leonshelley01 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Picked it up this morning, few dings and scratches but neck straight and hardware all working. Not bad for £55 from the 'bay. Edited May 4, 2013 by leonshelley01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 My word....what has happened there??? If it is genuine that is a real bargain. Must be a very interesting back story to this - I cannot see how someone can have a bass of this calibre and not know it. Let us know how you get on fella.

2x18 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 He wrongly listed it in the Book section -- there is a nice M.I.J. Vantage Bass and case in the book section as well!-----May be a bargain if you can collect! ( Milton Keynes ) Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetaFunk Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Excellent. Well done that looks like a great find. I don't think that being under the wrong listing made the difference on people bidding but more likely the fact it was collection only. There are still some great bargains to be had on ebay but they are nearly always collection only which limits drastically who is going to bid for it.

If someone is serious about bidding for it, then go ahead.It looked like no one was really interested, so i thought it might go cheap.I only wanted a cheap bass so i could take to work for practicing.I was only going to go too £100, so if anyone is going to bid more, tell me and i will stop.No point in bidding it up if someone os wanting to pay more.It is at £62 now, and i have lost the lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hand of john curley Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 No fella, I'm out . Think I'd struggle to get it in the house without a divorce anyway!!! £100 ish would be a steal! Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonshelley01 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't think he knew, but he thought "it might go for a little bit more". In all fairness, I don't have a clue what it's worth either, but I'm sure it's more than £55! Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonshelley01 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Nope, it's going to have to go. Been playing it all afternoon and after all those years of playing skinny necked jazz basses this feels as uncomfortably big as my Precision's neck (which I don't play either!). Shame because it sound's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never put a title in when i search. The real bargains come from those with 'collection only' like the bass of the original poster. On saying that i did pick up a good un at a bargain price on ebay recently (and have done so in the past) where the seller said collection only but after i contacted him said he would post it but didn't alter the description. The result was that no one else bid. Result. I still can't understand why sellers won't post guitars (they have after all mostly come from the other side of the world) but then again that's a good thing for us!
