[/quote] He he! Thanks for the tip, I know it's not everyone's preference but I've kind of taken pride in never cleaning this bass - I much prefer seeing the history in it and maybe it's just me but I think a grubby road worn bass is the kind of instrument that has clearly 'lived' and somehow carries a bit of a story. It's only my humble opinion but if I was looking for a bass its one of the things that would attract me personally. Appreciate your input though.

A lived in bass is one thing, a dirty bass would give me the impression the owner didnt care and hadnt looked after the bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendredmusic Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Man I don't understand why all you snobby bass players are so bothered about the fact I haven't "wiped" the bass? Whats wrong with you all? If you like the tokai then buy it and wipe it yourself - no need to be a little bitch and moan about it! It's clearly an amazing bass, if it bothers you then you can always wipe it yourself when it arrives or if your scared of breaking a nail then you can get your butler to do it - it won't change anything, it will still be the same kick ass bass.

Clarky Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Dealing on an unregulated forum such as BassChat is all about mutual trust. With respect greendredmusic you are not coming across as someone it would be nice to do business with. Call me a mommy's boy or whatever, I couldn't care less. But I wouldn't buy a bass off you unless you dropped the attitude and became more helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask yourself the question, how many comments have you had saying yeah, the dirty bass makes it look better versus the people who say it looks naff. If you sell it at full price, good luck to you, if it doesnt sell, or only reaches minimum price, ask yourself whose bothered about it, It wont be me, and ask yourself how many people have been put off by your refusal to clean it and your arrogant attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Interesting, and possibly should be being discussed elsewhere, but - I don't scrupulously clean my basses that often, just a wipe over from time to time, however I wouldn't consider selling a bass that wasn't immaculately clean,. Personally I find it f*cking vile to buy an instrument & then have to spent hours scraping some disgusting sod's encrusted filth off it before I can stomach playing it. Maybe that's just me but it happens a lot. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
