the hand of john curley

It went for £45! Have you seen his penultimate edit?! Even better than the main ad! This mans a living legend!!!!! MDP.....take note!!!!!☺

Glad to be of service 😁

This is superb! Most honest ad I've ever seen http://bit.ly/15N7SH8

I'm still trying to work out if this is a serious auction....horribly...I think it is!!!!!

Mark D Phillips made this from scratch... Brilliant! However...no mention of ANYTHING being within a gnats cock of being level!!!!! .......strange!

....ahhhh.....that'll have been this then!!!! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261083127110"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261083127110[/url]

His selling bulls**t just gets better!! Looks like he's put a bit of pudding on too!!!

Oh god.......http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-Bass-a-dual-tone-pickup-type-J-bass-in-metalic-blue-/190775365513?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2c6b190f89 ....still at least he's pointed out that the nut is at the head end......Jeez....I hope to god he's set the neck to within a knats cock of level....... Really cannot understand why this didn't sell first time round??......and just noticed this.... Play like a shop guitar?: No... loads easier to finger now: full set up.

Surprised Master Luthier/Setter-uperer/bodge master/tosser M D Phillips hasn't already pounced on this. Beeswax it up, re cut the nut, alleviate the concavity of the neck and then flog it at £30,000?????

First thing I do in the morning is grab my coffee and read all the MDP threads, I then spend the day inanely chuckling as remember little snippets! No matter how much of a tw*t he is, he's damn entertaining! Even if it is unintentional !!! Right I'm off to file the nut off the kids £10 Toys R Us guitars, give the necks some concavity, slap some beeswax on them then stick em on the bay for £700 each. They are just like the ones Eric Claptons nephews, next door neighbours mate might have played. Dr H Shipman (deceased)

Brilliant Mr F!!!! Nearly spat my cocoa out when I read that :-)

It's like the Python "Fish license" sketch "that's not a knopfler, it's an encore with the word encore crossed out and knopfler written on in crayon"!!!!!!!!!!!

Oops !!! Been moderated!!!! Apologies ! Won't happen again !!!

Does anyone remember a guy from eBay a while back called Dave who went under a name like Harley Benton guitars or some such? Well he used to do basses up and flog them but they were really good. He made me a jaco copy years ago, defretted neck, beautifully filled in, great neck, real pleasure to play and still gets good comments now! Cost? £125.!!!!! I can't believe this M D Phillips guy gets away with the money he charges for utter sh*te! Forget my previous "cock" comment.....he's an utter ****! Can't we all pay him a "visit" en mass ?!!' )

ha ha !! Wasn't too sure what the mods would allow!!! :-)

So.....looking at his "strat" replica.... [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]"The jack socket only worked intermittently, but it needed me to increase the internal routing and find a shorter socket plate screw because it was coming through and poking the tip of the jack plug."......so you basically put a smaller screw in???????[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]"I polished all the fret-wires with wire wool, and re cut the zero fret nut grooves to give light easy chord playing in the first few frets.[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]The truss rod operated well, and with that and some bridge adjustment it I have optimised the playing action.".......What??? so you can't play chords after the 5th fret?, ah well he's optimised the playing action so thats ok![/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]What an utter cock.[/size][/font]

He MUST be aware of the basschat community's discussions of him?! We should hijack every one of his eBay adds with a link to these threads !!!!!!! He still looks like Peter Sutcliffe !
