Tennessee 15 string - how much??????

[colgraff]

So I think we can all agree that another 43 £75 price drops will bring it to the correct price.

Can't believe The Hard Rock Cafe aren't interested?

Its just occurred to me that he states how this bass is tuned. How could he possibly tune any of the lower strings?

[spectoremg]

If it's tuned in 4ths that ocean liner berthing wire has gotta be inaudible.

To humans, at least. Maybe it's made for playing whalesong, or elephant jive, or grizzly rap?

[tauzero]

I can't believe he's turned down my offer again.

"I have a son to pay for" Is this Madonna under a pseudonym?

[GisserD]

only £2975 ?????

[roman_sub]

I'd be suggesting adoption. No, not for the "bass"!

[spectoremg]

It's back, and at a more realistic price - £25k.

i just contacted him via ebay and he just sent me some audio clips of the bass being played..... interesting to say the least

[tauzero]

It's just plummeted in price to £2k5. A 90% price cut!

Well, now's definitely the time to get it, if anyone's been sitting on the fence over pulling the trigger on this beauty. 😂😂 Bargain indeed. 😂😂

How could you play it? The 13th and 14th strings seem to be touching from the nut to at least the 5th fret. Whilst the seller admits that the noise down there is "barely audible rumblings", surely this is not ok from a playing aspect, especially if you were to put it through a few octave up pedals.

I have a hunch that whoever sold it to him must have felt like he won the lottery...how else would you explain finding the only person in the world willing to buy such a monster? I understand the price...it has about £1,600 in it just in tuners!

[Twincam]

I contacted the seller a bit back. He seemed ok lol.
He once said he would sell. He freaked out and back out I did offer £25.000

[spectoremg]

He has no intention of ever selling it (IMO), it's just some kind of loony eBay trip for him.

Oh boy, here we go again.

[Jwlkr1991]

Price drop too

[Musashimonkey]

That's £2,250 well spent if anyone's money right there. 😃😬😂

It now says "audio on request"! I don't want to pester the guy with no intention of buying, but does anyone feel like sharing?

[ambient]

I'm guessing this hasn't always been a 15 string, maybe a 12 string originally ?

How much did he pay for it I wonder, there's no way it's worth more than a couple of hundred. Why not put it back to what it was meant to be, so at least it was then playable.
