I think eBay (like other selling platforms) have noticed the drop off since HMRC have been looking more closely at sellers?

He’s lucky the ‘Rickbots’ haven’t tracked him down?

WTF!

Like the look of those. Thanks

So, I’m finally getting around to putting some basses on wall hangers. Only issue is that the wall is unfinished/rough and I’m wondering how to protect the body from scratches? Please don’t recommend wallpaper.🤔

More like 130k for a copy of a bass played by someone famous? I’m sure a jazz music fan or bass fanboy will buy it. I don’t get the point of these signature basses. You can pay £1M for this and you still won’t play like Jaco, but if you gave jaco some cheapo instrument out of a catalogue he’d still sound good. The funks in the fingers!

Yes, in his description he mentions tone?

Even the postage has been ‘improved’

That’s probably the secret to getting ‘that tone’ everyone was asking for?

People forget how eBay really bite your donkey with their fees these days? I usually only rub my thighs about Wal’s, but boy that’s a beautiful thing!

As above. Be confident. Stay off your headphones. Be alert. You’ll be fine. Leave the Rolex and Moncler at home!

It’s almost as though someone who’s never seen a guitar before was given a kit of parts and no instructions?

on the plus side, the carry handle looks comfy?

Oh my days! You could drive a bus under those strings, and the ‘D’ is still buzzing?

No, that’s setting the string height on the treble side!

I think the pick guard needs another ‘try’ to properly match up with the body mods

Yikes!

Have you actually measured the neck relief to see how out of spec it is?

Hi Jack, I’ll have a punt on these if that’s ok. How do you want paying?

Hey Andy, love the pics! But once she hits 13yrs, all hell is gonna break loose! Trust me! My two boys were nothing in comparison! Fighting, crashing cars and competing over everything is nothing compared to the psychological torture of teenage daughters! Enjoy the ride?😊

The seller has nicely 'sidestepped' dating anything or committing to what is or isn't genuine?

How much of this do we feel is 'original'? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Fretless-Jazz-Bass-80s/184374194763?hash=item2aed8ef24b:g:TW4AAOSwBztfGcDI

Thanks

Can anyone recommend a seller

I watched a few of Guy’s videos and found them entertaining, especially the anecdotes. I’m not sure he’s in competition with Pino as much as he feels he is? Really surprised he got the MJ gig, not that Guy isn’t up to the job of course. I’m also amazed at some of his output. Plus I’m sure he’s writing skills and affable nature help. Sad to hear that he had a hard time on this forum, that’s very disappointing. I wish that the amazing John Giblin would do a ‘lockdown licks’ channel. His back catalogue is truly epic!
