I think they won't reply, they have a written that Sweetwater is not responsible for ads posted, so I think that's it for them.

Highly professional work... 😀
The bass player’s function, along with the drums, is to be the engine that drives the car… everything else is merely colours.

Is he accepting PayPal ?

Good day gentlemen,


I have not visited the forum for a long time, stopped by today and boy am I glad. I live about 5 miles from the given location of this bass, Eastpointe, MI. I emailed the seller about the bass, hoping I could stop by to take a look. Thanks to some of the sketchy background the members have discovered I will approach with caution. I will report back if indeed the seller responds. Thank you gentlemen for your eyes & ears.


Regards, Gary

Guys, again, this is a total scam.
This was my bass. I sold it to a gentleman that still owns it.
The person supposedly selling it on Sweetwater used photos and details from my ebay listing and is fraudulently claiming it is for sale.
The bass is not legitimately for sale.

Again, I know who owns it currently as I just sold it to him a matter of months ago. He loves the bass and has no plans on selling it.

The listing on Sweetwater is a scam and it has been up since July.

Additionally, the person that currently owns this bass lives in WA, not MI.

Gary,
You should write Sweetwater and let them know that this listing is fraudulent. I have already written them twice and I think one or more people here may have written in as well. I am very surprised that the listing is still up.

J9,


I just got a response from the "seller" through Sweetwater after I asked to come look at the bass:


"Hello Gary, I am actually looking out for a straight sale, not trade at the moment. Thanks"[/size]


I shall let Sweetwater know that this is a scam.
