JJW Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Judging by the title he is getting tired of owning this now.

discreet Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 If he wants to shift it he should offer it for less than nine million pounds, imho. If it were mine by some terrible mischance, I'd immediately burn it, throw it from a moving car or chuck it overboard at sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Nobody would dare go near you at a pub gig ,with this in your possession. Even Mr.Drums would feel slightly intimidated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I reckon you could have got away without the "imho" on that statement! He'd have a better chance of a sale if he just parted it out for the EMGs and hardware.

Beer of the Bass Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Is anyone brave/daft (delete as applicable) enough to offer him a mere £8.5 million and see how he reacts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm feeling all smug because I guessed which bass it was just from the title of the thread. For a second I was going to offer him/her £50. Then I realised that I didn't want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Must be worth a bit as parts - all those strings, tuners, bridge saddles. Put legs on the neck and you have a nice work bench for your shed. £50 is a bit rich for me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Now there's an idea. A new way to adjust neck relief, with two little windy handles. Or even curve radius of the fretboard!! I will write to the patent office before anyone else nicks it. Where's my 'Cleartone Guitars' headed notepaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MoJo Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) I expect he and I believe the seller to be male, only bought it to 'impress his mates' "Yes, you heard me right, fifteen strings" He subsequently found that it was unplayable, that the upper and lower most stings actually hung over the side of the fretboard and that his mates were calling him a w**ker behind his back. He's now desperate to sell it to fund a 42 piece drum kit to stop his mates laughing. When will he ever learn?

yorks5stringer Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Surprised someone doesn't take it off his hands and convert it to a 5 string Bass (for those with huge hands). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I thought it might make a reasonable basis for a 5+5 tapper (especially as it has 10 string anchors). But £55 is still not enough for him. What does he want, the moon on a stick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
