Ou7shined Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 No point emailing him. He knows what it is. He claims to know nothing about basses and yet has recently bought knobs, various guitar screws and a crappy £14 pickup for it...... oh and he's also recently purchased a t-shirt that says BASSIST on it. Pure scum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Anyone hit the report button? Sure it helps any claim after the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanark Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Excuse my dumbness, but how can you tell it's a Squier and not a Fender, when it says Fender on the headstock and the photos don't really show you much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ou7shined Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I hope that whoever the poor sod that buys it collects in person. Those plastic mirror type p/g's shatter quite easily. That one looks to be under so much stress with the cheapo pups being amateurishly jammed in there that I doubt it'll take the bashing that it will undoubtedly get in the post.

KingBollock Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I wonder if the question you can actually see on the page was deliberately posed like that? Q: Hi, is this a usa bass or mexi[b]con[/b]? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 It looks like most ebayers are aware that its not pukka - only £141 with an hour to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it as for the tshirt it was suggested by his guitarist mate that as he was temporarily taking possession of a bass then he'd need a Bassist tshirt?
