sixshooter Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ha Ha! that made me laff. Wonder if he would take £2k for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bythesea Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well it does have 4 "Elite" strings with it - that must up the price considerably. Try dismantling those and selling them by the inch - extra for the ball ends obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 How do you build a single-pickup passive generic bass for £1700? Either he's telling a little fib or someone's ripped him off. Either way, what an idiot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass Doc Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 But the the tape adds character - I've got two rolls of character in a draw if anyone wants some - and in a choice of widths! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 You can read Made In Japan on the heel on his Ebay pics. Can't quite get my head around this - does he seriously believe these basses are worth what he's asking or is it just the hope/assumption that someone, somewhere will be stupid enough to pay those prices?

noelk27 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well, they do say the whole is greater than the sum of the parts - although in this case the bill for the sum of the parts appears to be much greater than the value of the whole.
