Well, tell me you at least rose to the occasion and proved your metalitude...

You can't let a bass that "evil" just slip away.

Ever owned an 80s one? They'll give most basses a right kick in the undercarriage. Their guitars weren't bad either.

Re the ad. A ZZB Custom in factory-stock Bloody Red for $80? I paid more than seven times that for mine - & yes, it was worth every penny. 32" scale, skinny jazz neck & a tone that gets into Ric territory very quickly.

$80? $80! Blessed is the fool that researcheth not, for he will deliver unto thee an Bargain.

That's a great deal. It's like buying a hardshell case and getting the bass for free.

A Brutal Bass - $80 (Cape Elizabeth)

Reply to: sale-v4ttr-2121946409@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

You think you're metal enough to handle this bass? I don't know, man, you don't look the part. But I'll tell you what, you can take a look at this thing and tell me if you think you can rise to the occasion. You understand where I'm coming from when I question your metalitude, right? I mean, look at this thing! It's covered in BLOOD. Blood! And skull knobs.

It's an Aria Pro II ZZB Custom, whatever that is. It sounds like it's lifeblood has been drained, and that's probably where all that blood came from. I don't know, I wasn't the original owner, but I rose to the challenge when it's dark powers were entrusted to me. I hope for your sake you can too.



It probably needs to have it's pickups replaced, though they still work, but the rest of its hardware is passable. This sale includes a case and stand, but nothing to protect you from it's evil ways. Be warned.

Cash only, please.

Pickups probably got shorted out by all that blood...
