Must admit tho, my first thought was that he had taken a band saw to a B302 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Well, I walked into Hobgoblin Music in Canterbury today and guess what, there it was, just sitting there, looking every bit as poorly made, ugly, mutant and unplayable as it did in the ebay listing. It has a £400 price tag which proudly proclaims "Hand built in Canterbury" I'm ashamed of my town C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Man, I've just re-checked the photo in the ebay listing and I'm not sure it's the same bass. It's the same shape and design etc., but the hardware and pickguard are different, and I think the one I saw today was a different colour! Surely he didn't make two, perhaps planning a big production run? Oh, and if you look very carefully on the pickguard next to the G-string, the 'builder' has put his name to it. Why would you do that C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disappointment of seeing it? "Our Secondhand instruments come with a six month guarantee.
