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

Yeah, that made my brain rush to look at it. I could feel it in my molars.

 

[Stealth]

Shocking. Absolutely shocking.

 

[Mcfunkinstein]

that wasnt accidental that was taken to a ban saw i guarentee that much

 

[Ric5]

I think I need to do that to all 4 of my Rics!

 

[ClassicRock55]

IMO the seller should receive the same carvings on his physical body as the carvings he put on that Ricky......just wrong.

 

[fenderx55]

Ok, so I don't speak german...

what's his excuse?

 

[funkybass4ever]

the owner must have had the worst case of "acid hands"

 

[Ampeg SVT]

Ok, so I don't speak german...

what's his excuse?

He doesnt, he just says Chainsaw model.

So I assume someone took a saw to it.

 

[crack-boom]

Just translated the page on google translate Invalid Link Removed. And he has no excuse or anything, all I get is that its a "Chainsaw Model."

What makes this even worse is that it looks like the seller is taking pride in the gouges by taking detailed pictures of everything.

Not normally into rics but that blue is nice, its just a shame about the rest.

 

[Craig_S]

What kind of fool...?

 

[BigBassBob]

I think the seller must've seen FLCL and took the ideas from the show too far.

After all, it's a an Azureblue lefty with a chainsaw ripcord on the back in the show... blue, lefty Ric... "chainsaw model"?

 

[srxplayer]

That is wrong in so many ways.

 

[Ampeg SVT]

I may not like Rics but thats sad, they are some great looking basses and this dude (or whoever) wrecked it.

 

[Vincent P]

People, I can't stress this enough. Never use battery acid to clean finger prints off your bass.

 

[Darkstrike]

At three, mabye four hundred euros, I'd have bought it, and fixed it up, strung it upside down and rocked it, but no way for eight.

 

[a1bassguy]

This poor bass needs to be put down, like a horse that has broken its leg. Put the poor thing out of its misery!!!! (oh the horror, the horror of it all)

I lol'd.

Rickenbacker:Best defense against shark attacks!

 

[Munjibunga]

That made me gag, and I don't even like Rics.

 

[ironrat]

death penalty on the person who did that...

Dont use drugs, they will make you do that!

 

[stylonpilson]

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!

I agree. I think all the people who are writing comments like "this bass has been ruined forever and should be put out of its misery" are way off the mark.

S.P.
