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

If that really is his father. I mean I understand people have to be related to someone; like Geddy Lee is my cousin and Steve Harris is my step-brother.
I'll be attending the family reunion, next year.
The seller also has a BC Rich Mockingbird listed, but for some reason, the Mockingbird doesn't come with a photo of his very famous father.
This one is kinda similar to the Randy Jackson Signature model they made.
Now if it only came with an autographed samurai sword...

I can't believe that for so little money I could own a bass that wasn't played on these obnoxious synth bass records.
Okay, but we do our family reunions a little differently. You have to pay your own way to "Old Blighty" and take care of your own accommodations.
Also, you'll need to pay for a first class ticket for myself and Cousin Geddy, a luxury box at Wembley Stadium on the night of the con ... err ... reunion, and food and 3star hotel rooms for myself and Cousin Geddy.
Steve won't be able to stay at the reunion long and when, he shows up, he'll probably be all sweaty and smell, a little bit, but he is a good guy. So, you'll deal with it.
The no strings is a deal breaker for me! HA! HA! I've got a Peavey Foundation (with strings & case) for less than a $1000 (WAY LESS!).....
That was his dad's Sex Panther Bass - $2000 is a bargain

Les Claypool actually sat on my mom's living room couch back in the late 80's (actual truth). She still has the couch. I wonder what it's worth??
Most likely..but it'd be very hard to provide provenance. That couch is full of "pootz"

Now, you're just being a pessimist!
Seriously, though: if you had a photo, what we're joking about could kind of be somewhat true (value added).
I'm all for drugs, but at a certain point there are diminishing returns.
No photos....That was back before everyone had a camera in their pocket. You'd have to find Les for "pootz" verification.
It makes me happy that this guy isn't totally gone yet.
I think negotiations are one of the many, many, many skills the current owner of that thing doesn't possess.
