That was quick!
I like the string thru bridge better than the modern one.
Wish they also could do a reissue version of that (with better neck)!

Looks as if someone (right handed person) is looking to flip for a quick buck.

Facebook seller says it's not the same bass, but if you compare pictures, you'll easily see that the wood grain and fretboard wear are identical to the bass sold on Ebay.

Stated more bluntly, it's the same bass, and this guy's a liar.

The previous listing says:
*** Unfortunately this bass had a neck crack repair long time ago (see pic), the truss rod is all the way tight and is unplayable at this time *** NEEDS REPAIR or GOOD FOR PARTS *** SOLD AS IS ***
That means he's knows it and still trying to sell it saying it's in perfect shape.

Wow you guys ain't kidding! I just commented on his reply to Bob stating that it's obvious this is the same bass. I wonder how long it will last.. I hope no one gets suckered into buying at that price, but if they do I hope they get some arrows to go with that bow!

Ha. He’s protesting it on my shared post. I can’t believe he’s sticking with the lie.

Eh, these bullshit listings tend to multiply, as we have all seen. Props to the guy for being more polite than me in these types of situations though. :lol:
