ficelles Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 What's wrong with it? For £40 its selling point is the price and little else... ficelles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Yeah seems honest enough, £40 for a budget/starter bass Id guess it's better than my first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blademan_98 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I notice it's pickup only from [b]northampron[/b]. Not being able to spell where you live is not that inspiring Not bad a bass for £40 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grassie Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 It's not the price, it's the ad. No info whatsoever, mis-spelled "guitar" even though it's spelled properly on the header. Two poor photos. Not really an ad to make you think that you would be dealing with someone who know's what they're talking about eh? No info on any damage or possible inclusion of case. If I was selling my gear, I'd want to put as much info as possible on there so that potential buyers would know what they're getting for their money. Would you try selling a car on ebay like this? FOR SALE CAR FORD FOWCAS You wouldn't buy it either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see twenty-grand BMWs with illiterate descriptions all in capital letters. Too true - I wouldn't give them the time of day either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 It's a £40 bass. At this price so long as it has 4 strings and is vaguely bass guitar-shaped no one really cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jondeeman Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Totally agree that it's a waste of time posting this way on "The Bay". The assumption that it's hot, and that the seller hasn't got a clue what they're offloading is probably right. Here's one that caught my eye earlier....

It's also difficult to play bass hence why it's for sale. Whoops did I say that out loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Aww c'mon guys, might be a parent with no guitar knowledge trying to sell on a son's cast-off instrument or unwanted present. Might be a jilted partner selling the other half's pride and joy to get even... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero9 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Looks okay to me. Forty quid's a steal. I'd be tempted to go and have a look if I was in Northampton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
