Yes, and I am the Squier guy.This guy apparently has no life. Really. I mean, that would take at least an hour to put that collage together.
I like how the seller spelled it "Squire" in his collage, while insulting others' intellligence.

Yes, and he also spelled "tongue" wrong.
Got to say I wouldent trust or admire or respect anyone that poses as someone else for kicks, or delusions of being a self-proclaimed "Internet Policeman". You are just as much a fraud and game player ..and a very smug one at that.
Grow up kid- at 31 you should know better by now. Learn your instrument like was suggested and get out of the "internet for kicks buisness". If no one will pay that price ..then guess what..he wont sell it. If someone buys a bass over the internet for $32000 sight unseen not knowing what they are doing and makes a mistake... then its a lesson for the bold. When you are bold, you stick your neck out further, big gains or big losses.
Either way someone like you needs to stay off the internet.
( and I dont know any of the people involved in the sale)
Wow, someone is cranky today.
I am not in the "internet for kicks business". I saw a fraud/rip-off eBay auction and took it down. And I would do it again, in a heartbeat.
And I really don't care what Tune-O-Matic sells his vintage bass for. If someone wants to pay $50K for it, who am I to judge? My original post was simply expressing surprise at how expensive these vintage models are getting. I do not judge him in any way for his pricing.
If I owned that bass, and I could fetch $32K for it, I would go for it. However, I happen to think it will never sell for that much, but who can blame the dude for trying?
However, we can blame the dude for being a complete jerk, which apparently he is, based on his replies to auction inquiries (see the auction) and his "photo collage" of personal insults against TB members (see his auction).
And as for being an "Internet Policeman", you're the one who just ordered me to "stay off the internet".
I wanted to see the difference, but it appears that the 3rd bass (that is supposed to be a Highway One) is the same bass as the 2nd one just above it.

Thanks.
I've heard it said that when they do the burst like that (with the belly contour all black), it's to cover up the fact that they are using a better wood 'facing' over a much cheaper wood 'core' (or perhaps even a body made entirely of plywood!). Is this the case on those MIMs with the all-black contour?

How unbelievably pretentious and snide can one be?
How he plans on getting a single serious buyer - at any price - with those incredibly rude responses is beyond me.

You miss my main point......I have no respect or trust for anyone who disguises, lies, or misleads about their identity behind a computer. If you can do that, then you've crossed a line that you are not capable or developed enough to understand (obviously).
My post was not nearly as much to try to convince YOU of anything, but to reach past you to others here (maybe very few here) to get them to think beyond an adolescent mentality- which would be good for this forum in general.
Buddy, welcome to the Internet. Everyone is disguised behind a computer. Just like...well, you. Or is your birth name "Low-bs"?
There is nothing "adolescent" about stopping scam artists on eBay. I have done it before, and I will do it again.
As for your respect and trust, I have absolutely no need or desire for it. Please troll somewhere else.
$200 for insured overnight anywhere in the CONUS isn't really that bad considering the whole thing might weigh in around 20 lbs. or more. It's the asking price I have a problem with. 
*You* are scamming "Buddy"...and your justification is adolescent.
The true Troll is someone who pretends to be an interested party with no intention of being one on an auction...and then baits the seller in inflammatory threads on internet boards...if thats not a textbook definition of an internet TROLL then it dosent exist.
Any room in there for a true look in the mirror "Buddy"?
Wow, you're really reaching now. When did I ever "bait the seller on internet boards"?
Keep in mind, the "seller" in this situation is a known internet scumbag. He listed an auction for a Jazz bass that was fraudulent (see this post for details) then, when I busted him and shut down his scam, he proceeded to call my home and office several times a day. He even threatened to "bash my skull in" on the phone. Of course never once has he acknowledged or responded to the very clear case I presented proving his auction to be a fraud.
Check his recent eBay feedback: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll
Just search Google and the Google newsgroups for "Rob Schuh", and you'll see what kind of evil psycho you are defending.
Now please, back to the topic. For Pete's sake.
Oh well. The bass didn't sell. I guess nobody went for it after all.
Maybe now he'll accept my best offer of $2,000.

he should thank us for stealing pictures of us
Where the hell did this come from? I'm pictured here, and I'm not happy about it. What's the story on this?
EDIT: I just found his auction with my pic on it, and I am f*****g pissed. I never bid on his auction, nor asked him any questions. I merely made a Royal Tennenbaums joke about that bass having a dent in it, and this guy calls me a loser and posts my picture for all to see.
Ebay will be hearing from me about this.
Check the original Ebay listing, but here's a bit of a synopsis:
A somewhat cocky individual posted an Ebay listing for a 61' J bass or some such and apparently had similar listings before that had somewhat less than favorable responses. In retaliation he made this group of pictures for his posting, apparently taking pics from sources around TB after someone mentioned his postings were being discussed here.
