Agreed I got in touch last time it was listed and had similar discussions. Information was pretty limited he also agreed to courier pickup so I’m not sure about the validity of his reason for relisting.

Agreed - I’m not a fan of the trend to disguise crap with more crap.

As Troubadour says looking at Google it appears that it’s a similar story to Dr Bass. Where a product was raved about and then sheer numbers of orders and poor management caused its downfall. The victim of its own success perhaps? https://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/showthread.php?188254-Blackpoole-Relic-Works-is-no-more!

Jon, I was looking up the story about the connection between Ned Callan and Shaftesbury and came across this ridiculously incorrect article again. Spot the mistake! I have seen this before and had pointed out the obvious errors to Rose Morris however it remains..... https://rosemorris.com/blogs/news/14900469-bobby-sands-and-his-nobbly-ned-callan-shaftesbury

Was yours a Shaftesbury version? I think the construction differed on later models. I’ve always wanted one of the Cody basses (or was it a Hombre?) - knobbly Neds - that looked like a piece from a jigsaw. This guy sells a lot of project grade instruments at inflated prices. If you look up a Google search this bass sold on Gumtree for less than £200 a few years ago. It was the same bass as it had the custom scratchplate. I’d risk it for £200 so I may PM him and see if he’s amenable to offers.

It is a nice looking bass but why professionally refinish a black bass - er - black? Not being facetious but was it that badly battered?

I know but it’s a big one! 🤣

More pics in colour would help his sale however.
