Ou7shined Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1337597120' post='1662395'] Weren't these like £40 when they went on offer? [/quote] I think they were 60... but I have seen them sold for more on here. I saw a rough body go for 60 although it wasn't openly disclosed as a SR - it was simply advertised as a P bass type body. Nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Surely it's worth the extra for the[i][b] dark blue maple fingerboard [/b][/i]... there's not many of them about, y'know. Love the photo though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottomE Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 You are essentially bidding on a photo of something mysteriously shrinkwrapped. It could be almost anything. Mad. Will anyone bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Because from this photo (for what it's worth... the point of this thread) there is no way of knowing if it is indeed what the description says it is... in fact to be honest it's quite hard to tell through the ectoplasm that it actually is a bass. If it really is yours then I apologise for my comment earlier...it's just the sheer despondency in the description tickled me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if someone doesn't trust the description says what it is, why would they bid at all, and why would I want to deal with them. I can basically make a little more than that from the bass should Is trip it for parts, this is just a chance it gets to not be dismembered, up until some parts of it become otherwise useful.

gjones Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Why bother taking a photo of it in the first place. He could have used a photo of a cloud or the inside of his lens cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 They were £60, I bought 6 of them and sold them all on here for £60 as so many people wanted them and our local shop had a lot of them. That shop closed down soon after In fact I will be listing one shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 If Mr F would have removed the shrink wrap to photo the bass then it would be less new. Where's everyone's sense of humour gone?
