gjones Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Who does this guy think he's kidding? Nice bass but worth £250 max. And I don't even think the body is original. Because the silver series basses used to have a grounding strip from the bridge to the bridge pickup like the original 62s. Those machine heads look suspiciously new too. After all, this is supposed to be a 20 something year old bass http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SQUIER-by-FENDER-Silver-Series-Jazz-Bass-USA-Accessories-CUSTOM-COLOUR-VGC-/262077066206?hash=item3d0502abde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 [quote name='Ebay Fantasist']By legend the Fullerton equipment was shipped to Japan along with several technicians to set up Fender's Japanese operation. As the equipment, and many of the technicians, had been at Fullerton for the 25 years from 1968 to 1993 the instruments produced were nicknamed 'Silver Series' and this was eventually officially adopted for the initial range produced.[/quote] Seriously? This is some parallel universe he inhabits where "Fender's Japanese operation" was set up in 1993? Words fail me etc. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I like the bit where he starts 'by legend', followed by the fairy story. Maybe it is some form of disclaimer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Surely you mean "vintage bollocks"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameltoe Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 He's wound it down quite a bit from his last description, and taken the price down! It was up for £750!! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/265898-nice-description-what-a-load-of-old-tosh/page__fromsearch__1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
