[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1350461076' post='1839047'] Well found, now you mention it, I thought I'd seen it before! So it looks real but a scam? [/quote] Looks very much like it. The original US ad' was 2010 or 2011.

Er.. guys.. [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1958-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-SUNBURST-/220728315139"]http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1958-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-SUNBURST-/220728315139[/url] Pictures look familiar? Wear on the back is identical, as are the curtains ......

And bank transfer only? I'm thinking Hijacked profile, and someone finding themselves either bass-less and 2 grand down or looking at a very expensive fake.

shouldn't it have (or at least have evidence of having) a strap button onnthe rear of the headstock?

[quote name='RichF' timestamp='1350111005' post='1834609'] £50!!! what the ****! It's hit and miss whether the seller would have to pay an excess to have someone take it off his hands. Crazy world. [/quote] It's probably "Mark D Phillips" thats bid on it. There will be a gurning picture of our Beardy friend holding it in various poses witha £200+ pricetag soon!

Bought Andy's Mexican P - great bloke, great coms, very well packaged, and delivered right when he said.

Looks more like the Septic tank leaked into the cellar and he used it to bale it out...

If someone made a car that looked like an Aston Martin for the price of a Focus, with the Focus's reliability then the people who bought it are unlikely to be in the same demographic as those who'd buy a genuine Aston. I'd probably buy a Rickenbacker copy but I'm not likely to buy a Rickenbacker. Sorry to the brand snobs (Same as those who get huffy when people say a MIM or Squier cannot be as awesome as a USA made bass). You hardly stand there and think "Hmmm.. do I buy a Real rolex or a knock-off?". If you have the cash you buy a real one.

To poorly quote Billy Sheehan on anything with more than four strings "I have a couple of five strings at home. I find most people dont give enough time to get good on a four string first" *interviewer* -"How long is that?" *Sheehan* - "About 20 years" or something like that

If he was a dog breeder, the RSPCA would have him on a pole outside the tower of london...

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1349514923' post='1827185'] Looks like a Badass in the video, but other pics show a standard CV high mass bridge with brass saddles. The pickup has massive pole pieces like an SPB-3 Quarter Pounder though, and there's no tone control!

[/quote] That one is probably his personal one at a guess

I have a '96 MIM coming next week courtesy of here. I've owned a 76, had the pleasure of playing a 67 and I've tried MIJ genuine and copies, plus a whole host of copies. Can't comment on the MIM till it gets here, but I genuinley prefer my 70's MIJ Maya copy over the '76 I owned, reminds me of my mates old 67. Tried a Musicman and hated it. A great bass player will get a good sound out of a cheap set-up, whereas it doesnt matter how much cash you throw about a c*** one will still sound c***. Sure I'd likje a late 70's P again, but thats a mixture of nostalgia and "Label Blindness". Probably rather have a couple of Greco's or Tokai Hardpunchers for the same money. It's about what youre comfortable with. Not "I spent a thousand on a bass so I'm superior to you, and you only say different because you're jealous that you cant afford it"

Saw this the other day. Looks nice, agree about the Matt Freeman though. Wouldn't mind both to be fair.

he outbid me on a Japcrap bass a while ago. Then promptly destroyed the truss rod with his expert "Guitar Improving" skills and tried to sell the neck..

+1 again for the PF500. They got a bad pres a while ago, only ever had an issue with a dodgy cab at a dodgy rehersal place. It's portability is great - I shove the head in a bag and use it for rehersals through the studio's Peavey 1x15. Not tried the GK but I love my PF-500 to bits.

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1348258829' post='1811646'] That is the only bass I've ever liked with white pickup covers. [/quote] The White ones on my Maya will be going when/if I get some more Wizards

My latest P '70s Maya Japcrap. After a good set-up, it plays like butter. Just need to get a set of Wizards for it possibly...

Is that one that Fender? Maya-be, We should link up to the Sattelite and ask Columbus. Or jump on a Hondo and see if he will Grant us a viewing?

On the plus side you've widened your musical vocabulary by learning songs you may not have played before, as well as giving your confidence a shot in the backside. It's a win for you.

Seller has said Case is not original fender. And it's a Mexican model that has been "tarted up" by the place that sold it alledgedly. I'd take that with a pinch of salt but it looks ok
