Roger2611 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fender-bass-/172572360550?hash=item282e1d3f66:g:lVgAAOSwzgBYxVN~ Found this on Ebay today, clearly not a genuine Fender, I have messaged the seller and explained why it is not genuine and what it is likely to be....I got the message back "Ok thanks" I assumed the seller may either pull the listing or at least edit it....it appears not. Great target for someone to buy it, wait until it turns up, rightly claim it is not as advertised and get Paypal to refund their money = free bass!

ribbetingfrog Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 if i recall correctly with fake goods you don't return the item but have to send paypal images to confirm you have destroyed the item! stops the seller reselling fake goods. there was a story a few years back where paypal insisted a possibly fake stradivaruius violin was destroyed even though it was sold as a possible fake and was still worth a mint!

Grangur Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) So it comes with a "guitar belt"? As even my old grannie would have known that that is called a strap. It beats me how folk who find valuable instruments in the loft can be so lacking in rudimentary knowledge. Besides, when did anyone here ever move house and leave a bass in the loft? That must be pretty unusual. Edited March 12, 2017 by Grangur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The guy seemed to genuinely not have a single clue about basses. He's now amended the title to simply read "Bass Guitar". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Think it's an east german 'Musima' Bass. I spotted one near to me back last year, Bassassassin I.D'd it. Didn't buy it in the end. See my thread below: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/292552-p-bass-copy-unknown-maker-any-ideas/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] That one finished at £44 Edited March 13, 2017 by LewisK1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
