If it is the same one, there's not much of a profit there. £11.32, to be exact. Cost including 26.4% hammer fee, £783.68.

 

It may be an optical illusion, but it looks as if the switch is orientated at 90 degrees to the one on Gumtree.

 

Fair point - I never looked at the fees or calculated a total.

 

It is definitely the same bass - on the headstock there are two chips & a scuff in exactly the same places in both sets of pics. I'm assuming it was bought just for the pickups - wonder what they went in?

It looks like you are right...Has to be said, that is a pretty niche thing to do. 'I need  new pickups for my John Birch bass, therefore I will buy another John Birch bass and take the pickups out of it'...That is quite weird, right?
