Could you tell me if it can get close to that?

Another vote here for Kent Armstrong pick ups. Very good for the money IMHO.

Bought a power supply from Whizzzy. Exactly as discribed and super quick delivery. All in all a top fella to deal with.

Hi, don't take this as a complaint, just letting you know this for reference. I was receiving email notifacations for my pm's until a couple of days ago, but now i'm not. It's not a big deal for me as i come onto the site every day anyway, just thought you may want to know.

Good call.
How did you find out their email - doesn't ebay disguise that these days?
[/quote]

Looked at sellers feedback, found the item, clicked on the buyers id then sent a message.

Just sent the buyer a link to this thread. Normally i wouldn't interfere, but as both Ebay and the seller were aware that this item was fake, i think it's only fair that the buyer should know what he's really bought, and gets the chance to do something about it maybe.

Thanks for that, that's this years Xmas present sorted then

Lovely Spector. I don't have anything that I want to trade unfortunately, but good luck

Thanks, i've been having a noodle on it tonight and it would be fair to say that i'm definatly torn over this one.

i would love the westbury , would post to rep of ireland or maybe my mate near ipswich

I will look into posting.

First up we have a Squire Standard (not Affinity) Jazz Bass in antique burst. In very good condition, i bought this to see if i was more of a Jazz person than a Precision person. I wasn't. I have shielded all the cavitiys and rewired using CTS pots, a switchcraft jack socket and cloth covered wire, and she is strung with a new set of Fender flatwounds. There is one small problem, and that is that since re-wiring her i can't for the life of me remember where i put the control knobs, so she is currently knobless, but a replacement set shouldn't cost more than a few quid on the 'bay. £125

Next up is a Matsumoku made Westbury Track 2. Bought a couple of years back because it was the same as my first bass, but i don't really use it so time to let it go. It's looks like it's seen some action over the years, with quite a few knocks and dings, though nothing that effects the playability. The pick-up is a Dimarzio Model P which can be switched between series and parrallel wiring and the bridge has been changed from the original (which were known for being weak and breaking) to an identical one from a Gibson/Epiphone bass. She has had a set-up and been strung with EB Extra Slinky strings. [color=#ff0000]SOLD[/color]

Lastly is my Spector NS-94. I genuinly thought that this was going to be my ideal bass, but for reasons i don't understand, i just can't seem get on with it. This is a great looking bass, and imho, the best shaped bass Spector ever produced. It's thru-necked, and features the curved body that sits just soooo well.
There is a little bit of info on them here
[url="http://www.spectorbass.com/about/model_years_3.html"]http://www.spectorba...el_years_3.html[/url]
As far as i know it's all original except that at one stage it had a de-tuner fitted which has since been removed and has been replaced with a standard style tuning peg which although not a 100% match, is very close to the originals, and that it has been fitted with straplocks.
I'm still not totally sure that i want to get rid of this so i won't put a price on it, rather see if i get any interesting trade offers. Anything with 4 strings will be considered so fire away, i can only say no. [color=#ff0000]WITHDRAWN[/color]

Please feel free to ask any questions or request extra photographs.

Man that's weird. I actually did something I've never done before and reported it. I put forward a decent case that it was a counterfeit rather than just "not as advertised". I heard nothing back but presumed that ebay would pull it.

I guess that makes ebay knowingly complicit in the distribution of counterfeit merchandise.

That makes two of us then. Shocking that the buyer knew all the time.

£ 230.87. Somebody's going to be mighty pissed if they ever find out what they really bought.

Bought a Gotoh bridge from Will. Great guy to deal with and item was exactly as discribed.

Anybody using one of these and got any feedback they'd like to share.
Cheers.

I'll take the Gotoh Bridge mate, pm me payment details.

Comparing the pictures against the two i have here i am 100% certain it's an LTD 83. They're actually a pretty good solid bass. The body is actually ash, not alder as the seller discribed, and the neck has a much flatter profile when compared to a Squire. I reported this on Saturday, but have heard nothing since, and i see it still running and been bid up to eighty-odd quid. Just for reference, the last one of bought a couple of months ago cost me £30.
