Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Looks like an aftermarket neck plate and the photo of the Fender hang tag is for a Jazz bass not a P-Bass -- No serial no -- I would be very wary!

Not worth £400?

 

Seller seems more interested in showing some scabby old hang tag & a £5 Ebay fanboy neckplate than the actual bass.

 

I'm sure they've got nothing to hide, though.

 

 

Edit - pretty sure that's the first AI-generated sales pitch I've ever read.

Yes I’ve noticed the emergence of eBay listings with this obviously AI generated wording.

"...has a total of 20 frets on its pine fretboard"

 

PINE?? Really? 

There are multiple red flags fluttering in the breeze right now.

Run away!

Its a Squier Affinity with a fake decal and a shítload of aftermarket parts.

 

A photo of the back of the headstock showing the serial number is conspiculous by its absence.

That’s what I thought too and the hang tag is nothing to do with that bass 

[prowla]

That description is utterly ridiculous.

 

It's a shame the AI can't help them out by reading the headstock on this one...

The seller says there no serial number or Country of manufacture anywhere on the bass.....

And you would sand them off....why? 😁

If you wanted to take your playing to the next level, that's why. You fellas must be happy with the level you're already on. This is not the bass for you, only for those looking to move to the next level.
