Less than £5100! An absolute steal…🤣

I wish I hadn’t looked, how could you 😥

There should be a warning on this post *not safe for Fender fans*

It puts the oj in mojo!

Well... that takes a bit of weight off it!  

[machinehead]

Oh dear...  Didn't Lee Sklar do something similar with a Jazz bass?  Or did I just make that up?

Frank.

[Crusoe]

why? Just why?

[Reggaebass]

That’s what happens when you mix a bottle of moonshine and a jigsaw 😁

[40hz]

Laughable.

Uh-huh.

[Waddo Soqable]

Just..Why ?

Apart from the mad price I suppose you could take the neck & all the parts off... throw the body on the fire....then get a decent Jazz body and you'd have a nice enough bitsa..

Or you could just buy a good bass and spend the rest on the mother of all two-week benders in Vegas? 😀

I like that idea better....

[Mokl]

It has lollipop tuners tho

[uk_lefty]

"30% off" 

[Grahambythesea]

Ughh

[martthebass]

How the hell can Reverb call that 'good condition'? I'd call it 'buggered beyond belief in such a way that it makes your eyes bleed' condition.

I like the lollipop tuners

[Pea Turgh]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I read the comments first, then went for a look. I actually don’t think it’s that bad!!  No way worth that much though - £1k maybe, but I’m clueless on the value of the original bits left on it.

as in "remember that chump that turned up with a butchered vintage Fender he paid over five grand for"

I'd imagine its actually worth somewhere in the ballpark of half the asking price if all the hardware is original. Then you'd need to spend several hundred to get a sympathetically reliced body to replace the abomination it currently has.

That body could then be given a decent burial and never be mentioned again.

I'm impressed by this bass's ability to get so many pearls firmly clutched 😇
