Another Ebay thread

This is kinda funny. Note especially the professional level of the photographs.

no wonder no one played it all those years, look at the action on that thing.

A pencil sketch with "bass looks like this" would be better than those photos

 

[big evil robot]

The neck on that looks a little… off…
I don't think it's just an action issue.

 

[5string5fingers]

Wow..could you get any more obscure?

 

[craigcapener]

That bass looks like its in pain

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

That do look like a bowed neck on *whatever* it is...

looks like it's set up with chromes. Probably put chromes on the neck,and never adjusted the neck.

 

[lareamond]

I think I just cried a little inside. $17K for a beat to hell bass with what looks like a warped neck. That thing doesn't look like it's been "played twice."

 

[OhThePeacock]

Oh c'mon guys, they have 100% positive feedback

 

[SanDiegoHarry]

The lack of photos also suggests a scam is afoot, to me at least.

 

[cr250_977]

For 17000.00 you think they would at least offer free shipping!!

"This guitar was used just twice and just sitting in a closet all these years."

In a closet with an angry wet chimp, maybe.

Even this crappy photo shows a lot of wear.

 

[Gus Borden]

C'mon now, he did check w/the "expets"...LOL! Wet chimp. That's too funny.

Save the $17k and buy a car.

 

[UnfortunateTony]

Good lord you could shoot an arrow off that thing's neck! Please god someone put it out of it's misery!

 

[LJ Michaaels]

He dudes NUTS!

 

[AdamR]

whats funny is I knew exactly what bass it was before clicking on the link,

 

[Jonyak]

17k and the guy can't throw in 50$ to ship the bass? lol.

 

[tdizzle]

If you think that's bad, check out some of the seller's other items.

One of those half-million dollar websites looks pretty legit to me.
