bassaussie Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Could be a shill - one of the really keen bidders is an Ebay newbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for one but there's no way I'm paying £300 for one! Bit of lacquering - £7, replacement decal £10, tuners £40 tops maybe. It does look a good job though. Even got the 'made in USA' and the 'serial no' on the rear (even though there seems to be no actual number. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve[/quote] Hi Steve If you look at USA sites under 'Allparts neck' there's plenty of them. Personally, I like used neck 'cos you know they've been played in and I hate the feel of new ones. I picked up a lovely maple/mpale Precision neck for under £70 recently, but generally speaking you have to be quick on the BIN key to get them (it's why I suggested this forum; so often something comes up that's a real BIN bargain but you don't need it. You know however that if one of us doesn't get it, a dealer will). I'll let you know if I see anything Steve Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelboy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'd been watching that from £175............what a stoopid price! I think it was about £230-ish from Allparts UK plus the extra still makes it lower than the ebay price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
