Very calculated. While the headstock has an EBMM Stingray decal on it, he never actually states the brand/model in the ad. Might make this tough to report. Hope no one gets suckered on this.

Thanks for the heads up on being fake, the sellers name is the "Unnameddemon" and has a feed back score of 4. Your right if he does not say it's a musicman but then again that is how the demon must work.

Too bad they did not check this forum before buying...now missing one string stuff was a good distraction to make it sound the seller was not knowledgeable about bass.
The decal is not properly positioned and post EB Stingrays only came with the 3 band eq in lefty. What a scammer this dude.

It also doesn't have the logo stamped on the bottom of the bridge. "Seller does not offer returns" is stated in the original listing, meaning the buyer is screwed.

Looks like it sold for a pretty $1000... I feel bad for whoever bought it.

I like this line from the CL add.... "$750 or best offer. Buy it Now for $1000"... if I can buy it for $750 or less, why would I buy it now for $1000? :? :)
