4 candles Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Howdy Wanted to offer this to any fans of the guns and roses axeman, quite frankly Im not a lover of GnR and wouldnt recognise Duff if he walked past me in the street and came and poked me in the eye!! but I understand that the right person would appreciate this bass.(to either play or put on the wall as an ornament) Fact is, Im never going to use this bass outside the house and Im not going to put it on the wall either. If anything, the signiture spoils the look of the bass for me and the signiture has no relevence to me either.- Although I appreciate that mr Duff is a very successful, wealthy and internationally recognised acomplished musician, just not my cup of tea. brought from an auction in a drunken stupor, Its not very often that you see a bass in an auction and one got a little carried away. (although it was for a very good charitable cause). Bidding was from a distance and under the influence it looked like an overwater or sadowsky!!! the emphasis is on the signiture rather than the bass itself. The bass itself is an eastcoast jazz, and is suprisingly good sounding and playing. Im sure the bass itself is relitivly cheap but it sounds and plays really well. Not too heavy either although the bass is quite big. lovely finish- sparkly blue with MOP scratchplate. Issues- the nut has cracked on the G string, the fretted notes stay in tune but the open note is not. and there are a couple of dinks around the bass. [attachment=97335:jazz duff 001.JPG] [attachment=97334:jazz duff 004.JPG] I am looking for trades and will consider anything. (as long as it has no signitures on!!) Bass can be collected from Birmingham or I can stick it in a case and post for £20 Thanks for looking Mark Edited January 21, 2012 by 4 candles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It seems to be quite common these days for people to take the cheapest guitar they can find to a gig, get it signed and stick it on ebay the following day. I bet there are a lot of very patient but jaded rock stars out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 candles Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 after extensive reserch, ive just found out that the bass was actually signed by none other than welsh songstress "Duffy" singer of all time classic "mercy" i have it on good authority that she uses the numbers 09, instead of the letter Y when signing anything- (including insurence doccuments and cheques) surely this will put a new slant on things!!

leftyhook Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 What a weird way to try to sell a bass! Thing is, folk on here are' bass players rather than adorning fans of rock stars.. Well, that goes for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
