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.

Let's all chip in for it then have a ceremonial burning !!!!! Next bass chat event anyone ?!

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.

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

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!

Edit - I believe KNE is short for keep needing ebay

This is how an EUB should look. This only has 12 strings, and is done properly.

I think if I was playing a 12-string fretless, I'd need to look for divine inspiration to work out where to put my fingers too.

I am told that he expects a bid in the high hundreds or something over a thousand quid for this.

And when does he expect this bid?

If anyone ever wants to believe that human beings have retained their optimism, a quick look at ebay will confirm this for them. I'd guess he's expecting a huge bidding war any day now.

After a sudden wave of localised hyperinflation reduces the Pound Stirling to about the same value as the late Italian Lire.
