TPTroll Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 In all fairness, £1000 is pretty good value when you think of the scrap metal value of all those strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I pushed the boat out a bit with a slightly higher 2-digit offer, and got counter-offered £850. Somehow, I've resisted the temptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ras52 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1443823369' post='2878070'] Clean tidy routing! Those pickups will be a bear to adjust, as he's crowned the height adjuster screw heads. Pilot holes? Wazzat?

Annoying Twit Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 It does have Seymour Duncan pickups, which would justifiably boost the price if they were installed properly. Surely they would be worth more than the rest of the instrument put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) It's back and he's taking bids: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OFFERS-THROW-NUMBERS-AT-THIS-TENNESSEE-15-STRING-EXTENDED-RANGE-BASS-/291591372465?hash=item43e4333eb1:g:bJwAAOxycgVTixwQ"]http://www.ebay.co.u...JwAAOxycgVTixwQ[/url] It's currently at £10.50 - I stuck in a bid because it would be worth it just to [a] strip the parts and sell them and [b] destroy the rest and post the photos here Edited October 16, 2015 by anzoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colgraff Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It would be worth buying and making a new Bass Relay Thread. Maybe some sort of prize for people who can play a recognisable tune with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I bid £22.50 - and was outbid... I was hoping to take it Bass Bashes - just realised that at some stage I'd have to change the strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every custodian has to perform a pointless modification to the instrument. [/quote] Now that is a great idea!!!

colgraff Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've just noticed that it does have strap locks. Instead it has heavy duty wall eyelets things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzoid Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Up to £31 - must be an all time high... to be honest, I'm a bit put off by the routing around the pickups, kind of lets down the whole thing really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1445114227' post='2888951'] I bet that he is bidding against himself. [/quote] I thought that. He's so convinced that it's worth a lot of money that I can see him letting it go for the £200 that I wildly, very wildly, guesstimate that it would actually go for if the auction ran properly. My thoughts were that he's probably put in a high (e.g. £800) shill bid as a hidden reserve. The other alternative is that there may be auction wreckers who think it's funny to use a throwaway account to bid the price way up then not pay.

tauzero Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I went a bit higher than you, AT. Definitely not three figures though. And not only is it up to three figures (before the decimal point), the first digit is 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I suspect this will not be the last time this is listed. He'll find some spurious reason not to go through with the sale and then relist it, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_sub Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 To be fair, he is probably quite attached to it, by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
