Batter operated...
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
This is a Squire P-Bass from the early 2000's. From my understanding they do not make P-Bass's anymore. I stripped the bass down and refinished the top natural wood while leaving the sides and back black. It looks pretty cool IMO. It could use a new pick guard and needs new knobs.

I replaced the pick-ups with active EMG pickups. These things are awesome and cost over $200 themselves! You'll notice the battery taped to the back. Active pickups are battery operated, and the batter won't fit inside the bass.

I actually like this one
^^^"Hide me! Hide me!"
I noticed in the ad there is a different guitar player in every picture.
I wouldn't call this a dumb post, because for all I know the player is on here, but I find it a bit outrageous and I question the economics of it, but thought it might be thought-provoking on here:

FAQ:
Q: What does "Recording Project" mean?
A: It means when musicians collaborate together to make songs without a band situation. However most project groups have a name.
Q: What do I need to give you in order to have you record bass on my song?
A: Email me a Mp3 Format along with chord chart(s) or even tabs.
Q:Why Mp3's? The sound quality is so bad compared to .Wav or .AIF.
A: Emailing them is easier, due to the smaller file size.I do believe you can use sites such as DropBox And Rapid Share to send huge files.
Q: Can I tell you want I want you to do or What bass line to play?
A: That's the down side. I play my bass line how I see fit, If you don't like it. Don't use it. Also it's free.
Q:How Long you been playing?
A:12 years
Q:Why do you have a FAQ?
A: To avoid stupid questions.
Q:What recording equipment do you use?
A
on't worry about it, If you like the samples of the bass quality then that's good enough.
Q:What kind of music would you want to play?
A:Any kind except for super technical music that requires more thinking and planning rather than just playing. i.e. MathCore DeathCore.
Q:Hey I like your bass line, can I send you money for beer?
A:Sure why not! That can be arranged.
Q:Congratulations! We are going to use your bass lines for our album! What's the procedure?
Aon't worry about any Co-Writing or Co-Producer credits. Just a simple "Bass by _______" kind of thing.
Q:I like your bass lines but I don't want you name on our album or give you any credit.
A:**** you, Pay me.
Q:Can you tab out your bass line for our bass player to play live?
A:If I have time, And if its not ridiculously complicated of a bass-line.
Q:Why are you such a dick?
A: I'm really not that bad. Just to the point to avoid wasting anyone's time.

I know most "anniversary" Fenders are nothing more than a badge or neckplate, but I don't think this has even that.

This would just be for fun.

For sale is my bass and half stack. The amp is a Behringer Ultrabass 450H head, with a Legionsound cab that has 4 10's and a tweeter. The head puts out 450 watts, the cab can handle up to 1200 watts. The bass is a Yamaha with active pickups. I got everything here while I was in high school, joined a band, the band broke up after a couple practices, and this stuff has been in my closet since college. Everything together for $700, I will sell separately though; the half stack for $400, the bass for $250. If you want specific pictures, e-mail me and I can text or e-mail them.

Yeah, those P Basses are rare nowadays, someone better jump on this before it's gone; may be your last chance.
You guys got me inspired, so I set out to find some bassist ads near me.
Entry 1:
I both like and hate this one for it's simplicity. What kind of music are they playing? Mad punk chops do not always equal mad jazz chops. And no pay? No thanks...I'll take my mad chops and vocal skills elsewhere.
Entry 2:
The first part in bold is what strikes me the most; "hey, we just love makin' music man...just kidding, f*** that." The "no egos no drama," is so blunt it's effective.
Granted they aren't the worst CL ads I've ever seen (not by far), but they're the worst the DMV has out currently.
