On the Adele pic you can just make out some grain showing as a white line going to the bottom of the top horn throughout the body if you know what to look for. That appears on my bass and on the pic on ebay if you blow the pic up. The case in the pic is also the same as mine, the pocket tag has curled, and on the edge by the handle there is an airport bar code sticker that is peeling off. I'm 90% sure the bass I have is genuine. There are lots of better videos of the guy playing this bass on Youtube so I'm convinced he is the guy I met. To be honest I'm not an Adele fan and I got the bass for a good price, It's just annoying that he can advertise the same bass again.

I've tried reporting it but you have more chance of contacting the dead than you have contacting a live person at ebay.

He had an ad on ebay at the same time, which ran until the end of the listing and I thought he had forgotten to cancel it. When it ended he renewed it again (a few days ago, I've had the bass for three weeks). To be honest It's a great bass, I'm happy with it and I'm convinced that the bass in the ad is the bass I've got, but I'd hate someone else to get scammed thinking they were buying something that may not be what it seems.

[color=#282828]The guy had the same bass for sale elsewhere, same pics, same wording in the ad. I bought it and he signed a letter saying the bass was toured by him and played by Adele (he is the guy in the Letterman video unless he has a twin). The bass and case I own have the same marks on the case and grain showing through the paint. Not sure how he can sell the same bass twice. I've contacted him through ebay, but no reply as yet.[/color] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Precision-Bass-57-reissue-Toured-with-and-Played-by-ADELE-/151345817853?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item233ce9e8fd"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item233ce9e8fd[/url]

Just bought a Genz Benz combo from Gareth. Everything was fine and he was a gent to deal with, I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again!
