I hope whoever's bid on this understands it's not a Fender!

If bassmeg is still looking, this Westbury Track 2 bass is less overpriced than others. With the original hard case, £200 starting bid might be OK if you got it for that. Jon knows prices better, but for what it's worth I'll say that I think £200 would be an OK price but not a bargain. Also note Jon's comments that the bridges on these can be a bit dodgy.

£310 including p&p for a Columbus. Each to their own I suppose.

This is the worst deal I've seen for quite some time... Buyer apparently can't read carefully. Ugly, worn piece of plywood sh!t for the price of nice bass? The world's doomed!

I thought that there have been some good deals on ebay recently, such as the Japanese Squier p-bass. But, as you say, the Columbus is an awful deal. I wonder if the buyer will continue thinking that it's a Fender, and will try to sell it as a real Fendrr some day?

I think you'r right.

I've just sold a lovely Fender Japan '75 Jazz for about £100 more!

Some stuff is a bargain but other time you just wonder what someone was thinking.

Wish they'd buy something off me!!

Oooo I like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-TSB550-Through-Neck-Bass-1980-MIJ-Matsumoku-Brill-/280689880159?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item415a6bac5f"]this[/url] - bit much for my pockets but lovely all the same.

Yes, although it's a shame he calls it "The early 90's model" when they stopped being made in '87.
A typo perhaps?
