That's a definite, "I'll meet you inside the entrance to LA police station #XX" ;D

I think we've seen this one recently, with the odd control knobs.

The flame figuring around the bridge is the same. No shot of the signature on the front of the headstock on the CL posting, but that has to be the same bass. Agreed, the CL listing has all the hallmarks of a scam.

The serial number on the build sheet matches the listing in Tom's ebay link. No question it is a scam.
