KingBollock Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I have to say, randomly hacking chunks of wood out of your bass is quite a novel way to make it light enough for a woman to lift... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowregisterhead Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) I don't have a particular problem with relicing in itself, as long as there's some logic to it. The top horn, fair enough. The centre and end top edges, OK. Behind the pickups, fine. But WTF happened under the bridge??

yorks5stringer Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 This is the guy who sells Deco and B Stock HB's as "German Engineered".

RickyV Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I particularly like the condition description he has chosen: [color=#333333]Manufacturer refurbished: [/color][size=3]An item that has been professionally restored to working order by a manufacturer-approved vendor.[/size][size=3]This means the product has been inspected, cleaned and repaired to meet manufacturer specifications and is in excellent condition.

cameltoe Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I cried with laughter at that headstock. It looks like a smurf's sock! And the pickguard has blatantly been made out of an old ice cream tub. Pretty convincing wear though. If it was owned by Wolverine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
