Thumbs down SX on eBay

Sign in to disble this ad
SX P with a maple neck and it claims to be Geddy Lee Signature- http://cgi.ebay.com/SX-BASS-GUITAR-S...d=p3286.c0.m14

First off, the price is way more than it would be to buy one new. And second, Geddy has never played a P on anything.



(and they can't spell either! 'signiture')

In his defense, the title says 'Geddy Lee signiture(sp)style'
A small point, but anyone who buys that thinking it's a genuine GL IMO should not be on the net unsupervised.
BTW, why is this in OT?

This was talked about twice now in "Basses".

Summary of what you missed:

He's a bad man, especially for copying Kurt's code.
People should do their research in order to make a smart purchase.

Actually, Geddy Lee did play a P bass way back in the day.

It was the 'teardrop' bass he was seen with from time to time in the mid 70s.

You must remember that this was another time, another place; *pictures* were made of thin sheets of stone, etched in relief by tiny, meth-fueled birds. Why, 6 instruments(not all which are basses )was considered a *collection* for crying out loud!

I have a $119 SX Scorpion Jazz. Have to admit it's well worth the money.

Wow! I googled SX Scorpion bass and 'my' SX was the first hit under images.

First off, it's his bass so the seller can sell it for whatever amount he wants. Unless you plan on bidding on it then it's really none of your business what he's asking for it. Nor is it mine or anyone elses unless we're going to bid.

i was just pointing out that it would be insane to buy it used for about 30-40 dollars more than it would cost new.
