rushbo Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I'm always curious as to how anyone could cause so much damage to a Bass, just by regular playing... These aren't 'Road Worn' unless your day job is playing Bass in a Fire-eaters band and he really doesn't like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The thing that REALLY annoys me with that guy is that he sticks a custom shop logo on the back of the headstocks. That really is conning people. Fender should sue his ass off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 'made with Fender parts....' Always annoys me when people confuse Squier with Fender. Nowt worse then finding a cheap 'Fender Precision' only to find it's actually a Squier Affinity. This fella must be MDP's welsh cousin...

jackers Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 have you seen this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tailor-made-Custom-shop-road-worn-Fender-Squier-Stratocaster-hardtail-or-tremolo/271117592621?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=017&category=33039&cmd=ViewItem "You are bidding on the neck plate only"..... That is not mentioned in the title at all. Apparently he is offering the winner the chance to purchase the guitar.....Surely that is against eBay rules?

jackers Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I politely messaged him saying his ad was dodgy and misleading, and he responded thanking me and saying he would amend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
