Is this Ray fake?

[carlos840]

Hi all,

Im pretty sure its fake and im about to report it, what do you guys think?

To me the bridge is clearly wrong, the original decal was clearly scratched and replaced by a pre ernieball!
The preamp should be a 2band and the bridge have foam if the decal was good.

Also there is something funny about the lower horn, it looks like its to open no?

Is that a Lakland neck?

dont know, but its not a musicman!

He says it is "Musicman/OLP". Maybe its a OLP with a MM decal.

bridge seems fake, along with the inlay size. EBMMs are known for the big dot inlays

Fake. Bridge is wrong (looks like an OLP), clearly the headstock decal is fake, not to mention the tuners are too long for a real one, and the body looks to be a very weird shape.

Looks like an OLP with a crappy sticker job on it...

Yes that is fake. That's a total OLP body and probably the neck too. The tuners are OLP too.

Lately someone has been selling bootleg Musicman decals and lots of OLP/MM fakers have been popping up everywhere.

thats what i thought, would some of you mind reporting it to?

Whats up with the lower horn? Does it look strange to somebody else to?

The headstock decal is a dead giveaway. You can clearly see how fake it is.

Almost anyone buying a stingray will probably notice anyway...

Well unless hes bidding on his item with other accounts 4 people have already bid on it!

everything about that bass say OLP, with the exception of the poorly applied decal/sticker. they usually go for $120-$175.00 in mint condition.

FAKE!

A sad day when folks feel compelled to fake a 'Ray.

I e-mailed the seller to give them a chance to revise the listing just in case they really don't know what it is. Now it's on them.

It's a girl selling a gift from her ex-boyfriend, she probably has no idea what it is. Plus, what does she want, about 100 USD for it? Is a used OLP worth that?
