loweringthetone Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm dumbfounded by the utter futility and worthlessness of the venture that produced this abomination...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/812-Guitars-Custom-Bass-/361677361913?hash=item5435a692f9:g:kdgAAOSwtnpXpPc4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bay Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Or perhaps it's hard to play whilst wearing a straight jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I think you guys are being a touch harsh. I quite like that bass. Very different to most things you see. If it were half the price, i might consider it. Edited December 21, 2016 by tommorichards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Oh right, it's this one again. It's worth considering that the descriptions attached to items listed on Ebay might occasionally turn out to be a pack of lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) If Chavez had really ventured up Mount Vesuvius and held this under a lava flow, I would suspect that bits of Chavez would also be part of the finish! Maybe he needs to raise money for plastic surgery "Generally I ship within 24 hours but I often travel throughout the US to acquire the guitars". Personally I'd just chuck it in the Atlantic.

chriswareham Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Lots of bull in that description. There are no lava flows on Vesuvius currently, only sulphourus steam vents. I don't think there has been any lava flows since 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
