Maybe it's just a wind-up?

[lemmywinks]

Makes total sense, why wouldn't a butchered cheapy be worth £500+?

[Ou7shined]

Because it bleeds acid when you cut it.

Definitely not bidding now, new couch arrives soon and the missus would kill me!

[Hot Tub]

That is horrific.

But.... I actually think it's a good idea. I know Warwick have their Alien acoustic bass (which I think is gorgeous), but a proper HR Geiger/Alien bass could be a wonderful creation!


Edit: Of course, it would have to fight with Dood's Predator bass! :brow:

The carving would take a lot of time, but it is still from a cheap low bidder bass kit.

Oh you sceptics! That's a Turner Prize Winning potential pice of art there ...

Interesting juxtaposition with his opening statement:
"PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO READ ALL ABOUT THIS GUITAR SO THERE ISNT ANY DISSAPOINTMENT ON BOTHSIDES THANK YOU"

Neck & bridge pups are in wrong places & neck pup in bridge position is offset & doesn't line up.

No idea!.

honestly no idea what to say..

Perhaps he should take it on dragons den, get funding to purchase a factory then mass produce them so we can all own one at a fraction of the price of the coveted original! That way, whoever clicks *buy it now* in this auction will be sitting on a gold mine as soon as someone famous plays one of these basses.

I think we should all admire his entrepreneurship

[robocorpse]

I quite like it, but not for 500 quid.

[lemmywinks]

Close up it looks like a bad job IMO, plus the headstock looks awful. I'd bag it for a tenner though!

Just think how much more it would be worth if he'd just solder the pickups ...
