Marky L Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300371269681&_trksid=p2761.l1259"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...sid=p2761.l1259[/url] Not much info, crappy pics.. has to be too good to be true?!?! What do you think? I have a hankering for an early - late 70's P in B/B/M. I have asked for the seller to email me more pics, so we'll see what arrives.

Ou7shined Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 You've done all you can for the moment. Looks like he/she is into a lot of different things judging by his other items for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 This looks about right...S7 '77, Logo looks bob on. Patina/tint of neck seems good. Hard to tell if the bass has been monkied with, seeing how the photos are sooo sh*te. I think £1200 would be my stopping point on this, buy it now £2000? To words, off and F*ck. If he expects £2k, he better buy a new camera first. It seems he's a player rather than a gear head, so fair play for the lack of spec, the two guitarists in my band don't know what a truss rod is.

Marky L Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Here's a couple of pics he's emailed me. Not much better! [attachment=37438:74_p_hstock.jpg] [attachment=37437:74_p_body.jpg] The shot of the body looks like the jack end of the scratchplate has been broken at some point and if this is a '74 wouldn't there be a screw in the middle of the scratchplate too? As is, the serial number - s746580 - is a 77 or 78, so he's got the year somewhat wrong. I did ask some other questions about originality, if he has pics of the neck pocket and the neck stamp but nothing on those. Not feeling overly comfortable about this seeing as I'm not going to get a chance to see it first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyTravis Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 and £2000 for that set of dinks around the rib contour? Pissssowf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 It may be an inexperienced seller with very poor photography skills. However I always feel with vintage kit you have to be overly cautious as missing out on a great sale is far better than getting ripped off (even if not the sellers fault) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
