JJW Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Would anyone on here buy this? I certainly wouldn't but it definitely isn't something you see on eBay that much. I think . http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575090229&toolid=10001&campid=5337531593&customid=Ygg&icep_item=200818594017&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg Quote

alyctes Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Not only wouldn't I buy it, I'd be very reluctant to deal with anyone who owned it. Quote

[/quote] From the US, so not sure if UK Customs would object? Imagine carrying it on the Tube to a gig? Ironically my self-made EUB fits nicely into a soft Shotgun case, although there are no Tubes down here and I don't gig it anyway.... Quote
JJW Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 It's looking like it wouldn't matter about the UK customs because it doesn't seem like many people would buy one. Quote
wotsy Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) There's been one for sale on Guntree, errm, I mean Preloved for well over 6 months now.... http://m.preloved.co.uk/m/showadvert/109633232/laurel-ar15-machine-gun-bass-guitar.html Edited July 17, 2014 by wotsy Quote
TheGreek Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 They used to have one in Denmark St back in the mid 80s....probably still there. Quote
Dad3353 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 There was one in stock in a magazine that I had my sights on, but I didn't pull the trigger. They're a barrel of laughs, though; the problem is getting shot of it; the folks recoil from buying 'em. Quote

Some people would just have bought it automatically. Quote
madshadows Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I wonder if anyone will bite the bullet and buy it John Quote
johnDeereJack Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Peter Tosh played an M16-style guitar quite a lot. I imagine this bass would have suited Robbie Shakespeare down to the ground! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-GLMTQSwJs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-GLMTQSwJs[/url] Quote
waynepunkdude Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 These sometimes come up for £30-40 they are absolute sh*te. Quote
