alittlebitrobot Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 "The offer level was met previously by two buyers who then didn't bother to pay for it." ..still gives me a chuckle. Quote

Norris Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Anybody who is naughty on basschat is sent this bass and has to post a video of them playing it with their band to avoid being banned from the site - the Sawnplank Redemption Quote

yorks5stringer Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 If you did win the Bass you would have to start tuning it now to get it ready in time....! Wonder if that D'Adarrio String 50% offer would apply too? Quote

EliasMooseblaster Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Oddly enough I received one of those emails from eBay the other day with the subject line "Don't let it get away!" (Read: "you're not buying enough on here"), which turned out to be none other than the above monstrosity. They obviously assumed that I was interested from the fact I'd dropped back for a second chuckle at it. For a minute I almost thought some daft sod had bid on it...

yorks5stringer Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I may have said this before , but the postage is very reasonable as it must weight 15-20 kg? Quote
bartelby Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Blimey, he's hacked that 8 String HB guitar a touch. Not as much as the bass, obviously... Quote
