Bassist wanted for forming blues band. Must play 1-3-5-6 pretty much all the time and look ecstatically entertained while the guitarist wanks endlessly over a minor pentatonic scale and the harp player plays endless permutations of the three licks she sorta knows. Must label anything that's not a slow or medium tempo twelve bar as "not real blues" and refuse to play it. No vocals required. Where are you we need you!

Only important question: is the harp player hot?

WOW this is great

i wish i could post the pics but trust me its worth a look! This guy might have some trouble selling this thing here in Baltimore. Although I'm sure someone on here would love it... Great thing is, I didnt even notice the chick in the last pic at the bottom til a few minutes ago. Maybe you could get the girl and that Peavey cab in the background for an extra hundred or two. Did they put the bass next to a van tire for size comparison purposes??!?

I bet the original ad was made by some middle-aged woman, then saw the reply and didn't get it...

Also, the original ad isn't consistent with pricing, which I thought was great too.
