Classic. Is this a Basschatter?

Weren't these like £40 when they went on offer?

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.

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.

[i].... rubbish pic because I only unwrapped it far enough to see it wasn't as expected, then sat about debating whether to send back....[/i]

I'm surprised he had the energy to switch his camera on.

Royston Vaseys wedding photographer is still getting plenty of work then.

[Mr. Foxen]

That's mine. Chucked it up on free listing weekend, waiting for the shop guy to come collect it.

[BottomE]

You are essentially bidding on a photo of something mysteriously shrinkwrapped. It could be almost anything. Mad. Will anyone bid?

[Mr. Foxen]

Not familiar with Ryder basses then? Plenty of info on them right here.

[ahpook]

that'll be the laura palmer signature model

Yes, very familiar. I remember all the threads about the £59 deal they were doing at the time.

[Mr. Foxen]

So how can you not know what it is then?

What about all the people who don't know what it is? I am just pointing out that it is a ridiculous photo. What is the point of posting a photo of shrinkwrap? You could have lifted a photo from the interweb of a proper Sue Ryder bass. Anyway, good luck with the sale.

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.

Being still wrapped is a fairly significant property of the item, a pictoral depiction of the fact it is unplayed and effectively as new. 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.

Ha ha. Until I read the comments I assumed the seller had uploaded the wrong photo off their camera.

I'm still secretly hoping that [i]is[/i] the case!

Looks a bit like the pod Derek Smalls finally emerges from?

[gjones]

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.

[tom1946]

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.

[Al Heeley]

lets hope you can upstage the crap bag shot

[GreeneKing]

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? After all it's not as if it's a bloody Alembic

aaah, [i]somebody's[/i] paying attention

[lettsguitars]

I like the 'this is rather delicate' bit. A precision? Weren't they originally designed as battering rams?
