now he's back with a slightly more apologetic description, however, he's still trying to flog it as a genuine Fender and some poor sucker's bid £200....I reported it as a fake --you should too. Let's try and save the bidder's £200. Could go higher ...OMG [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RE-ISSUED-FENDER-70s-STYLE-FRETLESS-JAZZ-BASS/121697958567?_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985&_trkparms=aid%3D444000%26algo%3DSOI.DEFAULT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29272%26meid%3D0c3b8eb757ad4922bcbb1546b60aa83a%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D121696073812"]http://www.ebay.co.u...%3D121696073812[/url] Edited July 8, 2015 by Shonks Quote

yorks5stringer Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 "the ageing can be mended with a bit of T Cut". I think not my friend, no amount of T Cut will rectify that. Quote
AndyTravis Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Why do people doing this crap never choose the right era headstock logo? I know there's much more wrong with it than the logo. Quote
the hand of john curley Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 6 bids and now at £281 This is so wrong-some poor sod is going to get well and truly ripped off. Quote
SingleMalt Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Does eBay not care if people report it? I have reported it and I'm sure a couple of others here have and it's still going! Quote
