alyctes Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 It has a Heavy Rock Bottom! What more could you ask? ... other than a truss to lift it, and a taste bypass. Both available on the NHS, I'm told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Our German "friend" Music Outlet Shop. Full of over-priced crap. Does he ever sell any of the instruments he has advertised? IMO we should put a ban on mentioning any of his eBay listings here. The idiot doesn't deserve even the publicity of ridicule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything looks as though it's been retrieved from a skip or a fire damage sale. Even the parts have an unhealthy grubbiness about them.

Joshua Higginson Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 For that price tag, I'd buy a nice ESP or LTD bass- some of the finishes on the basses are fantastic, but I've never been able to get one due to being left handed. They don't sound half bad either. I know a bassist who owns a B-155 DX with the blue top and it looks magnificent on stage.

Sometimes, you need grubby bits to replace bust ones on your grubby instrument, there are threads on how to age hardware. Its a niche. I just got £5 for a battered Sound City amp knob. Spare because I tend to put shiny new ones on restored amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
