There are 2 separate listings for 2 of these basses which are virtually identical, on Ebay at the moment.One has a BIN of £80,the other BIN is £395.I've got a Squier P5 but it looks nothing like these.Which of the 2 prices is nearest the mark,do you think?I believe they're known as Pro-Tone models.Heres the link for the other one [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Squire-Pro-Tone-5-String-Precision-Bass-Rare-/330560834157?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4cf6f60a6d#ht_5440wt_932"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Squire-Pro-To...d#ht_5440wt_932[/url]

never seen either of them before, they do look almost identical, difficult to say cos the cheaper one's photo is fuzzy and distant, the seller of the cheaper one also has a tarnished record whereas the seller for the more expensive one has a good record and also his other stuff sesems to have sold for about the right price.

The cheaper one's seller has a 'fake' slur in his feedback so it may not be what he says it is, you could at least ask him for some better photos showing the details of it to compare with the more expensive one?

His feedback is quite interesting, especially when you look at the transactions with aimeereed:

08/03/11: mrbrownesq bought from aimeereed2010 some shoes
02/02/11: aimeereed2010 bought from mrbrownesq --
17/07/10: aimeereed0 bought from mrbrownesq a red squier p-bass
17/07/10: aimeereed0 bought from mrbrownesq an ibanez guitar
28/02/10: aimeereed0 bought from mrbrownesq --?
28/02/10: aimeereed0 bought from mrbrownesq an adidas tracksuit top
15/12/09: mrbrownesq bought from aimeereed0 --
15/12/09: mrbrownesq bought from aimeereed0 a leather jacket
15/12/09: mrbrownesq bought from aimeereed0 a men's jumper
03/12/09: mrbrownesq bought from aimeereed0 --

What an interesting exchange of items - men's jumpers, a Hugo Boss leather jacket for £15, and two instruments? :) It could almost send a shill down your spine.

Incidentally, for that last transaction both partners left each other the feedback comment "great e-bayer, thnanks!" (note the spelling!).

And if you still trust this customer, note what he's just bought:
01/04/11: mrbrownesq bought a gibson les paul replica
19/04/11: mrbrownesq bought a les paul style truss rod cover

Oh, and note that this is the third red squier p-bass he's sold! :)

Hmmmm (twirls moustache) verrrry interrrresting.I noticed that the 'Fake' slur was for a Fred Perry shirt.But I still like the bass.I wonder which of the 2 prices is the most realistic though.I only paid £80 for mine second hand,but it's just the regular P5 with 2 J-type pickups.

And here's the story:

"Hi, seriously interested in your Squire P Bass but can't figure out the model.
any chance of some more details or better pictures, particularly close up of the headstock. You can send to [email protected]
Also, would you package up for collection?
Cheers,
S"

Answer within minutes:

"Hi, unfortunately my girlfriend put a photo of this guitar on e-bay. i have two red bass'. cheers for your interest though...think i would buy it again for that price! cheers
- mrbrownesq"

Think he's pissed his girlfriend off?

I wonder if his girlfriend is aimeereed0 (No longer a registered user), or perhaps the coincidentally similarly-named, and local, aimeereed2010 (of Eastbourne)? Makes you wonder, eh?
