Excuse my ignorance, but... How can you tell there is a possible scam? For not having more -and specific- pictures maybe? > > > thumbsup Advanced Member Username: thumbsup Post Number: 359 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - 7:22 pm:    doesn't a used series go for 2 or 3 times that listed price? If it sounds to good to be true? sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1976 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - 8:10 pm:    If any of you out there have another pic of this Bass then MAYBE we can figure this one out together friends . I have seen a Bass that looks like it on eBay as well recently. I just looked under completed sales but could not find the pic to match. I remember from previous threads here that there was a fellow named Adam that might have had it built . Is that correct ? Where is that thread ? Anyone remember? mg1125 Intermediate Member Username: mg1125 Post Number: 147 Registered: 5-2010 Posted on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - 8:20 pm:    Here is a link I found: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230645184413+&clk_rvr_id=252653463360 sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1977 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - 8:36 pm:    Thanks Miguel !
