He should look out for a spell-checker the next time he's at the car booter.

Musicmaster? But in way he's right. It seems that people are singing OLP praises more now than they used to. I guess if you spend under £100 on a Nordstrand and one of those MM circuits that you get off the 'bay and bung it in one of these then you've got a nice sounding bass for a fraction of the price of a real MM.

Rather more successful than his original attempt with the tag line "ass sells".... C'mon this is a bass forum after all.

Blinking flip!

You should see how much the left handed ones go for.

'Tis.

Which is a shame really as with a BIN of £130 and all the easy clues (like mentioning the real manufacturer) you couldn't expect it to be genuine. There have been far sneakier ones got through the net.

21 frets.

Pretty simple songs for a "hugely experienced bass player". If I were trying to impress I'd put down the more difficult stuff myself.

Big John must have told him to do it.

As some of you know, I'm currently building this... although some details have changed since this post production "sketch".

And oddly enough the Jazz bass that was constantly relisted by someone trying to expose him as a supposed fraud was CAR as well. Perhaps he only had a little left over. [/quote]

The Doc wrote a script for a Badass II and I'm cured. You the man Howard. Cheers. Rich.

[quote name='Beedster' post='788141' date='Mar 27 2010, 07:42 PM']You only need to spend a few minutes on US eBay or Talkbass to realise just how impressed/obsessed/crazy our American friends are for original Fender stuff. This is VERY overpriced but the seller knows his market, and he'll no doubt eventually sell it at close to what he's asking now. '64 is a magical year for Fender stuff also C[/quote] I suppose so. There's nowt so queer.... One other thing, how do we know it's a real '64?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='788094' date='Mar 27 2010, 06:57 PM']I'm still trying to figure out what kind of fcukwit sands off the finish whilst the bridge and scratchplate are still in place! [/quote] I'm not sure it was sanded. Looks like it was taken down with a blunt cheese grater. I have no comprehension of why it would be worth that much. I mean once you restore it (fully) you won't see it, all you have is bragging rights that it is there.
