Awful 4 string bass. £25 £25

[binky_bass]

Well, this piece of evil needs gone from my house! So, I thought I'd see if anyone wanted to use it to unclog a toilet, set fire to, experiment with (no questions asked) or otherwise use for hideous and evil purposes. 

It's a bass, it has 4 strings, it DOES NOT work as the electrics are shot. The pickups do work, the truss does work (haven't bothered doing any kind of set up so the action is currently high). 

It has 4 functional tuners, a reasonable bridge a body and a neck... If anyone wants to harvest parts, or stick in some cheap tronics then it might be useful.

£25 collected (Basildon, Essex) or £35 posted (please note I don't have a box so it will be posted wrapped up in whatever I can find! It already doesn't work and has plenty of dings so I can't imagine it getting any more damaged in the post. 

25 of your finest English pounds for this 'project'.

Russ.

This is the best ad ever. Like driving past a pub with a sign outside saying "bad food" 

Well done that man!

And he's from Essex.   A proper geezer IMO

If you are serious about selling it, you should perhaps at least promise anonymity to the buyer  GLWTS.

Needed to be brutally honest as it is a bit of a heap! 

IF... someone put a new loom in it, stripped the body and gave it a solid set up it would be perfectly usable! 

I however, am not that person! Maybe if it had 6 strings... But I canny be arsed to do anything with it so I shall leave it with you fine gentlemen. 

(I can set fire to it for you for an extra fiver!)

Name and shame!!!

A man never tells his darkest secrets... with that in mind the buyer shall remain anonymous!

I'm guessing vintage_ben. Either a Newbie mistake or he has healing hands.

@Bassman Sam to be fair, it's £25 for a lot of salvageable parts, perfect for tinkering etc. I don't think £25 is at all an unfair price. Cheap in fact.

Sorry Binky, I was just being daft. No offence meant.

You've deeply wounded me... to the very core sir. I'll expect an unreasonably large bouquet of flowers in the post tomorrow!! 😁

Well, I've got a gig bag for a banjo I can shove it in.

[prowla]

(I was joking too - £25 for a clunker you can piddle about with is a bargain!)

[rumour6]

fabby ad fabby deal... bloody mised it... typical!!

Seriously, £25  to *iss about trying whatever you wanted to do to find out how bass work is just great. Total respect to Binky bass!!

Haha, that'd be a 600 mile round trip for a £25 Bass! A 6 mile round trip would be pushing it!

I'm quite sure I can transform this unloved piece of whatever it is in a lovely trumendously masterpiece.
