eubassix Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 ..... absolute gem here from somebody who claims to be 'russeldaviesmusic' (so he should know better!):- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270695326414&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] I think he managed to get every 'fact' wrong in the opening para. (unless D.Wilkes has had some work/involvement with Zoot/Iceni .. but it's not one of his basses anyway) ..." ..i'm selling it at a reasonable price i believe..."... says Mr.Davies: yet here's where he bought it a few weeks ago :- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130465844510"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130465844510[/url] His luthier (if he exists) seems to have some bizarre ideas about truss-rods (which is mentioned but not pictured) yet is unable to recognise woods !!!

Ou7shined Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 That description is the funniest thing I've read in ages. It's like something we'd make up on here to relieve the boredom. "I bought a sh*t bass with a twisted neck. What will I do? I know make up some sh*t about it and flog it for profit". He should go back to his "luthier" and tell him that aircraft propellers have been adopted universally (well globally at least) ..... on aircraft.

Jim makes fantastic, if a little idiosyncratic, guitars & his strat pickups remain personal favorites of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eubassix Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 ... looks like he's now realised that he made a mistake with this one (started it at £275, then 200, then 175, then 150 .. now down to £120 obo...) :- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270695326414&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] but he's got away with similar in the past (pity the poor guy who bought the £40 acoustic for £130, with only 20-days between auctions.) :- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150515040814"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=150515040814[/url] = [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270666083733"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=270666083733[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Haha BC gets a mention in the listing. I wonder who this "luthier" is that can't set up his bass for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eubassix Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 .. he's off / it's up again (must finally be back from the holidays). Back up to £175 .. can't be bothered comparing with the previous listing(s), but I'm sure there'll be changes ... :- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270706556113&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I must remember to namecheck several unconnected luthiers next time i try to sell a bass. If anybody wants to buy a Sue "cough Shuker cough" Ryder RP1 bass in navy "cough ACG cough" blue for only five times what it's "cough Zoot cough" worth then throw me a PM! Also, when there's so much obvious BS in a listing is it still wrong to put in annoying offers? I have an urge to offer him £14.74 purely because of the fact he's trying to mug someone with a dud bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
