TheGreek Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Currently £21 - collection only in Staffs - "stored in the attic" would be a concern though.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-bass-guitar-/141366574144?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20ea1abc40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Bass Collection basses are meant to be really good aren't they? Probably worth a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Very good basses with a big following here - I love mine, great sounds from a small bodied, well balanced bass - exceptional value for the money - at £21 it's an absolute steal - just wish I lived closer..

BetaFunk Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 ......and only of interest if you live in or around Staffordshire as it's collection only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It's a bid, so who knows whether it will sell for a bargain price or overpriced. Collection only without any indication of where in Staffordshire it is may reduce the price. Also, I don't recognise those pickups, are they original? Is it a MIJ model, or one of the later ones? I cycled back from Staffordshire to Leicester yesterday. Not sure that I'd want to do that with a bass in a gig bag on my back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I seriously seriously hope someone on BC got it for the £37 it sold for. Bargain of the month, possibly year. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hmmmmm ... that bass appears to be FUBAR. Yes it's a Bass Collection and I'm known to be a big fan, but God knows what that thing actually sounds and/or plays like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Well worth £37 for the neck, if it's decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The Atic comment stopped me from making a bid and taking a road trip. Could have a neck like a banana. Great price if it is in playable condition though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1407708438' post='2523304'] The Atic comment stopped me from making a bid and taking a road trip. Could have a neck like a banana. Great price if it is in playable condition though! [/quote] For somebody close by, it would be a no-risk purchase. The seller listed it as: [quote] Used: [size=3]An item that has been previously used. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully [/size][size=3]operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or an item that has been returned to the seller after a period of use. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.[/size] [/quote] Hence, if on collection the neck was a banana or it otherwise isn't fully operational or does not function as intended, it's a clear case of significantly not as described. If the seller is sensible, they'll then cancel the auction by mutual agreement to get their fees back. Otherwise, if the seller did insist that the buyer pay £37 for it and take it away, then the buyer just refuses the item, pays by paypal, and then claims item not received. It is a risk for anyone such as you (Kev) who would have to take a road trip. But as there must be a lot of people within easy driving distance, the £37 is still a gobsmackingly low price.
