This belonged to a lefty friend of mine from the Netherlands, who got it from the UK. I've played this one, and it is fantastic.

Buyers beware !

The seller is extremely rude and dishonest. We reached a deal at €2750 shipping included to France. He told me that I had his word. I told him that PayPal will be sent as soon as internal pics will be received. A day passed by and here was his reply:

‘Hi, I can send you the photos but ive decided that I wont sell it less than 3000 euros. This bass is very dear to me and I will only sell it at the right price. Thank you”

If you want to deal with a greedy, dishonest, rude seller go for it. In my case I’d rather pass.

I asked for more pictures have not received any yet. Very strange
3000 bugs is way too much and it comes without case.
If the seller is shipping like he is behaving ....

I seen this add of Facebook shortly before Paulo pasted and my thoughts were if you were going to sell something for a very high price you would think you would have many detailed photo's, especially of the solder joints and other key areas. In this day and age where my daughter has 5000 pictures of our dog on her phone you would think it would easy to have more than one of this bass. It stinks when a really cool bass is owned by someone who is not cool.

Am I wrong in thinking Fender is making these again, including lefties?
