One is an '03 or '04 MK 5 string bal.K. I don't remember what the other one was as I'm running on about 2 hrs. sleep. I'm not under the influence of anything other than coffee. The listing just looked a little off. Seller's Name was myjewelthief or something like that. sonicus Advanced Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 209 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2009 - 10:46 am:    There was a 1980's graphite neck standard point body shape on ebay as well that got yanked that way as well as another as per your description last week. I had one of them on my watch list and suddenly disappeared ! It had a "BUY IT NOW " price of $1.100 ! I really did not trust that for obvious reasons but had decided to watch it and ___POOF !!! GONE into thin air ! What's up with that ? There was no trace of it ever having been sold ! lmiwa Advanced Member Username: lmiwa Post Number: 232 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2009 - 11:06 am:    When there is a way low price, the "text" of the ad is actually an image, and it says "email me first", you can pretty much count on it being a fraud. bassilisk Junior Username: bassilisk Post Number: 30 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2009 - 12:00 pm:    There was a thread about this guy on TB: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=563868 He's been identified as a scammer. sonicus Advanced Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 210 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2009 - 12:37 pm:    This is that guy!

What a beauty it is! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 8434 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, July 24, 2009 - 7:36 pm:    Thanks Art; I thought that bass looked familiar.
