For When A 6-String Bass Just Won't Cut It...

I'd buy that thing just to find somebody that does instrument setups for a fixed rate.

Me: 'So a setup includes truss rod adjustment, string height and intonation?
Him: 'Yes'
Me: 'And it's 50 bucks for a bass?'
Him: 'Yes'
Me: 'Any Bass?'
Him: 'Yes'
Me: *smacks that thing on the counter* 'One setup please'
"Does that include strings...?"
 
I cannot watch Jared Dines smashing up an instrument for no good reason, too painful. Even worse, primarily done as a stunt for Youtube and because it makes him look 'rock'n'roll'. What an immature image-obsessed idiot.
However low quality the 17 string may have been, however unpleasant his experience, someone somewhere could have made some kind of use of that. Smashing up instruments is a very nasty thing to do unless the instrument is completely ruined already.
