A little duct tape and some new strings and it'll be good as new I'm sure! Quote
alyctes Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Trashed for a video. Somebody had more money than sense, IMO. Quote
JapanAxe Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Although I have no great love for 'coffee table' basses, I dislike wanton destruction of this sort. Quote
colgraff Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 At least he will post it with the utmost care. I wouldn't want it to get a ding in transit! Quote
HowieBass Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I'm disappointed there's no 'neck straight and true' or 'plays like butter' endorsements... Quote

SICbass Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 The guitar roadie swears it was like that when he opened the case guv'. Quote

[/quote] Waste of a Squier to be honest, given how good they are these days. Some sub £50 second hand vaguely P shaped thing would have done. Or a Thomann "for decoration only" job. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Not sure why he does all the upselling spiel about the Bass, when it is really just firewood.......? It may have a mono rail bridge but given there are no strings and the neck is f*cked, does the 'strong sustain' really matter? Quote

[/quote] I think it was just copied and pasted... but they do emphasize that the electronics aren't ruined - which is a central selling point. Maybe if they offered the electronics & hardware separately it'd be a more appealing purchase. Quote
