First of all, a Fender for $200? I'd be interested if it were real...
I don't see a serial number, or a Fender neck plate, and the position of those tuners (look at the back of the neck)... seriously bad!
Am I correct, or am I missing a deal?

Am I correct, or am I missing a deal? | Not "deal of the century"! Would you feel better if he had said "Fender-style bar bass for sale"? Which is what it is. It's simple. If it has a reasonable tone, and the neck feels reasonably good to play, and it doesn't look too bad at a distance (in stage lighting), it's a reasonable bar bass. If it doesn't do all of those things then it's an over-priced project parts bass.
You are asking the wrong questions about this bass. |

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

If you had read any of the "decal" threads, you would know that if a person puts on a Fender decal, he will never sell it; and if somehow he does sell, he will always disclose to the buyer that it is not really a Fender. |

| | Registered User | | | | | Specifics? My untrained eye only sees a decal that says "Fender Precision Bass" on a Fender-shaped headstock attached to a P-bass shaped body with a split pickup.

BTW....the link doesn't like us Limey's reporting in

Just tell him to say in his ad that it's an old P-like he customized many years ago and all will be fine... I guess | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
