I thought the lack of drilled holes in the body for the ashtrays was no big deal. My 82 Fulerton 57RI P has no drill holes for the pup cover.

Not to mention the neck has a vintage tint job gone horribly wrong. Normally these would get a slightly darker golden-brown hue, whereas this one's just brown.
Also, did anyone notice the actual finish on the back of the neck is flawless, whereas the paint is near rubbed off the back of the body (by an orbital sander I'm guessing)?
Would the neckplate have an "F" on the '64?

Your bass is a reissue! You shouldn't make assumptions comparing reissues to real preCBS.
The neck finish is original reissue finish. The neck plate should be an "L", but I have several fake "L" plates.
I bought in June or July of 2005 from a guy in Indianapolis. I have almost 500 hours in it and have taken it to 12 states. Most recently I flew it to St. Pete, FL and back on a family visit.
Do you fly?
It amazes me sometimes how blinded people can get though....Look at the corrosion on the tuners, the bridge, the strap lock, screws and even the pickups, and then look at the neck plate, a piece that the seller mentions as establishing the age of the bass and it is shiny as hell. Doesn't even look like it has many surface scratches either, which is extremely suspect given the wear on the body.

No, I just work with planes every day so I recognized your ID as a tail number. I wish I had time to fly though....

Can't say for sure but this might be the same seller we were talking about a while back on this thread.

I was reading his feedback and it says several times that the seller is actually from Jakarta, Indonesia instead of Sydney, Australia. Sounds like a scam just waiting to happen.
If you can't take getting corrected when you're trying to give out false info why not just stay out of the discussion!! There was nothing lowclass about my post, just factual.
And the only payment method he allows is direct wire transfer. No chance of a chargeback through PayPal or credit card that way....
The terms look the same from both listings. This paragraph for sure:
4. Ask all questions BEFORE you bid. Again, if you bid and win, you have bought the bass guitar. I am not the first owner, I sell it in the same condition as when I bought it. Please make sure that you have verify all the pics that I included here... and make sure that you have VERIFY EVERY PART of this bass guitar BEFORE you make a bid! I SELL THIS AS IS, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS. NO REFUND! I CANT GUARANTEE IF EVERYTHING IS ORIGINAL! IF YOU DO NOT WANT (OR NOT SURE WITH) THE ITEM, DO NOT BID ON IT. Please ask all the question BEFORE you make a bid.

I doubt it does any good but at the bottom of listings they have a 'report this item' link. If you know your stuff and see one of these listings you could try to head 'em off as I assume Ebay would rather not deal in these transactions. Maybe you could even still head it off if you hurry!
"THIS IS A GENUINE ALL ORIGINAL VINTAGE BASS BUT LOOK OUT, I MIGHT BE LYING!" ;^)
-"What just happened here?"
-"We got hosed, Tommy. We got hosed."
-"Oh, Davey."
But in all seriousness, the scumbag seller needs to be taught a lesson...preferably in a dark alley somewhere...with a bat.
