rushbo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Potential thought process behind modification: "I'm a little drunk. It's the middle of the day. I've got all this sandpaper and a bass I no longer play. The next door neighbour needs four knobs for his bakelite radio. I know what I'll do..." https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Collection-Sgc-Pick-Up-Bass-Guitar-Nanyo-Made-In-Japan/132778689044?hash=item1eea3a0214:g:6VkAAOSwXUdbmSxE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Gah... My SB301's needed a new neck for a long time. Last week I gave up, posted it here. Sold the body on Sunday. Bah, humbug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 "It was a bass guitar a band called NEO TOKYO used, they were friends with BRING ME THE HORIZON." Is this the weakest-ever use of a celebrity connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 To be fair to the guy, he's not trying to hide anything. He's put more photos up than you would get on a fully functional and intact bass!😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 He certainly has put enough photos up, which makes a change. Wouldn't get me to part with my sheckles though. What a mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Guess what......I won...outrageous price...have a look. Plan is to have a new body made - considering SC...definitely a convex body...a la Spector or Warwick. Obviously I'll be asking a BC luthier to do the work. Details to follow.

What’s really annoying about this bass is that the unsanded parts and hardware suggests it was in perfectly good nick when it was modified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
