My dream bass (yes I even like the dings, adds character IMO) but check out his feedback... too scary I think. Dang! when's the next time another one like this is going to pop?

His feedback is just .1 under 99%, which is still pretty good, but reading some of the complaints show that he may overrate items he sells. Some of the negatives and neutrals were due to malfunctioning cameras, a rusty item that he called mint, etc. He usually retorts about it being sold as-is. He's also had a few where he and the other party agreed to reverse a negative, which probably means that it doesn't hurt his percentage rating. Because of this factor, he could realistically be a 97.5-98% ebayer, which I wouldn't deal with.

Exactly. And the "absolutely no PayPal" warning makes me more suspicious. And have you seen that some of the positives actually have neg follow-ups? And for some neutrals he retaliated with a neg for the buyer.

I'll just wait for the perfect Azureglo from a nicer seller. But it's killing me.

"but I forget how much it is..."

Asking price is $3K. I'm not paying that kind of money even for the Azureglo that was near Star Stowe

Ilan, I'm with you, my ultimate Rick would be a pre 73 with all the details (toaster, FW crushed pearl etc)in azure, and I've only ever seen one (unfortunately belongs to someone else) although I seem to remember a forumite also has one. With regards to that bass though, apart from the 1/2" spacing it looks a lot like my old 76; it looks like it has fatter horns to me. I'd request more photos if I was interested.

You are right about the retaliatory feedback. It is a really big turn-off, and using feedback in this way really says something about a person's character.

Ilan,

How 'bout you find me a Feb '73 in jetglo and I will trade you my Oct'73 Azureglo for it.

The pickups on that one at gbass are too high for that year, I'll bet they are new replacements. They should be more like 7.0-7.5K
