Hi guys, has anyone tried this bass out? Invalid Link Removed Specs: Fender American Special PJ-Bass RW VIB FSR, bass guitar, Thomann 60th Anniversary model, alder body, maple neck, rosewood thomann fretboard, "C" shape, 20 frets, 41 mm saddle width, 1 x american standard Precision bass Alnico...

1000 USD is equivalent to 725 euros. For that price difference, I could book a trip to whatever is the greatest guitar store in the US, spend a week there as a tourist, and buy the 60th and I'd still have like 300-400 euros to spare. Maybe I'll end up buying it here, but boy what a difference. I...

I am currently considering buying a 60th, but the store didn't have an Am Std to test one against the other. I'm from Spain and the 60th was bought by the store owner for him, but he's willing to sell it. It has been used few times, but he adjusted the pickup and string height, and some screws...

Nah, I don't see the deal clear enough. The shop guy made his own adjustments, lowered the action, altered the pickup height, a couple of screws on the pickguard look like they have been unscrewed and screwed back (a little twisted). The bass makes a little humming noise through the amp, which...

It is almost brand new. It still has the pickguard plastic. The only sign of use I noticed is the tone pot which is a bit loose, but that seems only a matter of tightening the screw. Other than that, the bass has been played for about a week. I know the price seems insulting for Americans, but...

So it seems. But to be fair, 1:1 dollar:euro conversions are very common in goods sold in Spain, at least. Still, lotsa money...

Hi guys, I tried a 60th today at my local store and I really liked it. So far I've tried an American Standard Jazz Bass, of which I loved the quality of the finish and how comfy it was, and a Lackland Bob Glaub, which I liked more than the Jazz in terms of sound, but still wasn't fully...

Hola Bomber, yo soy de La Coruña, si me explicas en castellano te traduzco mejor y a ver si te puedo aconsejar. Un saludo EDIT: Ok, I understood his post now, I'm posting my translation of the important bits below. So, it seems even clearer now that this guy tried to scam me...

Well, happy ending guys. Yesterday I met the seller, handed his bloody bass back to him and he gave my money back. I thanked him for being true to his word, wished him the best and parted ways. I guess he tried to set me up, saw he failed and didn't want to risk a lawsuit so he opted for...

Nope, I made the transfer on Thursday night, and called to cancel it on Friday afternoon but it had gone through already.

Tomorrow should be the day the guy receives my bank transfer and sends it right back. So far he has kept contact so I'm hopeful...

Yeah, I did the wire transfer because we agreed to the buy and I went right away to meet the guy. He actually said he preferred cash but I couldn't withdraw the entire amount from an atm because of the daily limit in my card.

God. I have to admit I laughed when I read RobSatFender's post. I am seriously considering burning myself alive right now hahahaha. I am currently talking with the seller (good sign, he didn't cut communications) and he is in dismay, apparently he was absolutely sure his bass was genuine. Geez...

Ok guys, things are pretty clear. I just took it to the store and the guy confirmed it was a total fake. The funny thing is, I called the guy who sold it to me and he claims to have no idea it was a fake. He said he bought it from an online store in Switzerland along with a Marcus Miller and...

Well **** me. I should have done this before buying, but the "low" price tempted me. I did a bank transfer for the dude, I'll call the bank and try to cancel it. Thanks for the help guys.
