Born 2B Mild Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I have a few things ending on eBay today, and I'm tempted to spend the proceeds on this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=360110478106"]5 string hollow body[/url] It goes against my principles (try before I buy, buying used instead of new, must have block inlays etc.) I just wondered if anyone can put me off due to previous experiences with this product line/vendor. It will cost £153 delivered, excluding customs add-ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bremen Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Non-adjustable bridge. Bet the B is really weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Looks like a guitar, so from a distance you'll look like a Dwarf playing a Les Paul. Do you really want that? Especially during Pantomime Season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I agree about the bridge, but I'm happy with a high action, so fine adjustments are not so vital. I'm wanting to put flats on, and play mellow, so the PUPs just need to do a basic job. And as for neck dive ...I used to gig a Gibson T-Bird, so I think I can handle that! My hope is that it is made to a reasonable level of robustness, but my worry is that it will be fragile and the guarantee irrelevant due to the cost of returning it to the states. Keep on putting me off though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldGit Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 That's being sold by "[b]ky[/b] [b]ky[/b] item" Sounds like a slippery customer How about this other one they have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Why is the string spacing different for the D -> G strings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Because it's a nasty piece of cr@p masquerading as a musical instrument. Ultimately it's only good fire firewood and then the toxic fumes released from the glue and finish will probably kill you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
