Up for auction is a Vintage Samick all wood bass guitar, it is a 5 string bass, it was second hand when I bought it. It is in used condition but works and sounds fresh and bright, with full B# bass notes (I think that is what the top string is!) the strings are fine with no damage or stretch. the guitar stays in tune with the machine heads working smoothly and accurately. I have used a new 9v Duracell battery to make sure the Active Electric Pickups are working as expected, the Gold Plating on the control knobs are showing signs of wear, but again these all turn smoothly with no noises.

I was looking through ebay this morning and came across this description. I'm this sort of thing gets posted all the time with non-musos trying to sell instruments. Made me laugh though!
