TheGreek Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I like that...except the huge knobs. You're right though, at £250 looks like a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens all the time, and I don't think there's a solution to it because its simply too common an issue for eBay to individually look at each advert and understand the subtlety of how it, basically, messes up a search for "Fender" stuff, and thus delete the ads. AND it relies on others reporting the adverts as such. Obviously if you were a genuine buyer and not a complete idiot you'd know, and notice, the difference if you really wanted a Fender. When I was looking for one, I had to wade through many Squiers which were misdescribed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem now is that I don't trust things straight off anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body looks stripped too. It would have major neck dive too cos they were extremely lightweight basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Its not a Fender........well not 100% or even 95% Fender, with a Squier neck (and logo) on it. TBH, there's so many complete, unmolested Fenders out there that a modified one, IMHO, is always devalued unless the mods are very sympathetic, worthwhile or subtle (such as a scratchplate change, but not a pickup change, and definitely not one where they've used the first screws they had lying around, and even then only fitting half of them). So a neck change, for me, stops it from claiming to be a "Fender". YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squier neck means that selling it as a "fender bass guitar" is upbranding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
