the hand of john curley Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Tbh I think if he filed the nut and tweaked the neck to within a knats c*ck of being level, then took the pickups out, replaced them with a haddock and finally advertised it in Mahooosive Hands monthly....he'd sell it in minutes.....

discreet Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1424531899' post='2697387'] But £55 is still not enough for him. What does he want, the moon on a stick? [/quote] I offered him three million pounds but it was declined.

Annoying Twit Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1424531899' post='2697387'] 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] Would it be cyber-bullying if all of us offered him £59.26 every hour for a week?

Beer of the Bass Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 There is a downside to that. If he cracks and accepts the offer, one of you will end up owning it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The haddock thing interests me. I had in mind maybe a flounder, or perhaps a pair of herrings (with a coil tap, natch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestar Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 No a mandolin is one of those chef things for slicing veg and removing fingertips. Far more useful than a 15 string bass, if a lot more dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It seems that he accepted an offer of £1000 for it. Not too sure about that as the offer is dated the 25th Feb 2015, and it's only the 24th. It was amusing to see all the other offers. Apart from one of £250, most of them were in the £50 or thereabouts range. Some where £1.50 and so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliasMooseblaster Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424456326' post='2696584'] If he wants to shift it he should offer it for less than nine million pounds, imho. [/quote] Ha! I notice it now says "best offer accepted." I can only presume that somebody dropped him a line to say "I'll give you a tenner for it."
