Bassassin Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Piece of nasty plywood Korean or Taiwanese garbage from the mid 70s. That's the £350 one I'm talking about. I wouldn't pay more than £60 for that (£30 at a car boot), the other one I'd just chuck back in the skip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binky_bass Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I've just sent the seller the below message. It really infuriates me when people hide under a guise of ignorance in order to con people. "I see you're still selling this as a Fender when you know it isn't, so unless you've cancelled the auction or amended it to be truthful within 24 hours, I'm going to bid £1000 on it to ensure I win it, then if you post it to me, once it arrives I shall open a dispute with eBay that it isn't a Fender and get my money back, as per eBay rules, you'll be responsible for covering return postage. Or if I win and you don't send it, then I'll lodge a complaint that you've not sent me the item I've won. So be a decent human and either withdraw the bass and relist with a truthful description, or I'll bid, and win, and we'll go through the motions laid out above. Thanks." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 44 minutes ago, Jus Lukin said: Hmmm... good spot! Agreed, I see loads of examples of that old bass (there are several variations, Japanese & Korean/Taiwanese, all with the same design) and never noticed it before. The Gibson even 'borrows' that overt curve on the control part of the scratchplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
