Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) It's ten minutes down the road from me. Shall I try to go & have a looksie? edit: Just emailed that I'd like to pop around. It looks more like a US reissue from the pics. Not saying that's what I think it is, as it *could* have been kept in time capsule condition. I've heard of basses played for a few months & put away in the past. I'm normally pretty good with knowing what's what with Fenders, but I'm definitely more knowledgeable about mustangs than jazzes and anything mid 70s onwards. Does anyone know what to look for which could help confirm is it not a doctored reissue for certain?

Happy Jack Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 bWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Did you ask whether his uncle had a loft? Lofts are very popular in Aberdeen, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 At least you have the option of going to see the stuff first..After the "weird" thread the other day you may want to take a friend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Whereabouts in Aberdeen? Original link not working, perhaps you scared him off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Its obvious that there is no bass & the offer of picking it up from Aberdeen is a bluff. I bet his preferred method of payment is western union - probably picked up on another continent. I don't really have time to scambait. If I ask for a photo of the bass on today's paper and standing against the front door of the address in Aberdeen (to check against streetview) I bet I'll not hear back from him.

Happy Jack Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Why didn't you offer to pay him cash, but he'd have to collect it from Penzance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
