Details

SOLDThis bass is as close to "Like New" as it gets. I bought it new from Bass Emporium on July 24, 2008. After a week or two, I noticed some extremely small indentations on the back of the neck. I couldn't figure out how they had gotten there. It took me a couple of months but I finally reallized the marks coincided with frets 1 through 4 meaning the neck had likely been laid on top of another fretboard causing the indentations. The guys at Bass Emporium and at Lakland were great. BE shipped it back to Lakland in September and I just got it back a week ago. Lakland installed a new neck that has been through the plek machine! The new neck is perfect with incredible fretwork. If you hold it up to the light you may see a minimal swirl or two but no scratches and certainly no dings. This bass has not left my home studio. I have played it very little and it has never been gigged.

The problem is that I have realized that I am just not a 5-string guy so I am selling this beautiful bass. This is my first sale on TB but I have a 100% rating on ebay (username: doctormoore).

Well I did get an offer from a guy that was going to send a check for the full asking price by "Next DAY HAIR" then he would have a "mover" come to my house and pick the bass up. I wouldn't even be responsible for shipment. He also wanted me to remove the listing immediately so there would be "no disturbances". I replied with instructions as to how to have a courier with cash meet me at the bank to have the currency verified. Bet I don't hear from him any time soon. :ninja:

You know, if I would have thought about it, I could have gotten the mover picked up. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

Did they find the listing here or you have the bass up on CL as well?

It'd be disturbing to know if they know about talkbass classified...

This is a common scam, usually seen on Craig's list. I sold a P bass last month to a local buyer, met him and sold it, good deal. But i also and got six of these e-mails all with the same text and different e-mail address. Don't give them any personal info. My reply to hem was "I'll have my MOVERS contact your MOVERS, LOL you clown!"
