He seems (from his edit) to be irritated by the criticism (that is intended to help him).

Not just helping him, helping potential buyers Steve

The lack of effort that's gone into this ad is mind blowing

That is a thing of beauty and a good weight. My own '71 has far less mojo than your bass.

I agree, looks great.

100% with Steve, any seller who needs to have a ‘private’ chat about a bass is a seller I’m not buying from and who to my mind is not behaving in line with the spirit of this forum 

Sadly, I don’t think Gregor - from his original post to the bundled-in boosting of his Fodera - quite understands the spirit of this forum. We’ve all tried to explain, but it’s not sinking in, unfortunately.

Please post photos that have your username shown next to the bass. We are trying to help you (Apple translation).

 

Hear, hear!

Gregor seems to be using a translator, and speaking as someone who has worked in a foreign language you don’t always pay attention to translating everything said back

to you, especially if you think it’s not directly helpful to your aim

I figured that if I write it in polish, he may at least read it more carefully and if he still won’t do what is normal here, I can quite reasonably give up on this situation with my head held high - as they say in cool hand Luke “there’s some men you just can’t reach”. I hope that i am wrong

[briansbrew]

You dont bump where the pictures are as that doubles up on the listing, this can be very nauseating to look at

Yes, this is normal behaviour

it shows that the bass is probably in your possession. If you were a uk seller, a buyer could visit and see the item. Since you are nowhere local,  a buyer will be more careful. 

good luck with your sale 🤞

Still no pictures of pickup and pot dates, neck stamp, etc. That would be nice too!

[Geek99]

@Quasar79 wants the moon on a stick 😊

 

 

@gregorbass please can you show pictures of the neck heel and neck pocket, plus the rear side of the volume and time controls ? 
it is  normal to do this when you say that this is  a vintage instrument. It costs a lot of money and potential buyers want to be sure that it is really vintage **. That is why they ask so many questions, and to achieve a distance sale of a very expensive item you do need to be patient and understanding. UK sellers of vintage instruments do this same thing. 

 

asking myself why I’ve become his agent…

I’m finding this a bit rude 

 

you’re trying to sell a very expensive item.

You need to prove it is worth the price that you ask. I have a bridge to sell you, I ask only 3000€ It’s in London, but don’t ask me to prove that I own it. Would you buy from me?

I'm attaching photos for the skeptics. As I mentioned, I have the original socket and lower part for the bass. The capacitor is legendary, not found in all basses from this period. The capacitor has shortened legs, as you can see in the photo. This was taken when the socket was replaced.

[gregorbass]

I have some photos of the neck stamp taken during a visit to my luthier and friend martch.pl but I can't find them... start trusting me and don't treat me like a fraud... I know the construction of old Fender basses very well, so please don't take me for a layman...

[Steve Browning]

You have misunderstood our posts. It is good that you have responded to the suggestions positively - albeit reluctantly and sarcastically. They are normal requirements when trying to sell something of this vintage or value. 

 

You now have a chance of selling your wonderful looking bass. 

 

Good luck.
