In fairness, the seller does say "you might want to restring it as the d and g strings are on the opposite pegs. I only did it because I trimmed the g too short after boiling it and flats are pricey!"

At least they'll have some cash for new flats once they sell the bass! Seems a good price for a Mex Fender...?

I do hate it when they don't iron the duvet cover used as a backdrop......
