mr4stringz Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) To expand past ‘the phrases’, it always makes me smile when the weather picks up and, instead of on manky bedspreads, basses are photographed in the garden instead. “Only selling to fund a new mower.” Edited April 15, 2023 by mr4stringz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earbrass Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Not so much for basses, but "xyz is wrong with it, but it's an easy fix" - if it's so easy, get it fixed first, then put it up for sale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkie635 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 'This is a super-rare much sought-after model' - so bad, only a few were made and fewer ever sold. Also, the biggest con of all - 'vintage', whatever that might mean. 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackroadkill Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 "These are getting rare now", as if girt chunks of wood covered in three mm of poly somehow just fade out of existence. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_dinger Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 For sale. Guitar, wooden. Usually in local Facebook groups, where the seller is genuinely clueless that the photo already told me that it was a guitar, and that 400 years of tradition and experience resulted in luthiers settling on wood (rather than stone, slate, metal, or animal bones). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Then there's the one entitled "base guitar".... with a photo of a cheap Strat copy, or in extreme cases a tatty 6 string acoustic / classical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 "Classic era" when which always happens to be whatever year their thing was made. The magnificent "lawsuit era" which rarely corresponds to an actual lawsuit. If the ad doesn't have all of "original", "vintage" and "rare" then count me out. I do like when the factory is called out, too, so I can stroke my chin and think "Oooh, that sounds like quality to me" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Lawsuit era from the legendary Matsamoki (sic) factory'. Etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
