it's like he didn't even notice the clumsy GC employee who was right beside him...



it sounds like some story just to make it sound like there is a "cool" reason for the bass being dropped

Wow... I'm almost compelled to buy it, just because i want a musicman and that one is at a really good price. And i would love to see it levitate even though I know thats a bullcrap story. lol.

Wouldn't it be something if it started levitating in the middle of a gig????
Yeah, it's hard o understand the reason for telling this story... it certainly doesn't make me feel really confident about the seller...

Hokay......
For one thing, it's not haunted; the store is. Usually if it's a "kid", there's a Poltergeist involved that plays pranks. It's not the bass, but the ghost of the store that picked it up, then let it go. (Then ran off "cackling"...)

And the other thing, is WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP, just to explain away some dings in a bass! This guy's had this thing in the shop so long, he's desparate to unload it. Couldn't stop singing the praises of how well it sounded and played. Might as well have left it at that, but no!

Oh. It actually was sort of an entertaining story, though...
Thanks for the link. Worth a laugh.
