Shambo Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) It's the headstock decals on this one that don't look right to me... but I'm prepared to be proved wrong. What do the more knowledgable members of the forum think?

neilb Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Deffo a fake, but I have no suspicion the seller is a scammer, just very unaware of the bass' provenance and is just going by whats on the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Seller says this: [quote]I don't know where it was made as i bought it off of a friend... It plays well and really looks the part.[/quote] Which doesn't exactly sound like he thinks it's the real deal. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 He has now said that he's been told it's a copy so he's setting the start price at Squier levels. As for oiling and fret cleaning - he hasn't said he doesn't know about guitars, he's said he doesn't know about bass guitars. Subtle difference.
