Bloodaxe Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 OK it's not the prettiest Jazz in the world, but nothing a scratchplate wouldn't sort. The price seems fair to me, & the sellers' description is accurate. Here we have an established member trying to get shot of some stuff (for very good reasons) & getting stick for it. Is this really on? P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) I've been accused of hacking away at my Shine six-string, and the name of a well known ebay seller was mentioned. And it looks pretty bad at present. But if my plans come to fruition and I make a new pickguard for it, I think it'll look OK. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with modding cheap instruments. Edited October 27, 2013 by Annoying Twit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer of the Bass Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I dunno, I'd say he was pretty upfront about what had been done to the bass, and didn't try to pass it off as anything other than what it was. An entirely different kettle of fish to he-who-shall-not-be-named with his colourful descriptions and debatable claims of "improvements". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Regardless of the fact that the seller is a Basschatter, that's not a bad price for what it is - I'd need to whack a scratchplate on it (BassDoc ahoy!) but the neck looks lovely.

oldslapper Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Cheers fellas for the nice comments. Its cool, I've been insulted by proffeshnuls, so a few comments on here aren't gonna hurt ......it's just people's opinions, not taken personally. :-) It's actually a really nice playing bass, with the worst lacquering finish on the headstock in the history of lacquering, but I actually like its ugliness. Sold too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHeart Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Haha looking at this i think i need to re assess the price i put my rescued fretless jazz up for sale for, was going to price it well below but not now. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 So it's OK to spend years laying into MDP but if it's a member we can't? I have no real feelings either way but it seems a little unfair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Giving an opinion, even (especially..?) in jest is one thing. Insulting someone (anyone...) is another. There is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
