Lowest Priced New Basses Ever??

[crammit442]

I ordered them one after the other. Regardless, they both say "shipped"

I also ordered one and then decided to order another. So two separate transactions. I've got two different tracking numbers. I did send the seller a message to see if he'd change my order from Chinese shipping to shipping from NJ. I guess we'll see. FWIW, I've been doing the eBay thing for over 20 years without ever needing to leave a negative feedback. As many sellers will tell you, ebay/PayPal have been changing policy to overwhelmingly favor the buyer, NOT the seller. It doesn't take much of a complaint to cause a seller to end up accepting (and eating) fallacious returns. This occurs most frequently when selling to new eBay members who don't understand the ettiquitte that honest sellers/buyers follow. Just my opinion from experience.

Oh baby, don't it feel like heaven right now?
Don't it feel like something from a dream?
Yeah, I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again?
Baby, we know better than to try and pretend
Honey no one coulda ever told me 'bout this

I said yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

I'm also thinking of another order. I know the black one with the amp is the best value
But I'm a sucker for sunburst as most basses I own are sunburst.

You can have my amp when (if?) it comes. Local pickup only

I went black, in hopes I'll never go back

I guess they're really keeping the "scam" alive by sending me shipping updates to check on.
These guys are good, they got their hooks in me deep!

If my white Glarry does turn up, I'm going to make it my #1 just because it's got a story behind it. The other basses I've bought have been boring and straightforward, free of mystery and intrigue.

 

[lowplaces]

Just received my order. Express mail.

I thought I might of got ripped off because the box was far too small for bass.

But no, exactly what I expected !

 

[gungrog]

Well, I've resisted so far, but just gave in. I've rolled the dice on an Exquisite Golden.

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Rockbobmel]

Same here. Broke down and bought one. It's worth the $20. just as a conversation piece. I was thinking about bringing it to a gig (without anyone knowing) and smashing it at the end of In a gadda da vida, honey!!

 

[SLIV]

@lowplaces, I've sincerely tried but could you explain?

 

[Telanoc]

ANYWAY..............enough of this, let’s get back to TB talk......

What are some mods, paint schemes, parts replacement, pickups etc you all plan on doing to your new bass/guitar if/when it arrives???

I plan on immediately replacing the strings and then upgrade the volume and tone controls along with the pickups and some shielding.

I got the blue $14 and white $18 to be my second and third basses. I'm going to immediately practice in my Abbattoir of Amateur Luthierity and Butchery. I'm liking the D'Addario NYXLs I put on the black Glarry GIB so I'll probably get two more sets of those. Maybe I'll string one of them up BEAD. Definitely shielding will be in order (I still need to do that on the first one).
Since I'm thinking of starting (or joining) a "Craptastic Player With Craptastic Equipment" club, I might buy a spool of wire, some magnets and 3d-print some PUP forms. You always get the answer to "How bad can it be?" Or maybe I'm a genius at winding pickups and just don't know it yet.

$17.99 poorer

$17.99 poorer

Yep, quite possibly. Or paypal will be. It won't break either of us.

But hey, I might just possibly get a replacement for my current '80s korean cheapy wreck, and I've got almost $100 invested in that (OK, most of that was on a set of flats.)

Life is fun

Yep!
BTW I'm in a two-way race with one coming from China and one from New Jersey

 

[gungrog]

I'm very tempted to go for another one (to de-fret), but I feel I may be pushing my luck if I do that

I bought the blue one a few days ago and wished i had
bought the “golden” burst one too. Well, darn it all. Now i have one of those coming too, and probably before the blue one. I may have a couple of happy grandkids if they’re actually playable (and they actually show up).

 

[SgtHulka]

If this deal is legit, and it comes up again I'm going to buy five just to fulfill my dream of smashing a bunch of basses on stage.
