bigsmokebass Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172361359940 Something just seems fishy about this.... I'm sure we all know this as the [b]USA Fender Marcus Miller Jazz bass 5 string [/b]. Yet the seller has no idea and has been passed down through the family (?) also sellers other items include new IPhone 6s and IPad, along with the new FIFA game.... It just doesn't add up. I'm tempted to call "stolen" on this or at least a scam alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesT Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I've just noticed this one as well. Relisted and wants it gone by the weekend. I'm thinking stolen as well. Doesn't take much research to realise it's worth a lot more than he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabbs Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Preamp looks wrong though, I was thinking more Chinese? Edited October 6, 2016 by Shabbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabbs Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Decal also placed wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesT Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I thought the same about the preamp, but the decal is correct for 2011. Looks like they moved it further down on the newer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabbs Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Didn't realise they moved the decal James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesT Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Yeah, it was only after having a look at a load of photos I noticed it was right for that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 It looks fine to me, though odd that the guy doesn't know what it is. The little metal cups the strings fit into will fall out when you take the strings off. The neck pocket will be cut too big, and will be lop-sided. I had one, it was awful.

thebrig Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If it is stolen, it would seem strange that he didn't want to post it, and invited people round to his house to try it first, plus he has his great big mugshot in one of the pics. And he didn't set an asking price, he put a reserve on it which was not reached, so he withdrew it, all pretty common practise really.
