I am in NO WAY affiliated. What on earth is it? Supposedly a fender P bass. Fender gurus, were they ever made like this? He doesn't say it's a replacement pickguard...

Why do they think they'll get 7500 dollars for a parts bass?

Among other things, the pickguard's a dead giveaway.

It's so "vintage" that the Fender logo hadn't even been created yet to be slapped on the head stock! :-D

I realize that in the listing the seller says that the neck was "refinished," but come on... who is this person trying to kid? It's like the guy that listed a handmade flute for $1mil so he could sell it to no one

Plus, anyone notice that they strung the D and G wrong? They're both on top of the string tree...

EPIC FAIL wow.just noticed that.

Shows even more this guy knows next to nothing about this bass. Especially since he called it a guitar in the description.

Lots of guessing for 7500 dollars.

Maybe the case is worth $7,400. That piece of duct tape at the top has to be worth a few thousand.

Probably. Honestly I'm suprised he didn't try to say it was some pre production model!
