Looks like it's in decent shape and the price isn't terrible.

I just love it when sellers use part of this site to compliment their listings (NOT). NEVER has one even said "Thanks" much less donate a part of the sale for the site's upkeep. If it wasn't so reasonably priced I'd probably report the listing.

The CSBs are short scale basses which makes it easy for a guitar player to wing it. I had one identical but in near mint condition and sold it not long ago.

Looks like the seller upped the price.

I also noticed it is listed as a CS-400 6-string.

Rather than reporting the listing to Reverb I chose to ask the seller to replace the screen crop with an image that cites the source of the information. Here is what I sent him:


Quote:
Hello Michael,

It is considered common courtesy to cite the source for content used in a listing taken from another site such as "Specifications courtesy of" or "Image courtesy of."

I don't mind if you use content taken from the Guitar Gallery so long as the source is indicated. You have a screen crop of the following page in your listing.

http://www.matsumoku.org/cm_models/2021 ... s-guitars/

Please replace it with the image I have provided which cites the source. This way both parties benefit.

Thank you for your consideration and attention in this matter and good luck with the sale.

I feel I've been reasonable.

Reasonable, indeed. Unfortunately, your generosity was not respected. The image they have up is not the one you sent, still does not cite the source. Not cool, michael. Plus the price raise? Really not cool, mikey.

Well, it looks like the bass sold. Now the link points to a CS-400 instead. $500 isn't too bad. I changed the original post to account for the change in the link.

Got a reply back. What a tool. At the bottom of every page on the site it clearly states "Copyright © 2000 - 2022 K. N. Keyser" If he did in fact report me he might just get his tit caught on the wringer for copyright infringement.
