JazzBassfreak Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Hey guys just wanted to warn collectors there's a guy on eBay selling a G&L SB-1 with a broke. Truss rod, he won't put it in the ad and intends on getting above £500 to rip someone off. Edited October 17, 2013 by JazzBassfreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not worth trading something good for a broken truss rod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Not personally, could tell by the why he was acting when I asked about the truss rod there was something fishy with it, as he kept using the phrase "as is". Mind you a nice G&L 1984 SB-1 is abit fishy at £550 don't you agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 TBH most folks looking at that will see the pic of the crack in the fingerboard, read his patter about high action and the bit about the truss rod... then they'd walk away even if it was £400! A quick trawl through BC seems to show that BCers would be happy to pay £600-£700 for an SB1 in decent nick so I'd not imagine that bass will get many bites from members on here (unless they have a spare G&L neck).

Mr. Foxen Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think the guy is being straight enough. Just had an exchange where I explained how the ebay system works and he has edited it to spares or repair. He just doesn't know. If he sells it as 'used' it assumes all working and you can claim against him via ebay, now listed as spares or repair, can't claim he's pretending its probably good, pretty much assume the worst.

[/quote] Yeah all good then. Such a nice bass too, shame about the issues. Been debating with myself whether to aim for an old G&L or an old fender jazz bass. Just wanted to make sure people knew. And the as long as the guys sorted it issue resolved. Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
