Which he's selling at "Half Price" - £400?

[thumbo]

"Brand new full size bass guitar by swift music london,there is some info on the web about them,as a promotion we are including a bag,strap and lead.maple neck,solid hardwood body,a lovely guitar at a ridiculous price"

Great! There's some "info on the web about them". The title of the auction is 'Beautiful Pink Bass Guitar', so all I need to do is type that into Google, right? I'm sold.

I once bought a bass on eBay that had "great power of self-assertion". I wasn't really feeling it though, so I sold it on.

If you have a look at his feedback and see what he has actually sold it's hilarious. Novelty lighters and garish belts!

Hows this for a comment on "most bass players"

[quote]The fingerboard has been off at some stage to work on a sticking truss rod. Never goes back perfect so the finger stopping of the strings is not good above the 12th fret [b]but most average bass players don't ever play above the 12th fret anyway[/b].( If needs be this could be improved if someone wants to do a refret and shoot the neck at the higher position).[/quote]

12 fret bass anyone......
