LukeFRC Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 strange yeah?? cos I rang the guy and he sounded totally genuine on the phone and said he sold it.... and the ebay seller has a different name in his log in.... then strange that the gumtree guy has the same rubbish photos for months on gumtree, but finds a better camera for the ebay auction.... then looking at his other items its strange he has his wife making him clear out the guitar my flatmate sold last week via gumtree! so there you have it.

LukeFRC Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 he's not great at selling that bass though is he? and we know it's not new, the bridge tells us that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Well the serial number puts it as a 2006 bass according to the Fender website. So NOT brand new. If I didn't have 4 Jazz Basses already I'd be knocking down his door (he only lives a couple of miles from me in Edinburgh) because it does look like a nice bass. Frankly, if he wanted a decent price for it, he should have put it on ebay a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 hehhe you should have bought it off the first guy, the gumtree guy, cos i think the ebay guy is going to turn a profit on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I did think of that. But knowing me I probably wouldn't have had the heart to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phsycoandy Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I would be very wary, I got scammed on Gumtree very recently for a not inconsiderable amount when buying something that had to be shipped, My advice is if you cant collect don't do it.

I wish i had, turns out i didnt get into the course.... still moving cities to no job mind..... but if i find something I will be maybe looking for a dream jazz of some kind to replace the warwick.... or maybe just justify it by selling the old fretless aria.....

kets Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hmm, I saw that add on Gumtree too and nearly phoned the guy. Seemed a bit too good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjim Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Anyone else noticed the bass was readvertised yesterday on gumtree even though the advert is still running on ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only tust him if I could actually go to his place to get it and have a good look first. Edited July 23, 2010 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
