TheGreek Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 "New unused in original packaging. Never been tuned or used" I'm in no way an expert in matters concerning Fenders but there are some issues even I'm not sure about. Check out the headstock transfers: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Electric-Jazz-Bass-Guitar/122858992296?hash=item1c9af772a8:g:qk8AAOSwGzhaMX3A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Oh dear That ' jazz bass ' decal was applied by a Bonobo. Crooked as hell, just like the seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonteee Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Isn't it still wet from the waterslide in the photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy515 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Ive asked where this pretend Fender was manufactured. This will be interesting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonteee Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Further reading of the listing shows a HB-esque fake tort guard and odd proportioning. Of greater concern is the fact that here are bids on the thing. Some poor people may be about to be fleeced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Check the neck pickup. Looks like its just the cover. There's no poles showing. This is one oddball bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 The bridge is also wrong, Fender don't use screws at the front of the bridge, it's local to me maybe I could snap up a right bargain, maybe not though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Ah, ok. He's just a comedian having a giraffe. Panic over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 There are folks bidding on this - I hope it doesn't go high! Someone will be buying it thinking they've got a Fender instrument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonteee Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Time left: 5d 10h (20 Dec, 2017 19:22:09 GMT) £216.00 - 18 bids Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Just took a look at it, and it has been "removed" This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing. Yes, like it wasn't even new & unused - let alone not a Fender.... Edited December 15, 2017 by Marc S 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowla Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I reported it too - these fake fenders really hack me off. (There was one last week described as "upgraded" with a waterslide decal...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinorange Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It has been re-listed now but as a non genuine fender. No sh☆t...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It's still got a Fender logo on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Looks like a Thomann deco that has had the headstock re-shaped and a transfer applied. Think the cover has just popped off the actual pick-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
