sblueplanet Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The control knobs are wrong for a start. Should be flat top knurled ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s 100% fake then! I was 99% sure it was fake but thought I’d ask the experts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashborygirl Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 It's complete con, the guy is also selling an SQ series neck that looks like horseshit too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1984-JAPANESE-SQUIER-by-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-FULLY-LOADED-NECK-SQ-SERIES/283230585233?hash=item41f1dbc191:g:-TQAAOSw9~5bxpk3:rk:2:pf:0 He's sold plenty of guitars so I reckon this isn't ignorance, it's fraud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 From the seller: Could you tell me what problem you've identified with the bass? Obviously I'd like to get as much as possible for it but with a score of nearly 600 at 100% I don't want to risk anything. My main objective is to clear the 40-odd items in my studio now that I don't play anymore. I don't have the skills or the equipment to put a guitar or bass together but I could dismantle one, and I can get to my start price by selling the parts separately, which I would be committing myself to doing once I take it apart. Before I go down that route I'd like to know what I'm looking for! Best regards, Rog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) Further from the seller (after pointing him in the direction of this thread): Hi, Thanks for that. Not sure I'm any the wiser but to be on the safe side I've ended the listing, and the SQ series Squier neck listing as well. As I say, I'm more interested in clearing out my studio than making a few hundred quid if it means destroying my feedback score! Best regards, Rog All part of the service, Rog...TBH though I question his sincerity in his "Thanks" and "Best Regards".

Bassassin Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 That "SQ" neck is f***ing shocking! This is what an SQ headstock looks like. The s/n is on the bleedin' neckplate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
