RELIC? I'll show you Relic! (Ebay Content)

$2,000 bucks ? They are out of their minds

Cool. Classic example of why some people should not be allowed near heat guns.

The pickup routing looks like it was done with the claw end of a claw hammer.

That looks absurd. I would buy it MAYBE for $1000, but that price umm NO! I love old basses and guitars like everyone else does Im sure.

BUT I think this "Mojo" thing is way out of hand. I have seen 60's Stratocaster necks, just the NECKS go for more than a brand new Strat does. That's just a bad joke to me. It doesnt matter if your guitar or bass is 3 years old or 50 years old. The tone is in the hands.

If Jamerson were alive and he picked up a 2008 Pbass set up HIS way, does anyone think it would lack his tone? If Stevie Ray Vaughn were alive you could hand him a $150 Squire Strat and he would still sound like SRV. People dont get that. Vintage instrument ARE legit collectors items, but the prices and beliefs that sometimes drive them confuse me greatly.

+1000!

Love that headstock

 

[barebones]

I just realized... his first Ebay sale too. Crack smoker.

 

[Geezerman]

Relic? That POS is a fossil!

Does that mean we can re-bury it?

 

[EagleMoon]

Looks like it was played by The Human Torch.

 

[Delta_Petra]

Yeah, its looking like major sander burn or someone dumped coke all over the body and set it on fire. Yuck.

Yeah, I think that's how the finish was removed. It's sad, ain't it?

Two grand for a poorly modded, 73 P-Bass with an equally badly stripped finish that looks like someone gave up on towards the end in trying to fight through the nearly indestructible polyurethane finish that Fender used back then? I don't think so. It's been reduced to players value only, and it would be a fool imo who would pay even half of what the seller thinks this thing is worth. You can still get good 70's P-Basses for well under 2 g's! At least I got a good belly laugh on a monday morning reading this post.

not diging the slanted jazz pick up and the poor choice so knob location.
should measure twice cut once.

agreed ...

other than the crap route job , it's probably a pretty good players' bass ...

 

[ausf]

It looks like it was fished off the bottom of a lake.

Then kiln dried.

 

[stflbn]

Looks like over-zealous use of a heat gun to strip a bass to me.

That reminds me of a story...I saw a similar type of thing with a guitar auction once, and sent the seller a question "Does it come with the pipe?" And the seller put it in as part of the auction q&a, with a "What are you talking about?" response. We laughed at that for about a week

no joke.

 

[UncleBalsamic]

It's just well used

 

[bobunit]

$2,000 starting bid?

HA!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

+1 I believe when that's done to furniture it's called 'distressed'.

 

[rustynuts]

That poor thing is distressed alright.....

 

[Slax]

$2000 is absurd... Could be fixed up and made nice, but not at that starting price.

...intonation looks way off on the G string too. (Well played? or not at all? )
