That's really sad. Great looking bass. Needs some real TLC.

That...my brain can't even fathom why someone would be that stupid.

 

[millsbass5]

That reminds me of the OPPOSITE of what I done to my Jazz Bass Special,back in the early 90's.


Remember the Wilkinson 4 to 5 string Bass "conversion kits?"

Yes,I did change it back.Still have that kit though.Talk about NNNNAAARRROWWW string spacing!!!Felt like playing a mandolin!!!

Are we sure the headstock ear didn't just break off?

edit: I just read the full auction...oops, wow, I agree man. Damn.

 

[megadan]

Wow... that... that doesn't even make sense. I mean.... jesus... you can CUT the headstock but you can't add a new nut? Good god.

 

[sonic assassin]

We will never be able to make sense of this.

I initially thought it would be great bass to mod with a new set of pickups. Then I saw the headstock.

I may watch it simply to see if anyone actually BIDS on this.

Maybe I will, too. Even if that were a "Buy it Now" price it would be a sin!

Thats like seeing a wreck on the side of the highway but you just can't help but look.

 

[Mr. Ray]

Cut the headstock and remove a bridge saddle...took probably about 10 minutes = garbage. How do spell Ebay scam...oh I just did.

 

[PartyFindsYOU]

I had to hug my own bass just to get the chills out of me... that thing needs to be burned and buried about 30 feet in granite.

I just about rolled out of my chair laughing.
Then I thought, wait, all it needs is a new neck. Good as new

 

[Govier966]

someone's gonna buy it with insurance and then claim it was damaged in the mail.

 

[Mike151]

I'm thinking drugs were involved in this so called "conversion." My guess would be meth.

Don't forget the saddle, and bridge he took apart where the B string was...

What!?! By some crazed postal employee with a skill-saw????? sort of hard to "break" it like that....

 

[crustychef]

What the WHAT!? This inspires me. I think I'm going to take a dremel to my bass remove the frets. Then maybe I'll add a tremolo made out of paper mache and a wire hanger.
