WARNING: maimed Rickenbacker content

While searching the bay for nice stuff to pick up, I came across this one:
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/Rickenbacke...14&_trkparms=72:1399|66:4|65:12|39:1|240:1318
Why would you do that?

Or maybe it was some extreme anti-GAS therapy?

A shark got to it?

Lordy....owning that same make and color Ric...it makes me ill to see that...........:scowl:

 

[roflol]

guy must of been angry he got a lefty by accident

 

[Poki]

First thread that makes me write something....

Is it neckthrough? Is it possible to replace body?

*crying lefty Poki*

 

[WickedPissah]

talk about reliced!

 

[Happynoj]

I reckon it is probably just a cosmetic thing though - I doubt that the sound will be affected. Someone could pick up a lefty Ric for next to nothing!

799 Euros is about $1000. Pffft.... Unless it was Sid Vicious' bass, that seller is dreaming...

That thing has been up at least once before. No wonder right? That said, a little bondo and a new paint job, and that could be a player. if it was $400 USD I'd jump on it.

Someone needs a beating for that...

So sad...:scowl:

I thought I remembered seeing this bass before! I guess the guy that bought it didn't dig the jigsaw look after he received it. lol

The saddest parrt is the seller's delusional concept of its value - that's way overpriced! As was said in a previous post, maybe $400.

We could all guess what happened to it. I'm guessing it was a 12-year-old with an electric scroll saw and nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon.

Yeah, people are dumb sometimes. I once cut the lower horn off a beautiful P style Charvel fretless, clear over mahogany. Dumb.

 

[Valerus]

the heck?

 

[Musicman81]

It seems like I've seen this one on here before also. I'm guessing the original owner of the bass pissed someone off, and that someone went to sawing on his/her bass for revenge.

IT'LL FIX IN A CINCH WITH MIGHTY PUTTY! HI, MILLIE BAYS HERE TO YELL AND SCREAM AT YOU ABOUT HOW YOU COULD FIX THIS BASS WITH A FEW SIMPLE APPLICATIONS OF MIGHTY PUTTY! JUST ROLL, KNEAD LIKE DOUGH, FILL THE HOLD, SAND AND REPAINT! IT'S THAT EASY OR I'M NOT THE MOST ANNOYING MAN ON TELEVISION!

 

[Lesfunk]

JAYSUS!

 

[SamanthaCay]

you forgot about the binding. you would need to bondo it, re rout the binding slot and than finish it. that color might be a bitch to match as well i would say $300 tops

 

[dannster]

Crystal Meth.
This is the best "don't do drugs" ad ever.
This is your bass. This is your bass on Crystal Meth.

 

[Ampeg SVT]

I wonder if Dave Hall is going to get offended and pull that ad?
