Despicable. I hope the seller gets what he deserves.

I don't know what to make of the toaster pickup, but the bridge one and the TRC are definitely the real thing. In other words, a deliberate attempt is being made to pass off that faker as the genuine article. Right?

Or the guy just doesn't know what he's got...

That would be sad....

What do you think the odds of that are Andrew?

quote-I'm actually selling it for my bass player-unquote. It's possible the seller is being made a fool by his buddy the bass player, which is unfortunate because he's committing fraud and may not know it. The dots on the pick guard and the wide skunk stripe are sure giveaways on this one.

"Or the guy just doesn't know what he's got..."

Oh, he knew. I emailed him minutes after the auction was listed.

And now it's gone.

I used to have one of those. Gads it was a horrible sounding bass.

But I always read in the descriptions stuff like: "sounds just like the real thing," or "sounds better then a real Rick!"

You mean these people are lying in their description, Scott?
