Delberthot Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) You'd be amazed how that can happen professionally as well. I have a book on Cream and Jack & Eric's guitars are left handed, or rather then picture has been reversed and no one's bothered to check it. I was expecting one of those pictures that seem to be all the way through Ebay at the minute that look like someone has taken a close up picture of their guitar in a dark hole cos a lot of the stuff appearing in pictures could be anything.

Happy Jack Posted November 3, 2010 Author Posted November 3, 2010 Lighten up, mate. No one died, and if you can't see the funny side of that listing then you'd probably be happier over on Talkbass. Quote

You clearly havent been in 'Off topic' have you? The ebay section was added to this forum by me to put the very good, the good, bad and the ugly to the test and discuss it. If someone selling a bass cant even be arsed to put accurate pictures or descriptions on an advert selling their bass - I'm sorry but they deserve to be 'ripped a bit' in here. Nothing above is offensive or abusive. Quote

I wouldn't have expected a picture taken witha webcam to come out backwards, though it makes sense now. Quote
