<div class="bbWrapper">The only photo in it is pretty small, but looks kind of familiar. Thoughts?<br /> <br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=4713&amp;item=7312683099&amp;rd=1" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=4713&amp;item=7312683099&amp;rd=1</a></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Seconded. Fotopic.com seems to be down right now so I can&#039;t fish it out, but the background definitely looks like it came from one of DavTran&#039;s SR photoshoots. SCAM</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I just e-mailed the seller for more pics, 0 feedback=no bids from me.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">definatly from <a href="http://musicmanbassman.fotopic.net/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://musicmanbassman.fotopic.net/</a>.... its from the 20th Nov 2004 Musicman Stingray 4 Autumn Red &quot;collection&quot;</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Been a member for a week &amp; is trying to sell a high dollar item on the first shot. &quot;Survey Says: XXX&quot;</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper"><blockquote data-attributes="" data-quote="barkatozz" data-source="" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> barkatozz said: </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> Been a member for a week &amp; is trying to sell a high dollar item on the first shot. &quot;Survey Says: XXX&quot; </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> the first thing i sold on ebay was my strat, and i had 0 refs? but yea, smells like a scam</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Maybe he doesn&#039;t have a digital camera and is using Davtrans pic as an example?<br /> <br /> Just a thought....</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Here&#039;s the original photo ..... <a href="http://musicmanbassman.fotopic.net/c346729.html" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://musicmanbassman.fotopic.net/c346729.html</a> <br /> <br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

Could be the legitimate owner???<br /> <br /> Why would it need a £100 setup if it was bought new?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The &quot;seller&quot; also won&#039;t reply to questions, so I guess he&#039;s screwed now, thanks to Fred.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">The high bidder&#039;s feedback &quot;left for others&quot; makes interesting reading <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></div>

That&#039;s no head.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">There&#039;s too many scams on Ebay.<br /> <br /> Here&#039;s another obvious one..<br /> <br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=4713&amp;item=7312840989&amp;rd=1" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=4713&amp;item=7312840989&amp;rd=1</a><br /> <br /> ....should ask the &#039;seller&#039; what colour is the bass</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Mmm, the case for the defence is looking shaky.<br /> <br /> Especially as no queries are being answered. That said, he / she might not access to their email account at the moment.<br /> <br /> Again, just a thought....</div>
