[Jjango]

Scammers like this should be put in jail. :scowl:

 

[Gord_oh]

i emailed fender, unlikely they can do anything but we will see.
I also reported to eBay.
It sucks that this guy is getting somuch money for ripping people off.

ok, so how about this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1965-Fender-Jazz-Bass-NEAR-MINT_W0QQitemZ270350067389QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item270350067389&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50

i can see that the tuners are not original. what else is there? it certainly doesn't look 40+ yrs old.

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.

Correct m if I'm wrong, but didn't the early 60's Jazz basses have the dual stacked knobs?

Looks like he attacked it with a potato peeler and cigarette lighter.

Personally I did not know that vintage meant chemical bath and blow torch treated!

 

[tomersg]

what a bad and ugly relic job.. and the truss rod is wrong. and why burn those poor knobs?

 

[selowitch]

How is it that this dude has all this positive feedback?

The tuners are correct for the age. I'm not a huge expert, but as far as I can see the only thing "wrong" with that bass is that it looks too new to be true. All the parts look legit.

What's the deal with the WEBRIGHT stamp on the neck?

Paddle tuners on unbound/blocked neck is pretty rare but not out of the question. Pots date to 66 which suggests transition era paddle tuners, might have been an older neck they had at fender. Pearl dots are correct for late 64 to 65

It is obviously someone not familiar with English---wouldn't be surprised if this is out of Thailand and sold through intermediary in Australia so that you think it is coming from a reputable place (as opposed to the fake and scam-ridden SE Asia.

 

[xgator4u]

My brothers this SCREAMS fake, I too reported this.

 

[sowder]

eBay used to have a small department I used to work with, that has experts that pull listings if it can't be authenticated and they don't have papers of COA's to prove it. I will try to contact them. I suggest others do the same. That's just disgusting.

They are from Jakarta, take a look at some of their feedback.
