stingrayPete1977 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Im certain its been relic'd but does he know that? Why would it have that much wear and in the places it has? Also I presume the top coat would check like the MM basses as Ou7shined said anyway and come off in lumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skej21 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Yup. Tell him you're a collector and really interested but suspect something fishy is going on and see how he attempts to resolve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I guess he will just say Im free to come and look at it anyway. Anyone live near enough to have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is at least two folk on BC that live in the same town as him, so he could be a member - I'm one of them - but I ain't him, honest Guv.

It was that bloody bass - dude got in touch via gumtree offering a trade and just sent the pic's through! I feel rather pink faced about the whole thing now (blush) Cheers for the heads up guys. Looks like next time I'll not be so keen to move my excess gear. Disaster officially averted! Ou7shined I owe you a pint![/quote] and our hero saves, once again, the bass world from destruction!
