fleabag Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Just perusing Nastybay with maybe an idea of veneering a bass body ( not sure yet ) but came across this. Do people not proof read their ads ? The odd spelling or grammar mistake is no big deal, hell i've done it, but this is just plain lazy. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Quality-White-Macassar-Ebony-Wood-Veneer-Sheet-Flexible-Veneer-Sheet/282747540372?var=582019119580&hash=item41d5111394:m:muUwgWn0ZDWEGa-ofP7oCRw "Natural material is rotary cuted to veneer sheets, which after the removal of defects and imperfections are subjected to gluing to special blocks. In this form wood is ressed what gives the right pattern on veneer. Than the block is cutted on single sheets – veneers. The resulting material is a ferlection of veneers obtainerd using traditional method" Edited April 25, 2018 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Looks like a reasonable effort by someone for whom English is not their first language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Looks like a UK franchise for veneers sourced probably from the developing world, and the UK agent has simply done a basic cut & paste job from a source where English is not the first language. Or possibly done by someone who is severely dyslexic...? Either way, it does look like a lack of proper care & attention. Seller seems to have done a lot of trading in this stuff so looks genuine from that viewpoint (which was my first query when I read it from the OP). Still, as long as the product is what you're expecting then no harm done presumably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpondonBassed Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Language and how it is used in practical applications is a veneer in itself. I didn't know you were in the sentence abuse division at Hendon. Edited April 26, 2018 by SpondonBassed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
