Wow, is that a real 1964 5 string Jazz Bass? It looks soooo authentic.

"This is better than a custom shop model" Should have gone to Specsavers?

Exactly what natural process have they reproduced by putting a bloody big burn slap bang in the middle of the rear body? Sex on Fire? Live in Montreaux? Is it a Fender-Burns? Did someone use the ashtray and it burnt through?

Barf!!! I don't mind relicing if done well, but some people...... Well words fail me. I think that there's a gap in the market for relicing tutors. This is just pain nasty.

What he says it's not is exactly what it is. Awful, awful, awful, ruined a perfectly good instrument.

It looks like sh** . On the other hand, at 99p start price, I may consider buying it for 5 GBP for spares

[Angel]

Are you guys joking??? that bass is awesome!!!! I cried just admiring its beauty.

Nah, it's a wind up - it's horrible. Having said that. I'd gladly have it cheap and remove that finish if I still played 5 strings.

I don't get the relic thing at all so whether it's a custom shop or a bloke with a sander they all seem as pointless as each other to me.

Read the feedback he gets....they love him. There's obviously a market out there for these black and decker jobs. There's nowt so queer as folk.

"Distressed"? I'd have described it as "suicidal".

I hope you are not being "distressophobic".....

He must have been confused. He use the back as an ashtray instead of fitting them to the front.

I don't know about a sander , it looks like he's used a flamethrower .

[Dandelion]

I don't understand the attraction of a pre-roadworn bass?



IMO It's analogous to passing over Katherine Jenkins in favour of Jocelyn Wildenstein.

[Joker2807]

you wouldnt pay more for a car if someone had beat the sh*t out of it so why would you on a bass ... beats me ??

More evidence of the horror & butchery [url="https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/103790762953751177073/albums/5809487362827813873"]HERE[/url]

I am afraid I REALLY cannot see what anyone sees in this sort of BS

[quote]Q: Hi - how much does it weigh? Was it relic'd at the factory, or is that something you've done?
A: Weight is 4.25KG And yes i relic'd it, I relic guitars for a living, so its a very professional job.[/quote] - for which read "I totally f#ck up guitars for knobs like you so you don't have to. Yours an even bigger one"

[Ultima2876]

Wait, it ended at 99p with no bids? I'd have took it for a quid... what happened? Wish I'd have read about this yesterday...

Or did it have a reserve?

Perhaps a blind person bought it direct from his website.

[mep]

Keep an eye out for it's re-listing. Bet it goes for few quid with some of you keen to get your hands on it for spares!
