b7l4s Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Probably a typo, but this auction has a buy-it-now price of £1... so a pick is not unreasonable... but £12 postage seems steep. However, the one photo is of a cardboard box of the type you send guitars in, and the 'Item specifics' states 5 strings and right handed? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Pick/283062167589 I think the seller is legit, although they are selling a lot of ex-Gear4Music items and also no-name (and no photo of the headstock) knock-off stuff which may or may not be junk, but this auction qualifies as weird.

Hellzero Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 That surely is a typo, as it must be this one (box picture is the same), unless it's a huge cardboard pick 🤣 : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-5-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar/283063844850?hash=item41e7eb7ff2:g:BpEAAOSwTIhaX4Sh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Must be a typo; the text should read, not 'Pick', but 'Pig in a poke'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five-string, but 38mm nut. No wonder there's no picture of the front of the headstock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Looking at his feedback it is likely to be a Harley Benton bass, a few people have left negative feedback to that effect, still it is only about 2 miles from me if you wanted it checking out before you parted with good money...or bad money even!

SubPlucker Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 This seller’s other items appear to be a combination of harleys and gear4music’s in-house brand, all at a markup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
