Wrong logo for it's apparent 'vintage'. Arm Contour seems wrong. Pickguard looks Wrong. 'Minor [i]makes[/i] here and there'. This is rum...

Ou7shined Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Is it just me or is it defretted too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethnalgreen Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 This is a corker ..... spelling mistakes abound and have a look at the replies to the questions that have been asked. " I think it about a 92-93 with an American serial number although it starts mn which I think inicates its Mexican" and "Q: Hi, what serial numbers can you give me of the bass, thanks. A: Hi there, Why, may I ask do you want them? Kind regards" Having said that, he gives his full business name / address phone number .... but he's some sort of recycler! Maybe that's the clue!

thebeat Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 [quote]Hi there, I think it about a 92-93 with an American serial number although it starts mn which I think inicates its Mexican.....unless you know diferent? Kind regards[/quote] The above answer to a question leads me to believe the seller may partake in crack cocaine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I switch off the moment the feedack falls below 99%. Aside 92-93 doesn't make it a vintage. I do like his questions and answers "Q: Hi, what serial numbers can you give me of the bass, thanks. A: Hi there, Why, may I ask do you want them? Kind regards" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Looks like you are all a bit quicker than me when I use cut and paste! Nobody had commented when I started typing. I'd be rubbish in a gun fight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Retarded seller alert. Don't think it's a premeditated scam, the seller plainly knows nothing about basses, Fenders or "Precissions" and their research has not extended beyond "it says "Fender" on the end, Fenders are expensive and it's not new so it's vintage". No way they noticed the plywood oversprays. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Apart from the tag, it's not Fender - simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethnalgreen Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I posted another question to the seller asking again for the serial number. His response: "As already stated, it has a Mexican prefix but these are usually followed by 5 digits. This however has 6 digits as would an American instrument. So on this particular guitar its not clear cut. The year of manufacture is 93" He's very secretive isn't he. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 "Business Seller Information Greenlane Recycling & Reuse unit 1 bridge farm yard pe12 0ss spalding, Lincolnshire United Kingdom" What are the chances he found this on his rounds saw Fender on it then looked on ebay at vintage Fenders and decided he was on to a winner?

budget bassist Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 i have no sympathy for whoever buys that, it's obviously not a fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
