Not at all, I never get tired of marveling at it! It's hard to believe not only that someone would create this abomination in the first place, but then list it on eBay in the hope of selling it? What's going on there, then??

12 offers and still no sale, and it's been advertised since year dot...I think the seller has a different preception of its value compared to everybody else!

i did offer to take it off his hands if he paid me a tenner and covered the postage....never got a reply, must be considering all the similar offers!

A few of us have made various offers to him, all have been rejected.

It was originally a 10 string, I have no idea why he's done this to it.

We could club together and buy it, then burn it. That might stop it coming back. Maybe...

[/quote]If that happened, it would appear there is actually a market for this. That could mean there will be more people putting such monstrosities up for sale. I don`t think that would be a good idea

I don`t really see any point of having barely audible low rumblings.

I usually get those for free with a post drink takeaway. I do like the low action, tidy bridge and even string spacing though.

Looks so bad it could almost have been made by me :(

As an aside, do you think it would be any good for metal?

You might be able to flog it to a young, naive, "nu" metal guitarist and tell him it's the next big thing after 7-string guitars, and is perfect for drop-F# tuning, or something like that...

As another aside, the listing did link out to this particular specimen and now I wish I had three grand to spare

[/quote]Nice bass but they're stretching the celebrity definition a bit far.

Sorry to say I've never heard of him. But then I'm quite sure he's never heard of me, either.
I don't get why you'd buy a bass on the strength of it being previously owned by a 'celeb'. What possibly difference can it make?
