I thought you guys might want a good laugh.

Golly, gee. That's a great price for a vintage Giblemic. (Or an Alembson, too.) I'd buy it, but I've been saving up to get me an AKC-registered jackelope...

yes, it is pretty nice, but once it's modified (even if it sounds better) it loses alot of its collectibility value. Selling it as a "one of kind" and thinking that it increases it "value" is silly. heck, i've seen alot of "one of a kinds" (i.e. basses refinished with a paint brush or spray can).

Is it me or is it missing a tuning peg?

You know, the price is ridiculous, but, I bet that bass sounds pretty good.

I wonder WHO Valued it at 4000.00? The seller?

Oh its one of those places that sell stuff on ebay for you.
Wow "We will loosen the strings for shipping so you are going to want to tune it upon arrival." great a bass with a weak headstock design is surely going to end up in one piece during shipping...

It would have been a nice bass if the previous owner wasnt a dillweed and didnt modify it, this actually makes me miss my Gibson Grabber.

If anybody needed proof that the sharks are swimming at EBay...

Bet he got it at an estate sale for $75 (I'm reminded of some poster saying "my biggest fear is that my widow will sell my collection for what I told her I paid for it").

EBay is the lottery of the 21st Century. Why take a chance and gamble your money away when you can list a POS and gain instant wealth?

Anyway, if you're as ignorant as the seller....
