Ummmm..... $180,000.00??

[metron]

So... whats the problem here?

 

[kenny ames]

Any sound clips??

Having him sign the back of the neck!? let's see how long that ink stays (assumming someone will actually ever play this monstrosity).

I got Les to sign one of my basses and had him hit the body a few inches from the tone controls where my sweaty fingers never touch it.

 

[Buster Brown]

Blasphemy!!

Yeah....no doubt!!

I've been trying to think of a fish related expression for the last 2 hours. I haven't gotten much work done.

Hi, try this one from REO Speedwagon: "You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish."

 

[Joebone]

there's something fishy about this..

No kidding!

 

[the yeti]

i wouldn't give you fifty cents for it.

$80 tops and that's with shipping

"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."

I'm thinking there were an extra 3 zeros on the price.

It's back on he's a slippery fish this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Hand...s-/121119227495?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c3344be67

The location is Eureka, California...

I guess that answers the question "*** is he smoking?"...

This really tips the scales!

 

[loveandbass]

Shipping kills the deal

 

[bassman314]

Just sent the seller the following:

Dear jaymeeyh,

Can you throw in a couple of ounces of whatever you were smoking when you
came up with the price?

 

[lowendmafia]

Anyone else feel like this is just another "Fishing scam?"

 

[millsbass5]

You get a vat of melted gold and replate some new ones.
But I doubt they'd have the best output considering gold is non-ferrous.

John Entwhistle used gold strings, a company called Maxima. IIRC, they're made in the U.K. Back in the 80's-90's, a 4-string set went for around $65.00, if I recall correctly. I bought a set once. Just once.


EDIT: They run around $53.00/set currently.

 

[Handyman]

I wonder how you tuna bass like this one.

 

[bassman314]

The seller obviously has no sole.

I googled Nathan Stipek, and find no one with that name as a professional bassist anywhere.

The charity does exist, and I see nothing about any major fundraisers. You'd think that if someone wanted to give then $50k as part of a sale, they'd be advertising it as much as possible.

In fact, the founder of the charity is named "Jaymeey Hatfield", which looks much like the username of the seller. This REALLY smells fishy.

Do you think he could throw in a Roadrunner case for $50 more?

 

[lowendmafia]

Its just sad that everytime I want to buy a fish-shaped bass its just a hair out of my price range.

Oh, so Roadrunner makes 'em for this model?
