Sign in to disble this ad
So, my favorite bass of all time is the pre-EB Stingray, or Sabre, so every now and then I browse through eBay to see what I can find.
I came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-70s-Musi...#ht_500wt_1117
Seriously? If this guy sells this thing, he deserves that $245 and then some.

| | | | That's worse then the broken Ampeg cube amp (little battery portable thing) that actually went for $200.
Stuff like this is why it's almost impossible to find anything cool that's music related any more.
I won't be shocked if that strap sells although I doubt it. |

but even I wouldn't want to buy that strap.

Old is the new, new!
