Happy Jack Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 We've seen this guy before. He's not nuts, he's using eBay as an extremely cheap form of advertising. That listing for "one pickguard screw" has probably cost him 50p but it has told several thousand vintage Fender enthusiasts that he is selling off vintage parts, and told them how to contact him. As if that wasn't enough, he now has BassChat pointing potential buyers at his site for no extra cost. Crazy? Like a fox. Quote

The Bass Doc Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 [quote name='Hutton' date='Feb 9 2009, 10:48 AM' post='404105'] Come on now. This just can't be serious! Afraid this guy is serious - I've followed his ads for some time (just for laughs). I reckon he will sell each one of the screws separately @ £10 each but just wait till he gets to the last one! - the price will rocket because of it's uniqueness Quote
Al Heeley Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I asked him if there was any saving to be had for multiple purchases. He said there was only one being offered but he'd sell me a pack of genuine Fender ones for £36. I though I'd hold out for a pack of new ones. Seriously I question anyone that is that anal about having vintage screws on a vintage bass. Now bridge or pickups I can understand, but a pickgurad screw? D'oh. Quote
Huggy and the Bears Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Hmmmm... hate to be pedantic but Avengers were a '70s car not 60's! Hee hee! Quote

OldGit Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 As someone pointed out before totally orginal 74 jazz with one screw missing £2000 with full set of screws £2500 ... So how mad is he? Not as mad as the collectors ... Quote

"Former President George Bush Sr. was shot down by the Japanese while flying an Avenger during World War Two. Their huge popularity presented a problem for Grumman and they had to contract much of the production out to General Motors Corporation. Grumman completely ceased production of the Avenger in December of 1943 and General Motors continued production. Of the 9836 Avengers built, 7546 came off of the assembly lines of General Motors."
