the boy

We should go round his house and shave his beard off.

I am now convinced that this poor man is mentally ill. If there are any doctors on here can someone please assist him in finding the help he needs.

Pisch!!!!!!!!!!!The guy selling it is obviously a dickhead. Avoid.

It is a strange one then. Contact eBay.

Their max bid is higher than yours each time, when you place a bid they automatically outbid you. It will keep on happening until you outbid them.

I used to own one of these basses. They are lovely. They are really punchy.

[quote name='pst62' timestamp='1347545268' post='1802239'] I think there's a clue in his description I've bought two excellently priced brand new Mighty Mite necks off of him in the past (both outside of eBay), he's a good bloke and his listings are always honest. I think there's a fair few more on BC who can vouch for him too. [/quote] +1

He bought it as a project. Lol. I'm not surprised he never finished it off. It took too much effort to whittle up the spares.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1347405142' post='1800536'] Body grain looks quite nice, probably be reasonable if listed as japcrap, or possibly Korean, the narrow neckplate had some significance I forgot. [/quote] Looks like a Kay to me.

Don't waste your time mate. I reckon he's best avoided.

It lOoks like a pair of Elton Jons glasses from his coke days.

Inverted egg-burst.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1347009336' post='1795857'] Does anyone know where I can buy a skunk stripe? [/quote] Are you serious? If you are I'm sure any luthier or guitar builder could supply you with one. Try Mick at zoot guitars I'm sure he could help. he's very approachable.

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1346888055' post='1794643'] I teach 4 students at the moment, but I also visit my mentor for a lesson every 3 or 4 months. Sometimes its just a jam or he touches on something that might interest me theory wise or sharpen up my playing technique. Never too old or wise to have a lesson! [/quote] Made me giggle. Your mentor touches something.

I love the new strings sound when I'm playing but when I hear someone else playing with that deep flat sound that I really strive to achieve they always have old strings on. Weird.

[quote name='ogri' timestamp='1346250990' post='1787007'] hes gen, a lovely feller in fact, known him for years. have played the bass, its pukka, cannot understand why it hasnt sold yet [/quote] It's too cheap. If it was dearer it would be gone by now. Lol but it's the truth.

I've seen it all now. Please tell me that decal mod wasn't done with magic markers. It's a good job I'm reading this in bed because I would definitely have fallen over otherwise.
