Hi, looking at the photo in ebay it seem that the G string is too much close to the edge of the neck, while in the headstock photo it seem right, so i guess there is a neck / body coupling problem or a warped neck. Can you post better photos ?

Thank you

If it's a photo problem, he should probably take/show some add'l photos.

Or not, hoping someone will buy a bass that appears to have an unplayable string. :idea:

Instead of dropping the price and relisting, why not correct the "photo problem"?

I have responded and answered all questions put forth to me regarding this bass , ok ,so one string is/or might be a bit off , neck is perfectly straight , , ever hear of adjusting a bass to your playing standards ? when you go buy a new car ,you sit with the salesman in the dealership and go over all the aspects of the car and your deal , , when you buy a used car , you hope to get something good ,but knowing acknowledge that you might have to do a bit of work to get it to where you like it !! you know the old saing " it is what it is " . . . too many tire kickers lately ! i personally would be a bit apprehensive when i spend $10,000 , , but when i buy a box of cereal , i tend to just buy it and enjoy it . . people should just play their basses and get a life !

You alluded to a "photo problem," so I'm simply following up:

...i do see the G string a bit close to the edge of the neck ,but not as bad as the picture depicts it ,for whatever reason, maybe a photo problem ?


Good to learn the there is no photo problem and therefore you've represented the bass very accurately with your photos. While your description doesn't mention that only 3 strings are playable, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Sure, and yes, having all strings be playable one of my personal "playing standards." :lol:

So, you're saying that forum members here shouldn't discuss lefty basses for sale? :?:

Why can't I post my questions here, in this thread, which you started, about your bass for sale? :?:

Yes, I'm "persnickety" because I want my bass to have 4 playable strings. What a nit-picker! A 10%er! Stay away! :D
