Price now reduced to 'only' £50,000. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OFFERS-THROW-NUMBERS-AT-THIS-TENNESSEE-15-STRING-EXTENDED-RANGE-BASS-/291487445449?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43de0171c9"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item43de0171c9[/url]

EDIT: Odd, my offer of £51.75 has not been automatically rejected.

[b]Not[/b] been rejected? So you soon could be the proud new owner of this, er, this... this fine piece of the art of the luthier?

Not been [b]auto-[/b]rejected. Previously he'd set a limit so that all small offers were automatically rejected by the system without him seeing the offer. Now it seems that this is not happening, and he'll see all the offers.

If he does accept my bid, then my use for the 'bass' would be as a booby raffle prize for the next Midlands Bass Bash. Last I heard, he was expecting in the very high hundreds or over a thousand for this ... thing.

Phew! I like the idea of the raffle... I can imagine this turning into some sort of alternative bass relay: you're [b]it[/b]! :lol:

The Bass Relay idea is brilliant - imagine picking this up and trying to get through a song in front of an audience...

Would the audience be laughing so hard that they may not actually notice what's being played?

If you did win the Bass you would have to start tuning it now to get it ready in time....! Wonder if that D'Adarrio String 50% offer would apply too?

It would have to have its strings reduced by more than 50% to interest me...

Oddly enough I received one of those emails from eBay the other day with the subject line "Don't let it get away!" (Read: "you're not buying enough on here"), which turned out to be none other than the above monstrosity. They obviously assumed that I was interested from the fact I'd dropped back for a second chuckle at it. For a minute I almost thought some daft sod had bid on it...

I'm having the lanyard and Zulu VHS.

They'll cost you about the same as what the bass is [i]worth[/i]. :)
