JJW Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Would anyone on here buy this? I certainly wouldn't but it definitely isn't something you see on eBay that much. I think . http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575090229&toolid=10001&campid=5337531593&customid=Ygg&icep_item=200818594017&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Not only wouldn't I buy it, I'd be very reluctant to deal with anyone who owned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically my self-made EUB fits nicely into a soft Shotgun case, although there are no Tubes down here and I don't gig it anyway....

JJW Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 It's looking like it wouldn't matter about the UK customs because it doesn't seem like many people would buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 They used to have one in Denmark St back in the mid 80s....probably still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 There was one in stock in a magazine that I had my sights on, but I didn't pull the trigger. They're a barrel of laughs, though; the problem is getting shot of it; the folks recoil from buying 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnDeereJack Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Peter Tosh played an M16-style guitar quite a lot. I imagine this bass would have suited Robbie Shakespeare down to the ground!
