Nice bass...hold on, it's mine!

[gjones]

I was just browsing on Ebay (as you do) and saw a very nice MIM 70s reissue Fender Jazz Bass for sale. But looking at it a bit closer, it appeared VERY familiar.

It should be, because it was my bass!

I had to go and check that it was still in my guitar rack (it was).

The seller had just nicked the photos from Bassdirect's advertisement and put them up on Ebay as their own.

Strangely, the seller lives in Edinburgh too.

I reported it to Ebay and they've taken it down.

Or possibly, the seller didn't have a bass at all and just wanted people to head to his house to collect the fictional bass, whereupon they would be quickly dispatched and eaten.

They did have Collection in person as an option!
