$245 Strap!?

[CapnSev]

So, my favorite bass of all time is the pre-EB Stingray, or Sabre, so every now and then I browse through eBay to see what I can find.

I came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-70s-Music-Man-Stingray-Bass-Strap-Case-Candy_W0QQitemZ230338693899QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item230338693899&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50#ht_500wt_1117

Seriously? If this guy sells this thing, he deserves that $245 and then some.

The vintage fad is getting out of control...

That's worse then the broken Ampeg cube amp (little battery portable thing) that actually went for $200.

Stuff like this is why it's almost impossible to find anything cool that's music related any more.

I won't be shocked if that strap sells although I doubt it.

I have at times in my life, been shockingly stupid with my money but...

Old and ugly does not make vintage ...

I've paid some really good moolah for a strap before, but it was a really nice strap - Moody. This, on the other hand...

I bought 5 of those a couple years ago for $20... one of them is that same color/pattern

I usually have more GAS than

a) the British Oxygen Company Ltd
b) the trans-Siberia pipeline, or
c) the top right corner of the Periodic Table of the Elements

but even I wouldn't want to buy that strap.

 

[wnelson]

wheres the squire jazz bass that comes with it??.....i guess he forgot to mention it.ha!

 

[Mike151]

It's not only with music stuff.

Does anyone else see a market for "Road Worn" straps?

I bet it sits in the mix really nicely...

I bet it sits in the mix really nicely...

the strap or the toilet seat?

So, the two straps I have at home from the 60's might be worth a few hundred bucks...
Old is the new, new!

[Vanceman]

But is has free shipping!

 

[JEBassman]

If I buy the strap will it make my bass sound better?

LOL and GMAB (Give Me A Break).

I'm old and ugly; does that make me vintage? If somebody wants to peddle me out we'll go 50/50. whaddya say?

 

[Korladis]

Wow. I am shocked and appalled.
