Well spotted guys! It's nice to know that some people really take the time to investigate these instruments, and report what could be a possible scam. Thanks G |

If anyone knows my Spoiler, it's Flip ;-) The first pic is my Spoiler, the second one ('88) sold recently. It was for sale here, on TB and @ The LowEnd. |

Wow. I welcomed Nick to the club. I now respectfully ask for Nick to step forward and explain what is going on here. |

It wouldn't be the first time someone has borrowed photos of similar instruments when they didn't own a camera (not a good practice, IMHO). Let's give the seller a chance to explain before we become too suspicious. |

I was already late for work when I posted 888. I saw my bass and made a quick remark before rushing to my bike, sorry for not mentioning directly that it is my bass ;-) There could be a nice bass for sale in Canada, doesn't have to be a scam. Though I don't mind someone using my pictures (for legitimate purposes only), it would be nice and correct to mention that you are not showing the bass that's for sale. ;-) Best thing to do: Post pictures of the actual bass that's for sale and post the serial number (or at least the year it was build) + some info. Hardshell (original) case, state? and if it is a scam, well: @#$%^%$%#$*&%$#! |

Yeah, I guess I would have more of an emotional reaction myself if I saw my own personal instrument listed for sale. We definitely need some explanation, and I agree that if this is in fact a scam, that the seller should be banished to the fires of Hades. |
