itsmedunc Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Granted folks, I have had a few beers but I don't know what this guy is on about? I don't know if its the blue font or the lack of grammar but it makes hard reading? I cant read beyond line 2. It makes me want to die. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bitsa-bass-tele-style-original-peg-head-precision-style-fender-strap-gigbag-/261343029272?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3cd9422818 Surely, my mother didn't bring me into this world to to die like this...

Ou7shined Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The pic of the back of the headstock has made my day Btw. I think he's speaking in Welch. We need a translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yepmop Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It truly is a FrankennonFender totally hideous in my eyes and a description to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It needs the pickup replaced with a single coil Tele style pickup set off centre in the hole, so you can see the wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Classy. Easy translation of garish blue text - ineptly assembled piece of garbage made mostly from shoddy junk parts. Two nice vintage tuners on it (Gotoh Resolites) - presumably he binned the others because they [font="Arial"][size="4"][i][color="#002cfd"]"WHERE A BIT LOOSE"[/color][/i][/size][/font] - shame he didn't notice the torque adjuster screws.

Beer of the Bass Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 At least the seller's name is refreshingly honest. Would you expect good workmanship from a guy called badworker1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I think I sold a bit of kit to this guy once on eBay, but thankfully I'm certain it wasn't anything that would have ended up on that... item Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Now thats interesting. How are they at lego and getting the right peg for the right hole? They could perhaps compile an educational package for the seller! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hand of john curley Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well coincidentally...they have recently done a very similar guide for a chap from 'cleartone guitars'....he needed a guide to turning perfectly acceptable 7 string guitars into utterly butchered monstrosities !.....😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktmman Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Dammit !!! I was going to bid until i noticed the screw missing from one of the tuners !!! That ruins it for me . But it was good of him to point out that something was wrong with this fine example - Edited December 8, 2013 by Ktmman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 A sad indictment of people's 'couldn't care less' attitude to grammar and punctuation once they leave school. I teach this stuff day in, day out; once children and adults get near a PC or mobile telephone, it all goes out of the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hand of john curley Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Apologies! I should indeed have used 'fewer errors' as the errors themselves are countable. If the 'devil may care' remark was aimed at me then I assure you that this is certainly not the case. I made a genuine mistake-albeit ironically, given the topic-as opposed to the truly awful eBay advert! In the meantime.....I'll get my coat!
