A tribute to the bass players of Pompeii ?

[loweringthetone]

I'm dumbfounded by the utter futility and worthlessness of the venture that produced this abomination......

I am off to Vesuvius next year, I could sort something for a small fee if anyone is interested............

Now I just happen to have an Encore that I'd like to enter for the Turner prize.......

"[size=4][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][font=Arial][color="#331333"]It is a Jazz Bass style body that Chavez personally walked up Mount Vesuvius and held under a lava flow at the[b] customers request[/b] [[i]sic[/i]]"[/color][/font][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][font=Arial][color="#331333"]So can I presume the customer who made this request looked at the results (and/or the wonky neck pickup) and changed his mind?[/color][/font][/font][/size]

Or perhaps it's hard to play whilst wearing a straight jacket?

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.

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.

As above

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

Personally I'd just chuck it in the Atlantic.

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.

Are you suggesting that somebody on eBay is saying something other than the truth??? Has that ever happened??
