discreet Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's a bargain - the 4-string version is £18,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downdown Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I wonder how much he bought it for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 And Stig Petersen from DAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Stig Petersen only needs one string, it's even better as it will only cost 4,5 K. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It looks like a pretty obvious piss-take to me. I particularly like the B&Q steel reinforcement being used as a tailpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 At least two zeros too many in that asking price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoJo Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thankfully, it's extremely rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Never ask never get... but also asking 9k too much probably never gets either. Free postage though, that makes it a steal Edited March 12, 2017 by lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 i offered 9 i still kinda hope he rejects it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatcoupe432 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) 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 eBay New message from: duckfan222 (35Yellow Star) 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. Reply YOU: Hi there , what s so special about this instrument? What is the year of birth? Make? what is the tuning? Is hard to find another one the same? regards Edited March 17, 2017 by fiatcoupe432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GisserD Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 He declined my offer.... And I reckon he is lying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I wonder how much the ebay fees would be for a nine grand buy it now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbass Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 [quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1489868394' post='3260485'] He declined my offer.... And I reckon he is lying [/quote] 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).
