itsmedunc Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1442955213' post='2870974'] Looks like this one; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/269191-another-oh-dear/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/269191-another-oh-dear/[/url] But photographed better.

itsmedunc Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Different seller ID's and descriptions too... Rareguitars1999 and Lexlutheir! Surely, there are two of them? Or, this could mean there are charlatans trading on ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 [i]Possibly [/i]60s vintage..? Well it could [i]possibly [/i]be solid gold, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the boy Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's had a full set up..... Lol. Imagine walking into any credible guitar tech and asking him to set it up. Some serious lip biting going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatEric Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I know who the seller is. Bit surprised, to be honest - usually sells older high end, import Japanese stuff! Aria, Greco, Ibanez etc - been doing it for years - this is completely off the wall for him. Very confused!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Yup, it's the same bass. Bought for £130 on 9th September from a guy in SE London, and re-listed within a fortnight with a description including [b]I bought this out of curiosity some time ago with a view to doing a full restore but had nagging doubts that I would be destroying the history of what could easily be a very early Precision Bass ... [/b][b]It was actually turned up in a farm sale where it had been in a loft for decades and looking a good deal worse than it looks now with an awful setup[/b] So basically he's a liar and a conman.

[/quote] I continue to be amazed at how stupid some folks on eBay are in thinking that the past purchase of a crap piece of firewood now being sold as "possibly valuable vintage' with the classic "found in the attic/shed/farm/on old box Jaco sent me before he died" story can't be traced? Are these people simply too old to understand how the interweb works, or do they assume that they are cleverer than everyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
