Is there any exemple of such kind of checklist on the internet ?

Well... somebody bid on it.

Good luck to them!

This is a first for me, but let me go on record as saying, what a bunch of jackasses these guys are.

I sent them an email question yesterday:

Dear vrg2006,

Hello, I was recently in contact with a friend who had an opportunity to inspect this bass first-hand at your store. He noted a few points that he believes may not be totally original or exactly as described in your listing. I would be interested in making you a fair cash offer for the bass, as I will be traveling during this auction. I'll be happy to give you a call to discuss. If interested, let me know ASAP, thanks very much.

And I get not 1, but 2 email responses to my question:

Response #1 (before anybody bid on it):

We believe the bass to be original and properly represented in the auction. Keep in mind we do this sort of thing for a living. If you have concerns about the bass you should address them yourself. I do have a nice American Standard Jazz bass in white that might be in your price range. Thank You, Neal

Response #2 (after somebody bid on it):

Get lost

This is how they're running a business? If I lived anywhere near this place I would be down there having a face to face conversation with them....
Shouldn't have come as a total surprise though, given this negative comment in their Ebay feedback rating:

*DANGER* you are at risk buying from this ebayer. you have been warned

Carmine -

If they sent you that email correspondence via Ebay - as opposed to your private email accounts - I'm pretty sure you can report them to Ebay.

Either way, I would be livid if I got an email like that. I'm furious already and I don't even know you LOL. I HATE unprovoked rude !@#$ like that!!!

Wow, what an asshole.

They need to be educated to the fact that Carmine has likely played, sold and owned way more basses than they have......

Carmine - you clearly provoked them by being professional.

BTW, where the hell is DAN? I'm SURE he would have some insights on this bass.

Pete

responses like those make me want to invoke the ghost of Keith Moon. i.e. go in there and trash the place. What a bunch of maroons!

Sold for $3850.00. Anyone here get it? Best of luck if you did.

I was close to. But it went way to high for me at the end. Oh well .

i know there are some out there....................

Anyone else notice this? The American Standard Jazz is not available left handed in white.

But hey, they do do this for a living...
