itsmedunc Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Not sure if this has been on a thread before - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brian-Eastwood-Bender-Collision-bass-guitar-/272519379512?hash=item3f736bba38:g:17AAAOSwjDZYd2T3 It's truly horrible! I feel sick looking at it! Quote
timhiggins Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Proof that LSD and luthiery dont mix !! Quote
paul_5 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Looks a little unorthadox, but Brian Eastwood makes exceptional instruments. He's also really good at making other manufacturer's sh*t ones sing just a little bit more. Quote
alyctes Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I like that, so long as I don't have to play it. Quote

Imagine a Fender Precision battered to within an inch of total destruction, but still (just) playable. Quote

[/quote] Apart from the missing 13th fret and the rather bent 14th, I don't think that there is anything that would actually get in the way of being able to play it. It did come up for sale a few years ago, but the price was too high for me to buy essentially as a joke. Quote
