This one (http://jonesboro.craigslist.org/msg/1404813190.html) recently came up on craiglist (jonesboro) and if its still available would appear almost too good to be true given the asking price. | ||

That is (or was) Olie's bass...he got it from GC some years ago, if memory serves, and later had to shoot down a scam auction that used GC's pics of the bass. Olie's from Tejas, so it's conceivable his bass could be on craigslist in northern Arkansas, but I'd be a little surprised myself. | ||

That is indeed my bass and it's at Alembic now getting some updates done, so unless Mica's got a boat payment due or something er uh..... it's a scam! OO | ||

Should we start f'ing with him? I already flagged the ad, but could probably be a tad more aggressive. | ||

Already removed. Maybe it was my e-mail in which I introduced myself as local law enforcement officer and asked for an address at which I could view the bass. | ||

Okay. If there's one thing this guy has is balls. Check out below the reply I received even after indicating I could stop by to look at the bass. I love the name he or she is using. "This guitar is in Very Near Mint Condition. There are no scratches, dents or dings anywhere on it,everything is 100% original. The price I'm selling it for is $1760, which is including all charges. I used to live in Jonesboro but I'm currently working in the UK (London) and I'll be moving here permanently within the next few months.I'm using a privately-held company called MoneyBookers storage to sell this guitar , I left it at their warehouse before leaving to the UK. they are supervising the entire sale process from payment, shipping with a 5-day inspection period, Warranty transfer service or/and (if needed) returns and refunding. If you want to purchase it, let me know and I will explain you how the company works and how we can move forward. Kind regards. Jaquan Chauncey (Message edited by hammer on October 08, 2009) | ||

Well he is right about one thing, the bass is in "Near Mint Condition". OO PS I wonder if "including all charges" includes fraud too?! ;) | ||
