ped Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Just sent this: ------------ Hi there, I am interested in this item. Could you tell me where and when you bought the bass, weather it came with all the hardware shown (especially the ashtray covers) and the serial number (this will settle my mind about its age and exact model) Look forward to hearing from you ------------ Bear in mind my username on eBay is WWWBASSCHATCOUK !!!! ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_bass Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 As pointed out I love the fact a cover set is the last thing he bought on Ebay. What a complete & utter f*ckwit, & w*nker it goes without saying. Would have been great if every single part of that guitar was listed in his feedback as a buyer!

stoo Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I know I'm a bit late on this, but... if it was a '74/75 as claimed... wouldn't the neck have a skunk stripe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markytbass Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Without the ash trays it would look just like the no name P'basses my local shop was kicking out a year or so ago. Even down to the colour, the tuners and no skunk stripe. EDIT. To be honest I wouldn't have even offered him £300.
