bubinga5 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I spotted this add, where this guy is trying to palm off this bass as a 62 RI..he says its got a 70's neck? what with 60's decals?... he also calls it a stacked knob jazz..erm, i dont think so.. look at those tuners from the back, there not even straight.. gets on my nerves when people try and rip people off... am i missing something?

Clarky Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Where to start - its just WRONG! I especially like the line "Beautifully figured ash body" considering it is invisible under that thick yellow paint finish. Its a bitsa being palmed off as a Fender Edited June 28, 2011 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 From the pic, I'm not sure what that is, but the neck *looks like* it came from a squier with stuck on pearlyblocks & logo. It looks like the stacked knobs are the type that Fender put on some active Jazzes & are available as parts from various ebay sellers. The cheapo tuners are about as wonky as I've ever seen.

Given the junk on gumtree, I'd be amazed if they've ever pulled anything, no matter how dodgy. Of course, I'd love to hear otherwise, but until then I'll rely on gumtree being primarily for amusement purposes only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh2 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Cripes! Who put those machines on? Cheapo MiM/Squier types. Where is the gloss on the back of the neck? What colour is that?! What are those pups? Where am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
