I'm I missing something? Maybe a tin foil hat?

Must be the brass nut folks are going for. Interesting that it's got through body stringing. Don't know of any Squiers that have that.

Careful mate you might damage it photographing it on the concrete,o wait.....
I like abit of relicing but this is too far,I think it's the 'kids' buying this stuff up. Bloody hell that makes me feel old

I've just seen this on ebay & thought "I've got to tell the basschat crew" !!! BUT I've found the thread already...

I really don't see how anybody would want to buy a bass that looked like this, unless it was the real deal & had been made by the hands of god! (On a sunday of course as that's his/her day off, you wouldn't want him/her rushing with the paint job would you

[i][i]I think I'm going to set fire to one of my cheaper basses, kick it around the road and then beat it with a stick and then put it on ebay to see what happens![/i][/i]

To be fair, it's a very clever and well worded advert. I'd put money on it being bought by a youngster though. I can't see anyone with a bit of experience falling for such a hugely inflated price.

Why not? It's a commercial technique known as 'adding value'.
