the boy

Glad to see you've warmed to the postal service. Good luck with the sale. This bass is ace I played one in a guitar shop in Cork Ireland a while back. For this money it's a steal.

Mmmmm that is so tasty.

Amen to that brother.

Call me gay, but I like it.

I had a flat mate who had one. He was a death metaller type. Bloody awful looking thing. The guitar was horrible too.

Well done redstriper.

Two four strings with the same pick-ups/scale-length/number of frets/everything apart from a detuner?
Am I missing something?

Although if someone's going to pay upward of 42,500 for it they're not going to gig it much

Ha ha never even thought about that.

I think a time limit is in order here. If not paid for by lunch then it comes to me. I think that's fair.
Money waiting in fact it's burning a hole in my pocket.

It's sold.

Why do I always miss these golden opportunities and on that note on the off chance that my two friends pull out can you please put me third on the list of people who want this bass at that price desperately.

Hi mate if it comes off hold please pm me.

How do the DD pickups compare to the standard Squier ones?

They are really good. Must agree this is an excellent guitar. I've had 3 over the last few years the first one i sold because I was skint the second I still have and play regularly. The third one I used for parts on frankensteins i was banging up. These are excellent basses.

That looks the business. Great neck. I need a custom neck building I might give him a shout.

Fooking mega.

A mate of mine had one very similar to this and it was beautiful to hold and play, it even smelt nice, real woody(not man wood that wood smell awful). I would love one but they aren't very practical, tonally it was limited. The sound it made was real nice but there was no range. Am I making sense.

I'm just wondering why "the fingerboard had to be shaved". Maybe it grew a big old Jimmy Hill. :DI
I knew you'd have something to say about this one.

Is this a joke thread? Am I missing something here.

It would be interesting to see how much he thinks it's worth. Fair enough if it was Manis from the stone roses and it was all Jackson pollocked, it might be worth a few grand but a session guitar used by some long forgotten mediocre indie types is simply delusional to expect more than the going rate.

The picture is definitely of a real 1960, this dark edged burst is very common on 1960 Jazz basses, almost all original '60 sunburst jazzes i've seen are like this, they fade to an almost 2-tone appearance. (See examples below for reference)

Is the auction real............yeah right!! Has all the signs to avoid, zero feedback, especially rare item, poorly described, almost no pictures, starting price of £1, and no replies to questions.

I sold skinvert my 74 p bass maple neck. What a genuinely nice guy who is a pleasure to deal with. Payed instantly(haggled a bit, but I like that) no messing around. Please deal with confidence.

Might need to move the pups though, that's one DEEP / MID sounding bass there. Probably best not played through an Ampeg, unless you want the world to implode.

Ha ha:)

I think it's beautiful. Nowhere near worth the money. I'd give £220 on a good day, that's not an offer if you're reading.

I'm sure spaces record company could have clubbed together and bought them a real fender this guy is a stalker, buyers beware.

I'd be very careful with this one fellas. This is the 3rd or 4th time it's been relisted. Each time it sold but the buyer never materialised. I can swallow that line once but something stinks after the 2nd and third time. I contacted the seller to enquire about this but quel surprise there was no response. Tread with caution, if something looks too good to be true then it probably ain't true.

I feel ill, it actually made my head ache. It confused my eyes, its like something pulled from hellboys anus.
