$400 paint job on a $400 bass = $900 bass!

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

This is a one of a kind Sterling by Musicman Ray34. This bass started as a standard ray 34 but then received 400 dollars worth of paint by Marty Bell at Home my bass is featured near the end of this page [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. This bass is in like new condition with no scratches or signs of wear. It plays like a dream and it's really killing me that I have to part ways with it, but I just have no room for it and it's the bass I use the least because I don't want to hurt the finish. Im asking 900 OBO

I knew I saw this before...It a fellow TB'r

There's so many postings here about Christians wanting to form yet another band glorifying their false god that I think its time for us Satanists to form a band in honor of The Dark One. Too much time is spent tossing about hosanas like they were tic tacs, lets play some music for the blood of The Horned One. I play turntables and my friend, Dark Pastor B'ornrath, plays funk bass. I would like to find like minded musicians to battle the Christian Horde as the final days play out as the Mayan Prophets foretold in this, the year of Our Devil 2012. Let us rise up and proclaim our love for the Three-In-One, Jah-Bu-Lon, in the form of rockin' beats and tasty melodies. Lets take back rock music and put it in the hands of the One who created it!!

Sense when is a turntable a instrument and somebody playing it a musician?

i'd consider people like Mix Master Mike and Dj Spooky and Dj Shadow musicians with their decks.

Not CL, but even better.

Now, this ad is in Polish, but it's too long-winded for me to want to translate. It's too good to not translate, though. So... here it is via Google translate with a few words fixed by me. It's even funnier that way, and the frustration still comes through clear as day.

Jumping into a band is not a ball and chain, only the foundation for further development and better concert proposals. We let the rich creativity of illustrating the fact that the last month we made five finished compositions. They are very different, from the current style. Now we want to play a 3 minute song, oftne with an understandable, melodious, repeated chorus. This can not be at all compared to the grotesque material recorded two years ago, so you need to meet in our hall of and allow yourself to hit the skins with us present. at the given site address (in the above. axis - mundi. com), you can look at the professional setting and existing commitment, amount of work. This can eliminate the curious mothaf*****. Nobody likes to wet the whistle like me, but for me it comes with an iron collaborative action. We played for a month with four drummers, but none is appropraite for us. It is a huge unknown for me, why listen to musicians the Beatles, Stones, QOTSA, Hendrix, FooF, Metallica, Guns, LedZ, appreciate them and delight in them, and they can not find, understand that what unites them. Hint to all who read, what's the kind of success - to find humility enough in itself to virtuoso performances of leave in bedroom (can be under the duvet with ******** woman), and the scene put a clear, modest rhythms.
think that a note on this? - Never amount to anything - to write this post took me 15 minutes, and every day I practice for hours, so if you read this it for you much, goodbye. But if you are looking for people who are far short of your passion for music and desire to create a repertoire of speaking to the majority of human souls, the drop on the meeting.
let's do something beautiful.
rock n roll, szafran

3 piece Eastern Maple Neck with 24 Fret Rosewood Board and white Dot inlays

That is a nice looking Bass. Not a Fodera.
I searched the CL there to find it.

Did you see that Eden WT 800 for $400? What a deal. I'd put a jack in it and rock it.

Definitely not a Fodera. Begs the question of what it really is though doesn't it.

That WT 800 is quite a deal. I have enough amps at the moment though.

Oh, also some guy is selling a mexi jazz for $200 which seems pretty good.

WATSON GUITARS 6 String, Headless, Fanned Fret (Serial #08B024) - YouTube

Looked at some of the videos by the guy that made that guitar... I found this video...

Some people might look at this and be inspired... I watch this, and I think to myself; A one handed guy is better than I'll ever be... dammit.

Has anyone here ever BEEN the one who's ad was placed in this thread??

 

[Earache]

If you think that you are an experienced bassist with great equipment and knowledge of what takes to become famous,
we will definitely give you a chance to join our band.
We would want to meet a GOOD bass player who likes ROCK music, and who DOESN'T TAP or SLAP, just a SIMPLE
guy who knows his place. We need a disciplined and motivated person, not some egocentric or arrogant dude.

Also, this is our band and rules are ours. I don't care how you feel about improvisation or the way the songs are
written, you will play them the way we want. This is a great way for you to learn more about the music and success,
especially if you played for some garage bands before and you don't have any video or picture.

I don't care if you like jazz or blues, R&B or Rap or reggae, this is a ROCK band and you have to be into ROCK.
Respond just if you really believe that you want to be famous and make money from music. We don't have patience
for those that put the band on the last place in their lives and don't have time to practice but yet they say how music
is all the they do

"knows his place"
