discreet Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ah, the ten million pound bass is back! Why it doesn't just get snapped up is beyond me! Surely worth every penny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) [quote name='funkgod' timestamp='1428184937' post='2739002'] ahhh its been up then, bugger, sorry. [/quote] Not at all, I never get tired of marveling at it! It's hard to believe not only that someone would create this abomination in the first place, but then list it on eBay in the hope of selling it? What's going on there, then??

Roger2611 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 12 offers and still no sale, and it's been advertised since year dot...I think the seller has a different preception of its value compared to everybody else! i did offer to take it off his hands if he paid me a tenner and covered the postage....never got a reply, must be considering all the similar offers!

Drax Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 My £50 was rejected last time. The photo gets me. I just want to clamp it in that WorkMate and attack it with a bandsaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 A few of us have made various offers to him, all have been rejected. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/256223-he-is-getting-desperate/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/256223-he-is-getting-desperate/[/url] It was originally a 10 string, I have no idea why he's done this to it.

Dazed Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I hope it comes with that handy multi purpose stand / work bench. I'm very tempted if it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitrobot Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This gets posted all the time and it always amuses me. You have to give the seller some credit for sheer stubbornness. Anybody else would've realised months ago that this is a load of old crap, but he's sticking with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlungerModerno Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It's back!

timmo Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It wouls appear someone gave him an offer he couldn`t refuse, but the buyer reneged on the offer. Anything over £100 offer has got to be a prank offer hasn`t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 We could club together and buy it, then burn it. That might stop it coming back. Maybe... Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswareham Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm ashamed that this utter abomination comes from my home town of Farnborough. There again, I knew there was a reason I got the hell out of there as soon as I could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The only reason it hasn't sold is because "Binkybass" on here hasn't seen it As an aside, do you think it would be any good for metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Sorry to say I've never heard of him. But then I'm quite sure he's never heard of me, either. I don't get why you'd buy a bass on the strength of it being previously owned by a 'celeb'. What possibly difference can it make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
