Oh dear. All the talk of country basses has not prepared me for this!

[PlungerModerno]

I'm sorry this has happened.

As in the title, this is hard to look at .

It's made me feel a little bit sick.

[KingBollock]

Oh no, he owns other instruments too! Quick, someone call the RSPBG!

[alyctes]

He suggests that I should grab myself a great bargain. I wonder if he knows of any?

I have to say, randomly hacking chunks of wood out of your bass is quite a novel way to make it light enough for a woman to lift...

[ezbass]

For the love of God, why?!!

I don't have a particular problem with relicing in itself, as long as there's some logic to it. The top horn, fair enough. The centre and end top edges, OK. Behind the pickups, fine. But WTF happened under the bridge??

Mice infestaition if you ask me, fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your prospective I guess, the mice were unable to climb up and eat the headstock

I searched in vain for a barf emoticon so I have had to link to this one:

Exactly my thinking. Relicing done by someone who doesn't actually play perhaps

This one's more in keeping with the style of the forum emoticons. You can borrow it, but I'll need it back for Off Topic later on.

This is the guy who sells Deco and B Stock HB's as "German Engineered". On that basis this is "Newquay Engineered" and casts a shadow on it's great woodworking tradition...

I see he also has a Growler for sale.

[chriswareham]

Doesn't selling growlers break the law on soliciting?

It's not illegal if you're using it to make a porn film.

Bad workmanship?

[rushbo]

No.

[RickyV]

I particularly like the condition description he has chosen:

[color=#333333]Manufacturer refurbished: [/color][size=3]An item that has been professionally restored to working order by a manufacturer-approved vendor.[/size][size=3]This means the product has been inspected, cleaned and repaired to meet manufacturer specifications and is in excellent condition. [/size]

Words fail me!!

[cameltoe]

I cried with laughter at that headstock. It looks like a smurf's sock!

And the pickguard has blatantly been made out of an old ice cream tub.

Pretty convincing wear though. If it was owned by Wolverine.

[tauzero]

Somebody bought it. Should have gone to Specsavers.
