He's taken relicing from the merely roadworn to completely FUBARed. Noone can accuse him of hiding anything though, he shows his abominations off in great detail! My favourite is this metal 6 string... reduced from a 7 string. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193385394768 I love this guy, on the favourite sellers list! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell G4M, they'll butcher all their 7 strings down to 6 unevenly spaced ones so they can double the price! Weirdly, I was expecting worse feedback for this guy. No negative feedback and only a few scathing neutrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Ah but has he hand scribed his 'name' on the other side of the headstock using a green Sharpie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to pay extra for his custom shop models to get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I suspect the Mods keep an eye on these threads and maybe only lock them when the invective 'crosses the line'? At the moment, the comments above are at teasing level (IMHO) but usually for the thread to be locked, someone makes a fairly offensive personal statement about our friend, or a slanging match erupts, and that's when the party grinds to a halt. However, rather like musical chairs, our friend is the gift that keeps giving, and a new thread will be started, usually by someone who has not had their corneas previously burned out by the bodgernomics on display. For me his merchandise is like a fart: vaguely distasteful but equally awfully familiar, just like an old friend....  Edited March 21, 2020 by yorks5stringer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No. 8 Wire Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'd like to thank him for providing some light relief in these dark days. My gratitude won't extend to actually buying one of his creations though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 To be fair the USA P Bass with hard case and Badass II looks to be an ok deal providing it's all legit. Neckplate doesn't look to have the F stamp: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Precision-bass-2006-with-hard-case/193387785595?hash=item2d06cf6d7b:g:TiwAAOSwhQhecldO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if he knows or not.  Has the 60th diamond anniversary badge on the back of the headstock but not the matching neckplate. Did they all come with those that year or was it just the specific anniversary models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recent purchase of a MIM for ÂŁ100 was a better buy, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
