Sellers like this, who needs them?

Er... HOW much for a non-original refinished Mustang?? You can get a proper 34" scale bass for that.

But, it's Brazilian rosewood.

No really, it is, I guess because it's dark?

Seriously.



(Enter another 10 reasons not to buy it at that price here).

Well I give a good reason not to buy it..... It's too expensive and I think it's worth maybe £500 quid.

But it's vintage wood and it's dried up opening all the vintage air trapped inside everytime you play hahaha.

Nice routing

[color=#000000]This instrument received a full professional setup (worth £45) with deep body cleansing, body polish and carnauba wax, neck deep clean, full electronics check, truss-rod and action and intonation adjustment[/color]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Well, either that [/size][/font][size=4]or I'll chuck it in a sack while rubbing my hands together, laughing loudly.[/size]

17 is not a date but it is the code for a Mustang bass or Musicmaster bass neck.

Come on guys! This is a steal!

And for an investment - you don't get surer than cash on collection!

Great minds think alike - I was watching this when it was a low-start auction, with a maximum in mind of £500!

He's also had it up on BIN/BO at £1,699 - twice!

Anywhere that can be described as [i]"[color=#000000]5 minutes walk from Willesden Junction tube/overground" [/color][/i]is sufficient warning that you should avoid this seller.

Willesden Junction has yet to be dragged, screaming and kicking, out of the worst days of the 70s.

This bass sold previously (in January) on Ebay for £620.00 - Even then I think he overpaid!

Guys, go on to eBay USA and check out the hysteria over there for any guitar part that can (allegedly) be traced to Fullerton, no matter what condition or provenance. This guy's still an amateur

[lowregisterhead]

Actually, I think this might be a bit of a bargain. My missus went to a spa for a [color=#000000]full professional setup, with deep body cleansing, body polish and carnauba wax, neck deep clean, full electronics check, truss-rod and action and intonation adjustment[/color], and it cost a LOT more than £45...

Very true.

I wonder if ever the sellers search and find these threads. Would be amusing to us at least.
