discreet Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Er... HOW much for a non-original refinished Mustang?? You can get a proper 34" scale bass for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Enter another 10 reasons not to buy it at that price here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Apple Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 [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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) 17 is not a date but it is the code for a Mustang bass or Musicmaster bass neck. Edited April 15, 2016 by EssentialTension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlungerModerno Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Come on guys! This is a steal! And for an investment - you don't get surer than cash on collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1460657976' post='3027702'] Well I give a good reason not to buy it.....

He's also had it up on BIN/BO at £1,699 - twice! Edited April 15, 2016 by JapanAxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammybee Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 This bass sold previously (in January) on Ebay for £620.00 - Even then I think he overpaid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 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...
