I'm I missing something? Maybe a tin foil hat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Rider Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 [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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a commercial technique known as 'adding value'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
