Intonation Is Overrated ...

[StereoPlayer]

Yes, I was comforted by the clear pic of serial number fmduhsremnf. Can't report a seller for not knowing what the heck they're selling - that'd wipe out all my "old valve amp" or, even better, "old amp" steals that I've had in the past.

The crucial question is: does that quality jack cable come with the bass?

The only way that jack placement could be better would be if it was in the middle of the row of knobs!

Just edited my post while you responded. Took a couple of looks before I "wha??"

I have enough saddles in my parts bin to complete half a dozen of basses in this condition. Not sure why exactly, but maybe this bass is calling my name.

Nah.

 

[StereoPlayer]

This is nice too!

Even when I first started playing 50 yrs ago...(wow)... I didn't put strings on this way!

It doesn't seem like a too bad price, plus it has make an offer....
I assume it's a MIM?

I can't report this jerk. I hope someone here who is a registered user will take a moment and report it.

the seller may not be a jerk. more likely inexperienced (but hopeful, obviously) or ignorant/stupid. how do you report stupid? what ramifications/consequences would reporting stupid have for all of us here at TB?

If it was fretless, could he say it is a 35" scale length?

@StereoPlayer I'm ashamed to admit I had many, many years of blaming "cheap, copy bass tuners" for suddenly G_DOIINK, dropping a tone and a half, and collecting a few eyeballs of unsuspecting punters making their way to the toilet at gigs, before I learned there is a better way of stringing. I praise the Youtube video for educating cheapskate, book-purchase-avoiding DIYers like myself. I could recommend Youtube for a commendation from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA)

Tone is in the hands. Bridge saddles are training wheels.

So... anyone taking bets that the controls are not in the usual (correct) order???

 

[Michedelic]

You potential buyers beware! No funny business, it's registered!

This is a good example of "Don't drink and mod"

Fixed that for you.

This is awesome.

No, read the ad. It's AWSOME.

You guys shouldn't be so hard on him. Someone broke into his house and stole the saddles off the bass. Happens.

For some reason, your quote reminds me of this song:


Note: I didn't have MTV growing up, so this is the first time I've seen the video of She Likes Me for Me. Thanks for that.
