Am I being too cynical...

Or do you also get a few red flags on this Craigslist ad?
Nice looking bass though.

One can't be TOO cynical re: Craigslist.

Funny. If I wanted a B302 I'd check the bass out. if you talk to people who do not know Guilds you will get all kinds of misinformation and Guild was inconsistent. The best way to make my point would be if I could find the picture of the bass that Guild sold that is the JS body but has the B302 pickups, controls and pickguard. Factory Frankenstein.

WELL said.

Well... I focused on the instrument because if the description is dicey we're done. But if the instrument seems legit my limited experience with CL suggests that sometimes a "safe" transaction can be negotiated in spite of what the ad says.

But yeah, they don't seem to be concerned with protecting anyone but the seller in a possible transaction.

So, any updates? Did you pursue this?

It just doesn't feel right to me, so it's a pass.
