These things have been made using a special "*EZO Energy/Space Method of wood, metal, and ctr. treatment." Yeah. Try asking Fender for that. "Modifications: mass crystallisation (wood), resonating in human emotional range." See? They're not just screwed together, they have a metaphysical birth. Well worth 120 grand, I reckon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Change the atmospheric conditions? Stone me. I'll have a couple. Fed up with it being cold and damp. Gets in me bones, wot wiv me being 65 and a pensioner, like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Interesting; I have an uncanny ability to change the atmospheric conditions myself, though I'm not sure it's a feature people would pay money for. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I'd rather have a bass made using unnatural power. Edited February 12, 2019 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 You'd think that someone trying to sell half a million quid's worth of ludicrous botched-up rubbish exotic basses could afford to have an actual English-speaking person cast an eye over his immortal prose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 They look like props from an old Dr Who series, circa Tom Baker. I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicbassman Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Lets see now... Purchase this and you'll immediately get a fantastic gig and maybe some New Age friends, although you can't actually really play ! Free enrolment into School of Gullibility ! Contains shakric crystals! Monks (or something similar) chanting whilst it was made! Built on a ley line, and then suspended on warm stones for 3 days ! Genuine Realisation Mantra written on old scrolls concealed in neck pocket (plenty of room there) ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanol Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 These basses are perception changing, elemental works of nature. They are hand-crafted to free the supertonal characteristics that have been breathed into the forces locked within them. They are a timeless testament to the very heartstones that dwell withing all living things, and which bind us all into one. I particularly like the fact that they have a price on them that ends "and eighty-five pence", as though they were washing up bowls from Wilko (which, when I think about it, are also full of water)?

That's probably just currency conversion from their currency local to where they were made, sorry, breathed into life, the currency being the Papua New Guinean Trundle. Probably. Or the Kow-Pat.

Unknown_User Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I have to confess I think that water one looks pretty good. If it was £120 I'd strongly consider buying it, but even if I won the lottery I wouldn't spend £120k on one just on principle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Oooh look! I've designed a bass! That'll be £120,000 please! 🤑 (and people [yes you @fleabag] slate my drawings!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 You're wasting your time ... the vendor won't even know about the auto-rejection of your pathetic bids. Get with the program, guys. Everyone send him a private message through eBay offering him three million moonbeams in payment, or a pair of zircon-encrusted tweezers, or a baby's arm holding an apple, or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 On the water bass the seller forgot to mention what to me is its biggest selling point, namely the crude drawing of a Sci-fi or superhero film villain on the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 "*EZO or ES Method – Energy/Space Method of wood, metal, and ctr. treatment. Modifications: mass crystallisation (wood), resonating in human emotional range. Sound effects: real presence with element of reverb and chorus. Developed by Mr. Papian." I was reading this in the ad and I thought, that's familiar. Then I remembered, it's one of Jon Anderson's lyrics from side three of Tales for Topographic Oceans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfoundfreedom Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 You'd have to be metaphysically born yesterday to pay that for a bass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
