They've been trying to flog that for quite a while. Seven or eight years at least. Can't imagine why it's such a problem.

That's pretty nasty.

Today I finally collected the WAV upright I bought from Lawrie - delayed due to my illness. This is probably the fourth time I've traded with him, which tells its own story. Always one of the good guys. Thanks Lawrie!

Chinese PJ-fretless copy, with "Squier" clearly visible on the neckplate. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267302306487?itmmeta=01JYM17HN9P9GFSS44F0XG1DBJ&hash=item3e3c7582b7:g:MOUAAOSwFMloW6pS&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30kNmWc5bcXgDIO%2FPsYal5B3rPmhFhiOUHtt6ThUr7dXwnhfFEKKzzQ6opHPrRJ0ONkaQZWk1QS77%2B8Vsz4mCFUnvXkBbwFMpdsKx%2B8gSYryOJ3qGYV%2FffsXjw7RExrBijsEiHZtZXbay%2BqNrvVJkqg%2BrUQQ3OeYIzInjISjpQNJ0gl1%2FcD0Zt37%2BfK%2BysRHE%2B6AZ4QMPX16uGkCxiPQ%2Bg0c3sIpT4vovoyw3EmuSm9ike0mqWZei6%2BNeLrh3xH9T4WnYHjjvG54FnPqn0BdnYxB|tkp%3ABk9SR-KanoH1ZQ

The seller has provided pictures of the bass, and describes it as having cosmetic damage but fully functional. Errr, no. To be fair, it's possible he actually doesn't understand that it's not supposed to be like this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286668549376?itmmeta=01JYCTZZGMB1HN04SQP12EXRDH&hash=item42bec6ed00:g:g-QAAeSw1AtoV-I5&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwMHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30lTgDzPBbALadvFO7aZvxvdRVdqsbPx7XTtxwnIqo1FdQRnrNBTDarYwORSfrgnmuW4we0w4SmNOy1Et92NabOQJ4A08AIL2HeIWKwHef6UWWpdL88cRh4zoEZ1CLR3WGq7vaDZyZjrE1CmC9qKZjDYOH9p4Be2SOz2wZeoLJtS%2BADuG9%2B%2BrUHjisGUQVkSN7nn%2FnulcC9J8tFXZVcxYYQBRlik1NAV8k1s1lhfl9EQMA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7j4_5rzZQ

I bought Jay's Bass Amplug. All as advertised, good communication, promptly delivered, sensibly packed. I'd be happy to deal with Jay again. Thanks

If I read this correctly, the bass was never really a usable instrument before, with the neck being so massively out of alignment. Therefore, you have increased the number of playable double basses in the world by exactly one. Kudos to you

Nice I'm still thinking about getting mine sprayed pink. And the Tbird, too.

I bought a bass from Stuart. All went well, good packaging, quick delivery. He is - as always - one of the good guys. Thank you Stuart

Bought some strings from Paddy. This is the second time I've dealt with him, and I'd be happy to trade with him again. Thanks Paddy

I bought strings from Lee. All as advertised, prompt delivery, well packed. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Lee

1960s, I guess. The adjustment at the nut is not something I've seen before - was it a common feature at some point? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405863005694?itmmeta=01JV8VZADF5CG7YP0KVWG9S5YD&hash=item5e7f51fdfe:g:5zIAAOSwYiNoI5Nm&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30nNijOSOrzkDAnLiGf1TkSPifVn13Fdn5qXFc5XQNpEIt876IXQXLIPNRw6xHmhQ7EgtRghiJ87ly5WP8xLI23VUxjM1GW7k%2B4GcZ%2B9AMuSPBWnmYhyAZdKtWh7CiKs5%2F2258QfqWB0JNP8Ts7mI27WlogEsifognBTXEqUmI63e9bXTfFPqZtGydEqIAG1Ylg10KYpSmyo1bUvAcUknsWBGz8AFHR6vRUxwY6M5o1CzGkmCF6kkajHIeXWZgjHAtJSlyT2BbomxTRU7Nn0ThMl|tkp%3ABk9SR_Cm_ZvaZQ

In what way is this not a Fender? Or is the seller trying some sort of double bluff? (Disclaimer: I am not a Fender expert, no idea whether it's real or not.) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135779992802?itmmeta=01JTY8KWK6QC40G835HHSZ4ZX9&hash=item1f9d1e44e2:g:k9YAAOSw9aVoH4Dc&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30kKVDSD8icss%2FiyjEoYsd1GiCMyDjW93d5ml3C%2FTbxiF2EitcK3r7surnZc6wX7wX8GwjfPg1DhnLWe8ZvZY5BnkSTetIzkpyrcVVoeCip4MmRDC1bQSmeCfwK6wDbr0g0og3yNX07m8cjYER2Tg812YM0Kw%2FcyCJMxojLsR5Dvnpy9YLDwqXc2gGHWs5hfJjSQBbakSL9MCTo%2FZg6DFyn5wkRnwzoPYRdcoQI1wfg%2B96v59Q4GFDFgum2ypDj0PFoJF0JkDX4a4o9P6j62MeZO|tkp%3ABk9SR9zJz8jXZQ
