KevB Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 For those youngsters who don't remember it's first appearance years ago you can marvel at the sheer lunacy of our favourite German junk hoarder all over again....surely one of the ugliest POS to grace the bay.

Maybe its a front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noirpunk Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Seriously what is that guy on? I loved how he described a Gibson Ripper once... slightly modified. In my way of speaking it translated to bearely recognisable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 This topic comes up every six months or so. The guy is VERY clever. He has Feedback approaching 9,000 and it's overwhelmingly positive. Most of what he sells is small stuff but he averages better than a guitar/bass a week. Where does he get his business from? From YOU of course, telling each other how crazy he is, whereupon all your mates go and visit his website, laugh at his crazy prices for crap basses, then buy a pickguard or set of replacement screws for your tuners. Crazy? Like a fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budget bassist Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 And some people do actually buy some of his guitars/basses i'd imagine, just because some of them are ridiculously rare, albeit ridiculously overpriced. Dear lord though, that thing is atrocious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This is the cheapest thing i've seen him sell. anyone idea what make it could be? i'm seriously thinking about this one.

neepheid Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I think I'll re-offer him £100 for that butchered Ripper. One of these days he surely must bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Some of that shops stuff has been on ebay for not far off 10 years, I remember looking at some of the stuff when I was in uni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerdragon Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 it is a bit hooky. nah. i wont bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Looks like an old Fenix bass judging by the headstock. May be wrong but.......... [url="http://www.pksmusic.com.au/showProduct/Sold+Items/Bass+Guitars/FXJB/Fenix+Bass+Guitar"]http://www.pksmusic.com.au/showProduct/Sol...nix+Bass+Guitar[/url] If it is a Fenix it'll be ok, looks nice enough!

beerdragon Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Yeah looks like a Fenix, which are made by the same guy who made squires for Fender. this guy has pinched waynepunkdude's bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markytbass Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I just like reading his feed back. I wonder how many people buy the cheap stuff just to leave neg/neutral feed back and wind him up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely targeted advertising for the price of a few eBay insertion fees. Genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
