alittlebitrobot Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I love this. It makes me laugh every single time I see it and it still contains my favourite part of the unchanging description: "The body is made of a thick ply material" The object is constructed of matter. Make me an offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next bass chat event anyone ?! [/quote] I think it's a fair assumption that this is an unplayable piece of absolute crap, so I wondered about the parts.. I priced the pickups and the emg phase inverter, knocked a bit off because they're second hand and then thought I'd give about 25 quid for the tuners and bridge pieces (not sure how many haven't been twisted beyond use). Also, assuming the hardcase is decent enough to sell on, I think I'd pay about £130 for this. Then £25 shipping. Take the parts, burn the rest. So, I think £200 is the absolute upper limit of what this abomination is worth. A mere stones throw from £9,999,999. I wonder how low he's willing to go.

[/quote] Low enough to entertain buying and selling the abomination in the first place. It should be carefully cleaned, placed in a glass case and then tied to several tonnes of masonry and dropped into the deepest part of the drink, never to rise again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Excellent value shipping though to be fair. I'm also approaching the seller to see if he does private work on commission. I have to get a custom strap, buttons and locks as modelled on this, outstanding craftsmanship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 This is how an EUB should look. This only has 12 strings, and is done properly. [attachment=188725:10670173_1475734249357082_7388294038487589626_n.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
