solo4652 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) I saw this today: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/61/40807561.html"]http://www.gumtree.com/london/61/40807561.html[/url] More than 2600 hits! Looks like a Precision to me. I can't tell much more than that from the picture, but I'm sure you Fender gurus will be able to. If the seller is who/what he says, I wonder if he could do with some advice and guidance about selling his bass? Would a friendly BC'er be able or willing to help? Or is it none of our business?

RhysP Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I went round to get this bass from the guy - next thing I know I've woken up in a hotel room in Marseilles with a blinding headache, a sore arse and no recollection of the last 72 hours whatsoever. Still, it's a nice bass though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recorded message said that the message system was "full". Surprise surprise. I seem to recall that Gumtree uses it's own mobile number asa buffer between buyers and sellers, so it may not be the seller's own personal number. I just hope there's a good outcome to this.

warwickhunt Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I remember 15 years or so ago there was a local ad in the free-ads paper for a guy selling an 'old Ferder guitar' (correct spelling as per the ad), that had been in his loft since 1957 when his dad bought it; £50 ono. The seller apologised in the ad that the strings weren't all there, so the guitar would need a 'couple of new ones to be useable'. Needless to say when I rang at 07:45 on the morning of that weeks publication the guy who's phone number I rang was still quite jovial about the 'jape' his mates had pulled, "Nah sorry mate, it's my birthday today and the lads are having a laugh putting that ad in with my phone number"... by 21:00 that night when one of my mates rang, it was a case of, "f*ck off you stupid tw*t, of course I don't have a f*ckin Strat for £50, get f*ckin real, you f*ckin' d*ck head!". That's what mates are for, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher1993 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm young (16) and I'm competent (Grade 8) when it comes to playing a bass. I'm wondering whether I fall within the parameters he's set. I might give him a ring at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
