He has a Spinal Tap measurement in there. I'd hate to see a 30' scale neck. You'd need 6 people to play it.

I don't get it, it's exactly what he's describing it as. I would buy it if I was in the area, they're $600 new.

I don't get it either. I suppose he should have said "baritone" guitar, but bass/guitar is about as good a description as any. Fender calls theirs a "Bass VI".

I know it's tempting to automatically assume that any guitarist is, er, "developmentally disabled", but that is clearly not the case here.

And yes, it's a good price! :-)

Yeah... What was funny? It's exactly what he said it was.

It's properly called a six-string short-scale bass guitar. You could tune it like a baritone (B to b or A to a), but it's designed to be tuned E to e, one octave below a guitar.

Edit: I don't mean to jump down anyone's throat, but it seemed like a good time to clarify about an instrument type I love.

30" not 30'. Might be fun to jam on though.

I don't get it. A small typo, but everybody makes mistakes. Other than that he's describing the best he can.

I saw this while browsing Craigslist on Monday. I don't remember it being funny.
