I think they are right, it's a very sympathetically done job showing just the right amount of wear......

[alyctes]

... and not a Fender body. Hmmm.

[Angel]

Waaaaay to much wear for my liking.

[pst62]

Not a trustworthy bloke at all

I'm always curious as to how anyone could cause so much damage to a Bass, just by regular playing...

These aren't 'Road Worn' unless your day job is playing Bass in a Fire-eaters band and he really doesn't like you.

+1 yeah, or maybe Road Worn means drag the instrument on the road while you are driving

[BetaFunk]

the only original early basses ive ever laid eyes on have all been in much better nick

The thing that REALLY annoys me with that guy is that he sticks a custom shop logo on the back of the headstocks. That really is conning people. Fender should sue his ass off.

[SlapbassSteve]

'made with Fender parts....'

Always annoys me when people confuse Squier with Fender. Nowt worse then finding a cheap 'Fender Precision' only to find it's actually a Squier Affinity. This fella must be MDP's welsh cousin...

Sorry, but i couldn't resist it!

I saw the original of this at an art exhibition some years ago and you're right the original is a lot longer.

I saw it at the exhibition of audio art they had at the Haywards Gallery (I can't remember it's proper name). I think it was only about 15-20 minutes long, but it seemed a lot longer at the time.

'Guitar Drag' by Christian Marclay was held at the Haywood on the South Bank in 2000.

It was also available on LP and CD.

It's the same guy who created this abortion -

have you seen this:

"You are bidding on the neck plate only".....

That is not mentioned in the title at all. Apparently he is offering the winner the chance to purchase the guitar.....Surely that is against eBay rules?

I've reported the sucker to eBay.

[jackers]

I've done the same, though I doubt ebay will pay attention.

[SlapbassSteve]

Reported him too. Not how ebay works that.

[BassPimp66]

I reported him to Fender too. I am little upset the guy uses "custom shop" logo for his s*** sanding job.

[jackers]

I politely messaged him saying his ad was dodgy and misleading, and he responded thanking me and saying he would amend it.
