W1_Pro Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) So there's this [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-style-precision-PB-50-relic-vintage-bass/272673782946?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D44293%26meid%3D8bdc8d28b8814ccc945c50eb60569a85%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D112406961443"]http://www.ebay.co.u...%3D112406961443[/url] Harley Benton PB 50. Apparently relic'ed - looks like some random paint chipping to me. I'm really not getting his pricing strategy. It's BIN at £115 plus a P&P cost of £18.99. A new one from Thoman at todays exchange rate is £93.60 plus £10 delivery. So thats a premium of about thirty quid over a new bass. Have I missed something? Edited May 22, 2017 by W1_Pro Quote

bartelby Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 A few random knocks and you can pretend the 'D' marker is also a bit of mojo... Quote
BassApprentice Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 TBF it does come with D'addario Chromes which are ~£30+ He also says he has removed the top layer of varnish, can't see it in the photos but they could be poor photos. Quote
