Lowest Priced New Basses Ever??

[superheavyfunk]

May I ask what was the price of the cello?
Are they still available?
I'm looking for an inexpensive cello for my grandson.
Looking on eBay, so far I haven't been able to find any cellos with such crazy-low prices.

It was 26 bucks... Comes with bow, rosin and case. So was the clarinet - it comes with case, reeds, cleaning cloth and cork grease. Both free shipping.

Frankly, I bought them just because they were so cheap and well, consumerism, I guess. I don't have any plans to be playing Bach on the cello... I've already learned it on the bass and I don't want to confuse myself lol. Depending on your location, I could send it to you when it arrives

Yikes. I'll keep an eye out for these turning up again. Thanks.

FWIW, when I saw that the seller had relisted and showed shipping from NJ, I contacted him and asked if I could have my order shipped from NJ instead of China. He got back to me and said yes and that I should receive them in 5 days. If he's a scammer, he's got the best manners of any scammer I've ever seen.

I was thinking of trying the alto sax he had for sale, but I have a useable Bundy.... that doesn't get used

I had thought about getting the cello and using it instead of an acoustic bass guitar as an acoustic bass guitar, but I missed it

I'm in. Ordered the "golden Equisite". Price is too good to be true and too good to pass up. ($17.99) What are we to do? I figured if its a scam ebay or Paypal will refund my big investment.

Between mine and my wife's eBay accounts I snagged 2 blue basses and the black bass kit along with the green Strat kit.

I ordered one of the red precision's back before Christmas at the regular selling price I think they were 54 bucks or something and it actually was a pretty nice bass and was very playable after a setup. I really didn't like the big fat chunky neck on it so I bought a $35 red vintage tinted Maple block and bound neck and put it on there and played really great after that. Total weight of the bass was under 7 lb. It was a bit thin on the low end but the mid-range grind was very aggressive and growly sounding. it actually was nice enough that you could take it out in gig with it and not have to worry about it.

Now if he starts selling double basses at ridiculous prices.. hmmm...

I'm looking forward to a possible "group buy" on custom pick guards made to fit. The more people the better.

 

[pcake]

yeah, looks like someone is gaming the system.

the $17.99 basses were first posted about last thursday. if that's the first day they were for sale at that price or even the same week, no one who ordered them has received one yet.

it looks like the seller is combating the fake negative feedbacks with fake positive feedbacks

I said no more new instruments this year, and I just bought a blue P and a green Strat. The plan is to set them up and gift them. Damn you all, and this infernal thread.

I'm in Australia and it still says free shipping.

Posted a few minutes ago in the unboxing thread as well. Meant to do it here.

I hope he offers a black strat style guitar. Is it ok to be picky about color at these prices?

Depends. Do you want one or not?

I just bought 2 and I don't even like Fender style instruments.

Got a message to say bass was dispatched this morning but got no tracking number

 

[Haans]

Same here. Not too worried, since I got tracking numbers for all the others. I sent him a message asking for the tracking number, so we'll see.

Same with my blue bass that's being shipped from New Jersey.
Supposed to arrive March 7-12.

I also ordered a white Glarry J bass for $58. That hasn't shipped yet.Thats coming from New Jersey.
Did get a tracking number for the black bass & amp coming from China.
I expect great quality for $58!

I also want a guitar at this price. I would take two, plus bass, so the entire band could smash our instruments at the end of some video clip.
