King Tut Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I've just messaged the seller to ask if it comes with the original headstock and tuners 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 This is why my heart sinks when people start threads about modding basses!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I never thought that a Rickenbacker could be made any worse, but apparently, it can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPJ Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Jetglo Black it might have been once apon-a-time but right now it looks more like sticky spray can tarmac-black over damaged wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It's the price that gets me. A mutilated bass with pretty much everything anyone might consider to be "original" removed, and they want five grand for it?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 I have this awful feeling that the seller is really being earnest - rather than being a chancer - and thinks his "precious" is precisely that. Rather than a butchered 'vintage' bass that has lost any vestige of what makes a bass vintage and therefore desirable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Nation Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Anyone who lists an item with two identical (rubbish) pictures of the front and one of the case, no detail shots or decent lighting, and asks five grand for a bass (even if it's worth that much), is getting a hard no from me.

Woodinblack Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 It is amazing how bad the pictures are on some even quite expensive items. I am not sure there is an excuse for bad pictures and if I see them I assume they are trying to hide stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
