bigsmokebass Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 hahaha yeah!! i love it!! i did spot this guy when i started to ebay, i just love the way he hides the headstock and makes cheap basses worth £1,000[sub]s[/sub] i wonder if he actually sells these at all? Quote
Moos3h Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Bear in mind that some of the reason stuff looks so expensive is because the pound is crap against the Euro! Quote
The Bass Doc Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Try approaching him with offers (but don't mention the War). Quote

steve-soar Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Errrr, it looks like a Fender Japan bass to me, I have one very similar and a lefty. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I must have missed all discussions on Basschat regarding this guy (!?!) but I've been a fan of his listings for years.... purely as a spectator sport of course Quote

SimBass Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 My favourite bit is: "Spec: sound: sounds GR 8 !" Is that the manufacturers spec? Also..anyone speak German and know what all the text says in the white space which you can only see if you highlight it? Quote
guybrush threepwood Posted December 16, 2009 Posted December 16, 2009 It's just legal lease, but it's not right to white it out... (By the way, I don't speak German, but google does) Quote
