looks like an illegal chinese special, that they seem to have mixed up the decals on, or they just didn't have Musicman decals....

People who list items like that should be slapped, really hard, with the guitar that they're trying to flog.

IMHO, of course

I fancied a bit of Seller Baiting to cheer me up:

[b]"Hi!

I think you may be slightly mistaken as to the heritage of this bass. It's bodyshape is styled on a Musicman Stingray, which will definately not have come from Fender, and the headstock logo says it's a Precision bass, not a Jazz as per your description.

Does it have any serial numbers, or any other identification to give potential buyers a better clue as to where this bass was actually made?

Thanks

[b]"Hi,i did originaly list the item as looking like a stingray but ebay removed the listing.i bought the bass off ebay around 2 years ago.There are no numbers etc on the bass if there were i would have photo'd them.The finish is very good and it sounds sweet,if it were a musicman i would not have started it at 99 with no reserve,i put jazz on the listing so more people would see it,if i put 'bass guitar' it would get limited viewings,cheers pete.

Soo, do I now question his reasoning for putting Fender as the manufacturer, or just get ebay on his arse for all the other infringements he's got? Admitting that he's listed it as a Jazz to get more hits should mean he'll get asked to take it down, for starters, right?

Whatcha recon, anyone else wanna have a poke at him?
