eBay Scammer strikes again

[Bolt91]

Fake bass
I saw this guy on here a few weeks ago, selling another "1960's Jazz Bass." It's blatantly obvious it's a fake, but there have been 30 bids on it.
The people on here tore him up, but someone got took for a ton of money, and it's happening again.
I'd do something, but I'm not a member of eBay.
Just wanted to spread the word.

I cant believe that with how many people reported this guy on eBay, he was able to re-list this.....

 

[Bolt91]

I know! Ridiculous...

 

[Surprise Panda!]

Wow, that looks real...

 

[millsbass5]

You can DEFINITELY see where chemicals were used to disrupt the finish. Especially where the forearm contour is.It's CLEARLY peeling and bubbling.FAKEFAKEFAKEFAKEFAKEFAKE.

 

[millsbass5]

Did I mention that I think it's a fake?

 

[Bolt91]

Tell me about it...
A WEBRIGHT neck? ***?! No holes for the string mutes, inconsistent wear on the back of the body, black pickguard, etc...
People are gullible.

Is there anyone on here who is a member of ebay who can report it?

 

[cmewhinney]

Done deal

 

[millsbass5]

Damn!!I just realized,that means my so-called "real deal" 1961 Jazz Bass is a fake.Mine has two stack-knobs.Sh*t!!!!Thank God for Fender authorities like that.

 

[Bolt91]

I hope it works. I'm pretty sure he got reported last time, but he came back.

 

[Alaska Bass]

Just reported it as well.

 

[bhass]

Just reported it as well.

TB to the rescue!

 

[sarnz]

yeah WOW it looks like he just dumped acetone all over a highway one!!!

 

[Vakmere]

I like the part where he says "its in great shape".

 

[Ampeg SVT]

"We don't sell any fake fender! See all my vintage collection."

:scowl:

 

[EBodious]

i really like these threads cause i learn a whole lot.

obviously, the relic'ing looks unnatural. but, can you guys tell me what gives the neck away? i don't get the "webright," but can you get a slab rosewood fretboard that is fake?

thanks for the clues

p.s. he states:

If you have a legitimate concern relating ... to a possible discrepancy in my listing please contact me immediately. I will do my best to add those details if appropriate.

covers his a$$ rather nicely....

 

[Ampeg SVT]

I mean the thing that really gives it away for me is the 70's pickup spacing.

 

[stubarura]

i like it where he says "we don't sell fake fender"

 

[Brian7StringNY]

I like the part where they say, "this isn't a fake"

I reported them through my account as well. I can't stand Fender basses, but I know enough to tell a POS from a vintage.
