You can just imagine Arnie reading out the description! I think his sales patter may well ensure that nobody will ever buy it! Breadcrumbs?

"The design is extremely unreliable, can fly at a vigorous game with a string. "


Haaaaaaaa yet another classic !!

[Protium]

"subject to frequent breakdowns - bending plates, fragments of teeth"

[Beer of the Bass]

I managed to keep a straight face right up until it said "Please, look at the state of the photo."

Who could resist with a description like that. I have always wanted an unreliable guitar subject to frequent breakdowns which will account for broken teeth.

How do I pay?

I hate it when the photos don't back up the description. No sign of breadcrumbs or broken teeth.

Disappointed. I will not be bidding after all.

If i were the business type i would collect all these
listings and publish them in book form.
You know , the xmas stocking filler type that the wife/kids buy you on fathers day/ xmas..
There are too many aimed at motoring and sport etc . Maybe there is a gap on the shelves for us muso's?

Perhaps BassChat could publish it and bring in some revenue . I am sure many good humoured folk on here would be happy to buy it ...

Any ideas for a title ???

" The guitar is equipped with a spring-loaded plate with rubber mute the strings and creating "effect banjo."

Translated = The bass has a muted bridge system giving it a classic stingray sound rather than a P bass thump....
