If the deal is too good, it smells...

Frankly, the price on the Swiss site is not that far off the Euro price quoted in the fake ad...

Wow, I'm real close to asking the guy to ship it to me in USA for 700 Euro total.
If it had original electronics I'd do it quick. Maybe he has them still...

Hallo, wenn du Englisch sprichst, ist das vielleicht einfacher. Aber mit Technologie ist es vielleicht in Ordnung, wenn Sie nur Deutsch sprechen.

Würden Sie mir das für insgesamt 700 Euro in die USA schicken?

Hast du die Originalelektronik?

Das ist ein wunderschöner Bass!

How did google translate do at making my message in German?

A bit strange, but he will understand it. This shows me how my English will sound to a native speaker.

Now he went up from 560(?) to 700 ; not as interesting anymore

 

[RichardL]

It said 599 when I looked at it, added 100 for shipping. Anyway, he didn't want to send it to me, which I understand. Gonna hold out for one without modified electronics.

Ive seen bolt-on as early as 93’ at Dana B Goods when they were the US distributors.
@warwickhunt
So seriously bummed that I missed seeing your Streamer Demo. I would have nabbed that immediately.

I wasn't aware the BO basses were available that early... I'm doubting myself but 1991 seems way too early.
The Demo bass is so unique (and lovely) that I had a change of heart to leaving it to the chancers on ebay so I pulled the listing; I've actually just been playing it this morning.

Oh sorry it is 1993. I am sorry

No worries, I guessed it was a misread of the stamp.

So happy to hear that you pulled the listing!
