It's a bargain - the 4-string version is £18,000.

[Downdown]

I wonder how much he bought it for?

[TheGreek]

At least there are no outlandish claims with this. Anybody stupid enough to buy this only has themselves to blame.

Afterthought: who only needs two strings?

[grandad]

I'm sticking 2 fingers up to that one.

Mark Sandman.

[BigRedX]

And Stig Petersen from DAD

[Hellzero]

Stig Petersen only needs one string, it's even better as it will only cost 4,5 K. ;-)

[Happy Jack]

It looks like a pretty obvious piss-take to me.

I particularly like the B&Q steel reinforcement being used as a tailpiece.

[FinnDave]

At least two zeros too many in that asking price

[Guest MoJo]

Thankfully, it's extremely rare

[lucky]

Never ask never get... but also asking 9k too much probably never gets either.

Free postage though, that makes it a steal

I threw in a £30 offer

[Dan Dare]

Is it April 1st yet?

[kodiakblair]

It's a Connolly-2 Punk bass from Krappy Guitars. 8th down right hand side.

http://www.krappyguitars.com/punkbass.html

Krappy is even cheaper than Wishbass. $95 for a one string fretless

[Grangur]

Why would you want a 2 string bass?
It's far better to have 4, so you can have 2 Es and 2 As in case you break a string.

[GisserD]

i offered 9

i still kinda hope he rejects it...

[fiatcoupe432]

I ve asked him what so special about this instrument and what's the make/maker the year was build and the tuning;-) and here is his reply

Good afternoon

The guitar was designed initially for a musician who collected unique two-string instruments, and was hand-made by a craftsmen who specifically made two-guitars and basses.

It was made in 2016 to the buyers specifications, and is tuned in E and A. And it would be impossible to find this bass guitar anywhere in any store. It's truly one of a kind.

Thankyou for your interest.

He declined my offer....

And I reckon he is lying

[Hobbayne]

I wonder how much the ebay fees would be for a nine grand buy it now?

I went to him with the krappyguitars link and told him it cost $95 to build it, he then offered to sell it for 80 quid and has since pulled the auction. Given the picture he was using came straight from krappyguitars website he knew full well he was trying to rip someone off (not that he had any chance of selling it for 9 grand).

[GisserD]

What a tool.

His day will come
