I can’t work this out – basically some guy in America has decided to sell his Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) MIM Jazz on ebay, but…in 3 parts?!

He’s selling the neck in one auction - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Mark-Hoppus-Blink-182-Jazz-PRECISION-BASS-NECK_W0QQitemZ360071010663QQihZ023QQcategoryZ64401QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Mark-Hoppus-B...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]
The body in another - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Mark-Hoppus-Blink-182-Jazz-P-BASS-LOADED-BODY-NR_W0QQitemZ360071006397QQihZ023QQcategoryZ64400QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Mark-Hoppus-B...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]
And then the tuners in another - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blink-182-Mark-Hoppus-Fender-Jazz-Precision-Bass-TUNERS_W0QQitemZ360071016819QQihZ023QQcategoryZ41434QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blink-182-Mark-Hoppu...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

? :) ?

Maybe it’s something in the water over there…or maybe he thinks he will get more money this way some how? I’d have thought that if anything he’s likely to get a lot less cash for this fairly common MIM bass by selling it this way.

What a nutter

In general terms.

You can get more for some instruments by breaking them into parts. Vintage jobs with a few non original bits for instance - or modern ones with upgrades.

Seen Wall Street?? Folk buy a failing company because they know that by selling off it's assets they'll make a profit. The machinery - so much , the land - so much etc. Same thing.
