No I Will NOT Buy Your Bass...

[LikeButtah]

No, I will NOT buy your bass because...

[ ] Seventeen people in this forum have already owned this bass
[ ] I don't care much for hot pink, even if it's a neck-thru
[ ] Having dropped its price by $4,000, I feel prematurely violated
[ ] It's nothing to do with being too good to play Squier, your bass just blows
[ ] It's a nice bass, but I don't care much for the penis engraved on the side
[ ] I was diggin' it till you mentioned it's in the Philippines
[ ] Is that the price in PESOs?

Additionally...

[ ] The term 'Jaco tone' is a good indication that your bass has no such thing
[ ] Funny, it doesn't *look* like you set it up better than an MTD
[ ] There's a reason only 3 basses were built using that wood combination
[ ] What do you mean exactly by, "made some custom improvements to it" ?

And furthermore...
[ ] I only found it because you listed it as "Not a Fodera", so please go die
[ ] If it doesn't come with the hot chick, I ain't buying
[ ] The sight of you in your underwear blinded me before I got a good look at the bass
[ ] If you're listing it as mint, at least take the Metallica stickers off

I initially posted that it was likely a Miscellaneous [BG] caliber thread, but deleted the comment. Figured it would be taken wrongly.

Glad others agree.

No sense of humor whatsoever...

I love the "Please go die" part!

And I laughed at that post, so, sense of humor is still a thing I can appreciate. This thread wont last long though.

It's not that some don't find it funny, I just don't really have any experience with any of the things that you describe.

apparently you never tried to sell a bass on here.

You crack me up, man!

The funny thing is that the people he's describing are the guys who PM ya with an "offer" that's not quite half of fair market value/reasonable.

Here’s what I fondly refer to as the Craigslist dictionary. These are terms you normally see to describe gear, and their actual meanings.

• Played once then stored: I hated this thing so much I put it away as soon as possible.
• Minty: Broken.
• Mint: Broken.
• 9.9/10: eh…decent.
• 9.8/10: It’s seen better days.
• 9.7/10: It was dragged behind a car for 500 miles.
• Vintage: Old and crappy.
• New tubes: I cleaned them with Windex.
• Need this gone: I stole it.
• Just intonated: I saw this word online and wanted to use it.
• Professionally setup: I just tuned it
• Looks great under stage lights: Needs the lights turned off to appreciate the looks
• Has some fretwear: The frets look like two W’s side by side
• Needs work: Good luck!
• I got this in a trade: I was drunk and blacked out, woke up with this.
• New drumheads: I painted them white so you can’t tell.
• One of a kind: The builder learned from their mistake.
• Rare: Most of these broke right out of the box.
• PRICE FIRM: I’ll relist in 3 days with a lower price, be patient.
• Cool gear, not my style: I was smoking a lot of pot…did some soul searching…wore one change of clothes for weeks…bought stuff I didn’t want. Sobered up, clearing out gear.
• Conversation piece: Unplayable
• This amp screams!: I wish the treble knob wasn’t broken off at 10.
• Plays like butter: I put butter on the strings.
• My band just broke up: Please see my other listings for leather pants and chain necklaces.
• Great for metal: Cover up the tone with as much distortion as you can.

I'm going to move this to Bass Humor. If Thor doesn't like a thread, he won't just close it- he'll punish you by sending you 10 tons of bad squid.
