tombboy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Another person with 'full stop and capital letter' phobia!! LOL! Definately not a genuine Stingray in the pic (enlarge the pic and shake your head violently from side to side.... perfect focus!!), wrong shape bridge. £850? Ripped off I think!!

Hamster Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ummmmm - clear pictures (to include the headstock) will get a more detailed response from the forum, but as said above - it ain't no genuine Stingray unless it's been modified. What is the exact description of the guitar on the receipt? Hamster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this seems a bit fishy if you dont mind me saying. Its 100% not a Musicman and I wouldnt part with £850 for a possible Tanglewood. Some proof of purchase or clearer photos would be nice, these seems purposely blurred with the headstock hidden. Also with it having gone up as a Tanglewood before, you must realise what it isnt. If there is nothing to hide then whack up some fresh pictures man. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) If you go on (Captain) Birdeye's profile there are pictures from the last time he put it up including those of the headstock. However, unfortunately these are blurred as well but I can report that with aid of an electron microscope there does not appear to be a logo present! The mystery deepens .......

So 60% of new price .. OK It's worth six quid ... ah but it needs a repaint - I think. Hard to tell without the punctuation of course "the bass was bought for 850 i have receipt next to me with bag and police line do not cross starp and a behringer bt10b 15 watt amp no jack yet but can get one if required the paint needs re doing" "The bass was bought for 850. I have [the] receipt next to me with [a] bag and "Police line! Do not cross" strap, and a Behringer BT10b 15 watt amp. No jack yet but can get one if required. The paint needs re-doing" So is it the bass that needs its paint re-doing, the Behringer amp or the missing jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Ok that's enough now. He's not trying to sell it for over the top price or trade it for a value it isn't worth. He's after a swap for a guitar of similar value. Sure - it's potentially misleading about it being a MusicMan, but now everyone knows it isn't.
