Annoying Twit Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) For anyone capable of fixing it: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ARIA-FRETLESS-OVATION-STYLE-ACOUSTIC-BASS-RRP-239-/130485359148?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e6188922c"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ARIA-FRETLESS-OVATIO...=item1e6188922c[/url] Edit: Not that I'd try it myself, but it doesn't look too bad. Is that just a glue job? Though, of course the neck could be warped as well due to the force of whatever removed the neck from the body, [b]I guess[/b].

lemmywinks Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 They have quite a bit of factory damaged stuff usually, i sent them a message when they put up a load of damaged classicals asking what else the had kicking around and got some very good offers of slightly damaged higher end guitars. Worth keeping an eye on methinks, they're on my favourite seller list! Also the Sandpiper they have listed might go for a good price, they're excellent guitars. Compare favourably to a lot of expensive brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 I did look into what Peavey UK and Gear4Music damaged seconds were going for, but they seemed to go for what I thought unrealistically high prices. £68 for a Vintage V100 (or so) when you can pick up good condition ones for £100. Looking at their other damaged goods, another of the basses has been damaged in a very similar way.

Or weakness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah i noticed that one. Could be they had a few which weren't glued properly and came apart when tuned up to tension. Doesn't look like a break, i may be wrong but it does look like a simple enough repair. The classicals they had all suffered from the same neck problem which led me to believe they stick faulty batches on eBay, however they also put courier-damaged stuff on there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
