Annoying Twit Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1424789046' post='2700485'] How did you manage to see the offers? I had a look but can't see them. [/quote] Goofbay best offer tool. I don't know exactly how reliable it is, but it usually comes up with plausible best offers. [url="http://www.goofbid.com/ebay_best_offers_tool.html"]http://www.goofbid.c...ffers_tool.html[/url] Is there anyone around here who can check the best offers for their own items to check that it works properly? Personally I believe that if there was a bid of £1000, then it's probably not a serious offer. And that it will return again some time in the future. I wonder if the £250 offer was genuine.

tauzero Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 As I said earlier, I made a best offer on that of £55, JJW offered him £25, and ambient tried £1-50, and there are offers of £55, £1-50, and £24-99 listed. So it looks like it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I made an offer. But, I can't remember how much. I assure everyone it wasn't £1000! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Bassy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I would have thought it was worth a few quid for the component parts at least. Two reasonable pickups, 15 assorted tuners, and If the neck really is maple then it might be worth it just as a raw material (could probably get two sensible necks out of it!.

Annoying Twit Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1424900407' post='2701783'] I want to know how this instrument came into being. It looks like somebody approached one of the Chinese guitar makers and asked them to build a Chapman Stick. The owner then did some really hacky mods to it. Why though?!?! Why does this instrument exist? Why do the strings crowd into the tailpiece? How many strings should it really have? [/quote] I would guess it is being made because people are buying them. There will be a price at which anything will sell, no matter how bad it is. Because people are optimistic, and see something they really want and can't get elsewhere. And they start justifying to themselves that it can't be that bad. Or maybe they can fix it. Or.... Or: It could be for this reason: [url="http://www.sevenstring.org/forum/bass-guitar-discussion/161414-15-string-tennessee.html"]http://www.sevenstri...-tennessee.html[/url] [quote] [font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Anyone know where I can get one of the 15 string Tennessee basses? I know this thing has become hated, and for good reason. However I read in a review where someone got one from ebay for just $89! Hell, as an extended range instrument lover I NEED this, just to hang on my wall. I would love for someone to walk in and be in awe of my 6,7,8 strings and then I show em this! People are always buying big retarded things just for novelty, hell has anyone ever seen the Devastator dildo? There better not be a bitch that is using that! it better just serve as a dinner centerpiece! So, does anyone have any brand/store info that can help me find one of these things? lol[/font] [/quote] Edited February 25, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswareham Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I think you'll find that the correct comparison for the highest frequency string on that monstrosity is to the diameter of a gnat's cock.

40hz Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 £1000. REALLY?!! I honestly wouldn't pay more than £20 for this shower of s***e.
