Matt P Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 [indent=1]whoa! that's a beast, not sure about some of the features though, eye bolts as strap buttons? and the tuners look like guitar ones to me. and don't get me started on the bridge (no intonation adjustment and 15 strings anchored into 9 single string anchors?)[/indent] [indent=1]Matt[/indent] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsmedunc Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Quite frankly, it's sh*te. Anybody who bought it would have to be thicker than the lowest string... Edited October 14, 2014 by itsmedunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Anyone going to make a best offer? The scrap value of the metal on it must be worth a few bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not set it up somewhat sanely and sell it as a 9 stringer? and £1,000? come on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 What a piece of sh*t. Seriously. The .317 or whatever it isstring iisn't even over the fretboard! Burn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 As there are 10 string anchors (not 9), if it was a reasonable price it might make a usable 10-string tapper, or even a 10-string straight ERB - the bottom 5 strings are a waste of space so it would be easy to work out which ones to get rid of.

UglyDog Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 [quote name='binky_bass' timestamp='1413820582' post='2582344']What a piece of sh*t. Seriously. The .317 or whatever it isstring iisn't even over the fretboard![/quote] Neither is the top .008 string. I also love the way that two of the bottom four strings are actually touching each other from the third fret down to the nut. Not that it'll make much difference to the inaudible mush. Am I right in thinking that that bottom F would be something like 5½ hertz?? [quote]Burn it.[/quote] I wouldn't insult my fireplace with it.
