Am I reading that wrong or has the owner been at college for 40 years and instead of this guy sending out a search party he is selling the guy's bass?

Didn't you "fakebuster" experts spot a dodgepot recently on e-bay who said the very same thing? It definitely rings a bell to me..., or is that tinnitus from tonight' gig??

Happy Jack Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 C'mon now, there HAS to be a BassChatter (a genuine one, that is) who actually lives in Lerwick. Anyone stepping forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
