I mean, $2,000 and it doesn't even have strings?

Trying to figure out what a "Techmaster PEB" is, I did a search, and realized... oh my.

I have the "Bass Computer" CD. Purchased a few months ago in a batch at a tag sale. I guess I'll have to listen to it now.

Very Rare and collectable, I'll even get a dad to sign it. Sooo... if any of you folks want to REALLY complete your celebrity package: $75 firm, +$300 shipping, batteries not included.:D
 
If it was cleaned up & in good condition it might actually bring over $500. This one doesn’t seem to be clean or in good shape. The Dyna bass came in neck through and screw-attached neck. I think the neck through was called the Unity Series. There might have also been a model with Super Ferrite pickups. They were pretty good basses, but not $2k good or $1.5k good.
This one might be up for sale for a while….

BE VERY CAREFUL!!! It WILL destroy your speakers if you don’t use common sense with volume. You’ve been warned.
 
I personally take off used strings anyways, just cuz… no strings usually means nobody has played or checked it out in who knows how long? This POS has bad written all over it and probably inside too. But according to seller you’ll probably never see one again!
 
I think I caught a disease just by looking at this dirty-a$$ bass. The one prop I'll give the seller is that, in not having strings installed on it, they didn't get a chance to get as rusty as the pickup pole pieces. Florida Man gonna Florida Man...:woot::bassist:

Lol it's now 850$ and free shipping within a day, his info part still isn't updated and still claims it is 2000$ at time I'm writing this.

Maybe it's all marketing in a way... because now I just research his father's work and seeing his dad is still signing and making music... huh...

After reading through this, I'm convinced the owner must have been some guy suffering from chronic constipation on a search for the brown note after exhausting all other conventional forms of relief. Maybe it's a medical test instrument. Could be why it's worth so much.
 
I don’t care about the bass. I’m down a deep Techmaster PEB rabbit hole.

I listened to it earlier out of curiosity. First, it was hilarious. Second, I had earbuds in and didn’t turn it up loud and it was at such sub levels I couldn’t really hear it anyway. But my damn eardrums could feel it. Freakiest sensation. Had to turn it off. Lucky I didn’t crap my pants I guess.
