Favorite bass misspellings

[dr doofie]

Like many of you, I regularly browse local classifieds for bass junk. Lately I have been noticing some wonderful mistakes in the way people are spelling company names I'm sure auto correct is to blame for some but but they all make me chuckle:

Ampeq
Carlos Robelli
Lying by Washburn
Llamaha instead of Yamaha (I assume the seller is Spanish speaking)
Yamaham (my personal favorite)
Carving instead of carvin
And of course, base instead of bass

What are some of gems you have seen?

“Llamaha??!!” OMG no! I’m rollin’!

1) My son told us during dinner that his class was looking at the paintings of Pablo PiCostco.
2) A sign at a yard sale said “$7 dollars for one, $10 for bofum.

Not bass related, but there used to be a Chinese restaurant here. At the bottom of their menu of the usual Chinese restaurant fare, it said, "Positively no substations"

I bought a small MIC milling machine, the instructions told me “it is forbidden to place the machine in the sunshine place.” We laughed at that for years.

I also see a ton of car ads stating something about the front or rear bumber instead of bumper.

I ran across an ad for a used Jeep that included a "mounted wench".

Another one I see is branew instead of brand new.

Saw an ad that reminded me of this thread
'Squirel bass guitar'



It was a squier...

I just saw an ad for a ‘Gipson’ guitar; I don’t know if that’s a tip off that it’s a Chinese forgery(aka ‘Chibson’), and that you’ll feel gipped when you figure it out.

I saw an ad for a "Short Skill" bass guitar.

Not to spotlight drummers (which I'm also...), but that's where I see more misspellings:
Symbols
Base (again)
Peddle
Ziljin, Paste
Thrown
Snair
Drums listed with their brand "Remo" or "Evans" because that's what the head says
I even saw one once advertised as "KTama". See picture....

Reminds me of a few years ago on a popular buy / sell website here in NZ, someone advertised a 'Rogers' drum kit for sale... they obviously didn't know much about drums because they said on the advert that the drums used to belong to someone called 'Roger'

My new Squire Vantige Mollified won't fit in the trunk of my Camero!

I know you were trying to fiddit a while ago, but didja ever try it syways?

 

[chadface]

It's been a while but I saw a new one today: "Obaner"

On the plus side, someone else got an iceman for $50!

 

[Flamingo21]

I'm sorry, "iceman"?

I see 'Peavey' spelled 'Peavy' twice a week it seems.
