Dumb Craig's List Ads pt.4: Dumber and Dumbest

[My name is Mudd]

He says that the struts are 'operational and comfortable', which is why I'm thinking the bridge...never heard pickups being described as comfortable. Then again, I've never heard of bass struts either.

[EvanF1322]

Could go either way, stupidity really has no boundaries

[My name is Mudd]

I just e-mailed him, via the CL e-mail thingy, and asked what specifically he means by struts...I'll post the response if/when I get it.

Ibanez Electric Bass

Sweet! ...little did I know, all this time I was putting my beater acoustic guitar in a "Great Hard Bass Case"
Silly me.

The seller replied...

"Hi,
Pardon me, I mean't the pick-ups and or bridge.
Obviously I'm not a bass player, it was my daughters bass.

if your interested let me know.

Thanks
Rhonda"

...so it turns out that we were both right...sort of...and now I feel kinda bad about us picking on her ad, since she admits to not really knowing what she's trying to describe.

[Geroi Asfalta]

Wow.

[Stewie26]

Here is a 40 year old guy looking to get in an LA band but does not play any instruments. Unbelievable.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst...627359139.html


Looking for band (West LA)
Early 40's and play no instruments. Can sing back-up, and can learn to play. I have taken lessons for piano, guitar, banjo.

Would like to be in a band to take advantage of mid-life crisis. Open to all music except for rap-hip/hop, but would consider.

Can/ will play whatever instrument needed, but will require some patience.

[My name is Mudd]

Admitting to taking lessons and yet still can't play anything is not promising.

I don't think the ad is even legit as far as selling guitar. I think it's for trying to drive traffic to the stratrock.com site on the pics.

I don't think anyone copied & posted the text from this article yet:

"Tone-Deaf Acapella Group seeks African-American Little Person (Downtown)

Up and coming Tone-Deaf Acapella group seeking African American individual to join our band. Can not be over 4'1" tall, or musically talented in any way. Will split portion of tips and provide umbrellas if inclimate weather. Bi-lingual preferred.

About us: Formed on February 17th 2013, (--insert name--) features four (maybe five) very large men with absolutely no musical inclination. Except Mark. He looks like a Head banger. Our goal is to sing Boys 2Men songs on downtown street corners in no key whatsoever"

My God, this has got to be a joke. A comedy troupe, I'm hoping?

Wait: 5 members who cannot sing. Spice Girls? Haha (But seriously, a 5 member singing group but they still required 3 backup singers whenever they 'performed' on television.)

[Big Brother]

I am looking for a musician to maybe jam with, but if you play baseball that would be cool.

I play bass, guitar, drums, and sing, but I'm already in a band.
But not sure where it is going.

I know I'm playing baseball, and my team needs more players.

Uh, I am thinking that he's using "baseball" as a euphemism for sex...I am surprised he doesn't mention whether he needs a "pitcher" or a "catcher".

Gee, ya think? I think half of the CL ads that get posted here are not "dumb" but "blowing off steam."

So Odd...

Hershey Highway looking for fill in (18th and Spruce)

Hey I need a quick fill in for my lead singer. We were doing a prison tour and to save money we made the mistake of staying at the prison overnight. well, now I gotta get a fill in while my lead singer heals. If things go well, there could be a few more gig coz the sutures don't come out until next month. Anyway we do only Culture club covers.

Just too much coffee, or illegal substances, or mental disorder/autism?

Fender Precision Bass (P-Bass)

A Fender Precision Bass or P-Bass. Made in Mexico. The Mexican made version as opposed to the American made version differ only in the cheaper material used to make the Mexican made version.

The bass plays and sounds perfect. No major cosmetic damage, only little nicks and scratches.

This is a great and classic bass for beginners and experts. This is a true Fender and not a Squire by the way.


The volume and tone plastic knob covers on the body are missing, but I have extras from other guitars that I can slap on there for you if you really would like the knob covers to be there.

Overall this bass has no problems that will affect your playing.

There is a sticker on the body and it has been there for as long as I remember. To my knowledge it is not a cult symobol, or a demonic hex or anything along those lines. If it is anything I would have to say that it is a beetle or ladybug of some sort, I have no idea...If its a horrible sore to your eye it can be removed.

Price is Firm. This bass at GC or Samash will run you around $550 plus I believe (Let me know if I'm wrong)
