binky_bass Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 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.

itsmedunc Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If you are serious about selling it, you should perhaps at least promise anonymity to the buyer GLWTS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 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!)

binky_bass Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 @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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
