That didn't last long. Not surprising really.

Anyone here bag it?

I think this Yamaha on Ishibashi is absolutely gorgeous...



The only reason I haven't bought it is because I've decided there's no point in buying basses I won't use at the moment which rules out anything that doesn't have 5 strings.

More details [url="http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/ubox.cgi?T=syosai&sline=822&print=1&keys2=machida%40ishibashi%2Eco%2Ejp&tid=list3"]here[/url] for anyone who'd like to buy...

[quote name='cycrowave' post='1238105' date='May 20 2011, 01:16 PM']hmm its a cliche but i guess its worth what someone wants to pay, and the leftys are very rare[/quote]
Fair enough. I just couldn't see myself paying that much (I wouldn't pay the ridiculous amounts for old fenders as well, though).

Why - so you can pay higher Ebay fees without actually selling the item??? :)

What I don't understand is that it doesn't even have the XLR out!

i guess if the seller was really sneaky, he could see what the buyers maximum bid was by bidding himself, then say it fell through and do a second chance offer.

DISCLAIMER - this is purely speculation and doesent express the actual views of cycrowave or basschat

I've been away for a bit, but some basses just keep on coming back onto ebay again and again. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIBSON-SG-SHAPED-EB-0-COPY-BASS-GUITAR-/130518345012?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e637fe534"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GIBSON-SG-SHAPED-EB-...=item1e637fe534[/url]

Haven't seen one of these before though. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vox-Through-neck-fretless-bass-project-MIJ-/330566639780?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4cf74ea0a4"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vox-Through-neck-fre...=item4cf74ea0a4[/url]

Edit: Unusual. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-MIJ-Japan-Aria-Violin-Base-60s-Guitar-Japanese-/110688115568?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item19c5869b70"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rare-MIJ-Japan-Aria-...=item19c5869b70[/url]

bought this body andneck for a tenner the other day. It's had a really amateur defret but plays well enough. [attachment=80507:19052011066.jpg]
Needs new electronics and machine heads too. Anyone have any clue where i might find replacements?

Pop on over to the Westone forums and ask around there - still a good buy!

Very strange looking bass labelled "bruno" conqueror. I think this has to be Japanese, doesn't it?

[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/60s-Bruno-semi-acoustic-bass-Mucho-Mojo-/330566644049?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4cf74eb151"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/60s-Bruno-semi-acous...=item4cf74eb151[/url]

Has a strange appeal. Probably means a trip to Specsavers is in the offing :-)

There's been some discussion of these before, way up there ^.

If you scroll down a bit Jon fills in what he knows about them. :)

This is how the through neck Vox bass would have looked before the mindless tard chopped it into arse shaped firewood.

Shame they even ruined the neck, would have made a nice project.

I was watching this one sell, but I can do nothing with the body only of a set-neck bass. Cheap though, for anyone who has an Ibby Artist with a broken body. If any such exist. I suppose if the electronics work and the bridge is in one piece, it was worth it for the parts.
