I could do with getting this gone before my hold so price now £30 posted.....that's cheap for an EMG pup isn't it?
For sale EMG active precision pickup just taken out of a hybrid bass that really should have stayed as a jazz but that's another story.....
Was working fine when I rescued the jazz bass.
As the jazz was from the late 80s and the pup was in it from new (ish) I'm assuming this is one if the original EMG active precision pups plus the newer ones have terminal block connections I think.
Condition is OK, used and not mint by any means with part of the EMG having rubbed off. Wiring instructions can be found online.
Now £40 including UK postage. Will post anywhere though.
It’s easy to report the item to eBay.
open up the item, check for that dodgy advert type I mentioned above and the in the top right corner there are 3 dots next to the shopping basket. Click the 3 dots and one of the options from the drop down menu is to report the item to eBay. I choose “listing practices, fraudulent activity and you suspect the item is fraudulent” and submit. The window looks like the pic below.
That was my thoughts and I was going to say why would someone fake a mex.
Still, now verified as a true Geddy, then it was a bargain as they’re selling for between £500 & £600.
This is the same account hacker or hackers. They’re a bit obvious as when you go to the listing details they always ask you if you are ready for a deal and if so to email so as to complete the deal off eBay. The email is always the same but the eBay seller ID is different (as the account is has been hacked) but all the listings are similar in content.
It seems eBay are relying on the punters like us to inform them of bogus listings. I keep reporting them when they crop up - so should all of us.
When I spot another I’ll post a pic of the typical ad content so we can continue to serve the public with our vigilantism!!!!! Hope we don’t report any genuine ones along the way. I’d hate to miss a genuine 62 P bass with a buy it now of £999.
I’ve got one and at £250 they’re a great addition to the home studio. All the bits work on mine and the apptek port works well with iPad / iPhone guitar / bass simulation apps. They take it from a useful practice amp to a great sim amp.
Somebody posting a Mexican Fender P bass has wisely painted over the serial number to acquire a matching headstock. Or have they? Is it a Mex or not?

Unless you have £455 that you don’t want.
If you really don’t want £455 and fancy nothing for it, then I can find a home for it.....
Seriously though it looks just like the eBay scams stating that all bids / offers will be rejected and that completion is to be off eBay. To be fair to eBay they seem to be shutting those ads down very quickly now.
