mojobass Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 listed as a 'rare 50's original tele bass' is that right!!! well if he gets £750 for it i'd happily take £700 for mine!!! Its a new generation 'modern player' tele bass which can be bought new for around the £400 mark - as i myself know well! I can't believe the greed and skullduggery of some folk!!

kevbass Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 He's also asking 600 quid for his Mexican precision, not quite the £900 someone else was trying to shift theirs for but still quite pricey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad Paul Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 He is obviously a "proffesional" "gutiarist" as well. Not much of a speller though obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Iffy description, but OTOH it's difficult to argue that he's concealing what it is when he has a fine photo of the rear of the headstock with the serial number and "Made in China" clearly written on it. Illiterate chancer rather than deeply dishonest scammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Maybe he thinks it is? If he bought in in good faith after being told it was? Some People don't know a Chinese bass, from a Chinese takeaway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojobass Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I msgd him and told him what it was etc! he messaged back saying he had revised the listing and lowered the price accordingly!! - £650!! So thats a brand new bass (that you can already buy in a shop with a warranty for £420) and a hiscox case all in for about £150 more than you could actually buy it for from a shop!!! not a bad deal!!

Prosebass Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 He is relying on the 'ebay effect' in that many people think that if they buy from ebay they will be getting a bargain. It amazes me that people don't check new prices first ! Interestingly all his feedback is private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowley Birkin QC Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thought I'd message him to make him aware of the £401 price tag for the same thing at GAK.........think he took the huff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
