Not sure this qualifies as Mojo

Mojo or no Mojo,Although the bass exists, I’m not convinced the word “survived” is being used correctly here.

Nice smoke ring, it probably smells great!

I'm curious what planet that price came from. It looks totally cool in a weird way. But it started life as $700 bass and now it's potentially structurally damaged. I don't get it. But I love the way the fingerboard looks.

I’m not buying it—literally or figuratively.

Perfect bass for playing Fire by the Pointer Sisters. Or, I’m on Fire by Bruce Springsteen. Or, Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire by Jimi Hendrix. Or, Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.

I’m just gonna step aside and watch now…..

Last night I burned my lower lip on a piece of pizza that I had left too long in a cast iron skillet, so I can really relate to the way that Bass must feel.

So your lower lip is loaded with mojo?

This looks cooler than most relic jobs I've seen, tbh.

What, the neck that the owner purposely torched or the miraculously undamaged body that the fire somehow missed?

 

[Ostie]

That bass should be used by the Fire Dept as a teaching aid to demonstrate why you should get down on the floor in a fire. Less heat and smoke there.

"Survived a fire". Did it? Did it though?

 

[flannel cat]

looks like it was played to fast....

Apparently someone isn't aware you can buy counterfeit Fender logos to make your bass into a fake Fender, but...I got an A in creative writing in school, and there's this blowtorch right here.....

I find it suspicious that the building fire it was in has completely charcoaled one end of the bass, and 3 feet away, the finish on the body is untouched. That just doesn't happen.

Taking a closer look at the pics - the back of the neck picture. Whatever happened to the neck of that bass, the body was absolutely not attached when that happened.

Fender Precision Bass! Made in Japan! Survived a Fire! | eBay

Early experiments with roasted maple...

Too much “mojo” ?? Well that’s in the beholder. Would I pay that much for it? Not even it was the last bass on earth.

Side bar: Have you noticed on Ebay that you will see a lot of postings with pictures of the same bass but different sellers? These sellers don’t actually own the bass. They are resellers (and very profitable) and it’s huge in Japan.

Yes, I have noticed that and wondered about how it works.

So you buy the bass and the seller goes and buys it from the actual owner? Or is this some sort of brokered sale situation where the owner has contracted with several sellers to rep the item?

Yup, that’s how in works. This is a hypothetical explanation. Picture a big store with a lot of instruments, with price tags. Reseller sees bass A is selling for $1,200. They take a pic, post it on Facebook, EBay, Reverb with a nice mark up. The first reseller with a deal wins.

So what happens if seller A wins the deal but subsequently reseller B has has sold a bass? The send a message sorry it’s no longer available, and offers to send a substitute.

Back to reseller A and the selling process. So once he get your sale, he contacts the store, “Is xyz bass still available?” Buys the bass once your funds clear, and has the bass shipped directly from the store to you.

The reality more than likely is a clearing house holds the instruments, publishes the the listings (a catalog of sorts) resellers download them, then post them on media sites, complete the sales process without leaving their house.

One reason I won't even consider buying anything from Pitbull Audio.

Since when did damaged mean mojo? I'll some people some latitude, but that's a bit much (both in damage and in price).
