Part of me just thinks that if you were to deal in this stuff all the time, you'd know to remove the stickers and be honest about the condition. You'd also make mention to the fact that it is basswood.
The lazy voice in my head is saying buy it, basswood isnt bad, the stickers will come off and all the holes are predrilled for the bridge and the routing for the pickups is finished. Just pop the bits on and play. the relicing is fine as its for a "gigging" bass.
Already used up my offers on this guy. Cheeky enough, his final offer to me was for £95.00 - and now hes selling it for less.
Everything says no and yet - i might still do it.
