Doesn't look right in many ways. I have contacted the seller with my concerns but not sure how to report to eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawelG Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Seen it on gumtree, what are your concerns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Only Japanese Squiers were Silver Series. They have Silvers Series written on the headstock. This one doesn't. This one has a grounding strip. Only the Japanese Squiers had the grounding strip going from the bridge to the back pickup, like the Jazz basses in the early 60s did. The Korean models didn't (as far as I am aware). The serial number, which starts E10, shows that the neck was manufactured in Korea, in 1987/88 Edited June 23, 2017 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Señor Jones says, the words 'Silver Series' at the end of the headstock gives the game away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawelG Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Well, the more I know... I'm assuming he would let it go for 150GBP. It looks like a decent bass for the price though, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
