Yet another "Whats this guy thinking!" thread

[hover]

Proof that no planning or forethought was put into that travesty.

I mean really, its your bass but sometimes I just hate people...I had no idea stupidity was "custom".

Take advantage of my stupidity and delusions of grandeur! From my inept mind and unskilled hands to yours! Only 5 times list price.

puh-effing-leeeeeeeeze.

It's been posted already. Merged.

I've seen worse. It's not great, but at least someone had a concept and tried doing something, as opposed to a hack job.

Here's another hacked Soundgear:

Judging by the pickup and bridge, it once was an '88-90 800LE. Now it's just a refinned mess.

Dear god is that headstock decal really necessary?

"Ibanez Custom"

Here's another hacked Soundgear:

Judging by the pickup and bridge, it once was an '88-90 800LE. Now it's just a refinned mess. Here's what I wrote to the seller:

'That bass was a circa 1989 Ibanez Soundgear 800LE before someone stripped it, repainted it, and added the pickguard. The DeArmond knobs are unoriginal, the 'Ibanez Custom' decal is homemade, and the EMG pickups are unoriginal. On the rear, the control cover is unoriginal, and a 5th neck screw has been added. That bass in original condition might be worth what you're asking, but as it is, probably not worth more than $100 as a player.'

Umm...I actually like it...

 

[Projectile]

I don't mind the hack job, but $2500????!!! For a hacked up Ibanez? Really?! This person is clearly mentally ill.

 

[Baryonyx]

You could get an original Soundgear from the early 90's for that price! And still have a lot left over!

 

[Projectile]

I emailed the seller and asked him if he ate paint chips as a kid.

 

[line6man]

Seriously, this bass looks alot like, err.. a certain part of the male anatomy.

 

[P. Aaron]

Ain't nothin' like eliminating all the parts of a bass that don't house electronics or mechanical parts for efficiency.

That's got to be a 'top-of-the-line' gig bag. Right?

 

[Bassslayer69]

I actually dig the pickguard on the red one!

 

[groooooove]

and yet, so reasonably priced..

 

[Projectile]

Got a response back from the seller. He didn't find my "paint chips" comment very funny. 'Says he's selling the bass for someone else and that's the price they asked him to list!

 

[beelzelboss]

ya, and i sell my dads 50's renovated bikes at way overpriced because he "asked" me to.

oh ya, pigs also can fly now i bet.

 

[Baird6869]

Scary thing is... he did a really good (workmanship, not design) job!

Looks terrible but it isn't a butcher job.

 

[Psychotic_Hell]

Man i wish they would bring back the old Ibanez Headstocks. Soooo soooo metal

 

[ProfGumby]

I emailed the seller and asked him if he ate paint chips as a kid.

Too funny!

But as your next post stated about his reply, it is not his bass.

And how much do you wanna bet the guys at the shop that are selling this poor thing laugh their asses off and cry a bit, just like we do? But the fun part is, they will sell that to someone and make some cash. We are doing this for free....
