Repos....

Here's the original ad - sold for £580 back in February.

Personally I think it's bad form to gyppo-flip an Ebay purchase while the listing you bought it from's still linked from your feedback - always wait the 3 months for it to be auto-deleted.

I'd also have thought £580 was a bit dear for what is basically a bitsa with a Geddy neck, but whatever...

Surly the whole point of a GL (ignoring the minutely thinner neck) is the pup position?

Oh and they don't only come in Black.

So what you are paying for is a 2006 Mexican standard body with a Geddy neck and a baddass? Well, it sounds like a great deal to me. I must remember to bid on it, right after I put my goolies in the door and slam it shut several times.

I love the fact that it is 'NEW' despite being a bitsa bass and now onto at least it's 2nd owner... trade descriptions anyone?

[warwickhunt]

I asked the guy a straight question; is the bass a genuine Geddy Lee and have the neck and body always been together.

Very clever reply - "Genuine MIJ Geddy with Fender fitted jazz body"

Now he has said Fender fitted Jazz body but Fender fitted it to what?

[Bassassin]

The Bitsa That Would Not Die. How many times has he relisted that now?

He may have to get used to the idea of making a loss on this one, eventually. But profiteering via Ebay is a learning curve. Quite steep sometimes, it would seem.

The latest response from the guy (I asked for the serial number)... "This is a genuine Geddy Lee C086833 which was customized by fender. Basically the G & L body would normally be black, it was changed for a jazz bass body as described in advert, by fender because a coloured body was required at the time for a video shoot and the black did not show up well."

Er nope. GLs do also come in 3TSB.
Apart from him getting in a mucking fuddle between G&L and GL I think you should introduce him to the fact that the defining feature of a GL is the '70s bridge pup position.

[Bassassin]

And remind him that [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-GEDDY-LEE-BLUE-CUSTOM-NEW-UNPLAYED_W0QQitemZ120523901893"]when he bought it for £580 a couple of months ago[/url], the original seller was quite clear that it had been built from bits, and didn't say anything at all about a "video shoot".

I know it's dodgy as feck, but, i really like how this looks.

Stick on a Black Pickguard, winner.

Just realised that the serial number he quoted to me has had the first character changed from a Q on the original sale to a C... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he misread it and isn't in fact trying to stop someone from ascertaining what bass the serial number actually refers to!

In some respects I don't care that he is trying to resell the bass for a profit (he's an online shop) but it's the fact that he's blatantly changing the facts surrounding this bass.

I have no problem with Ebay profiteering - it's part of the game as far as I'm concerned. But this guy is blatantly lying to try & sell a parts bass that he already paid over the odds for.
