yorks5stringer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Chip off the old block? Interesting in that I thought Affinity's had those shonky Tuners with little rectangular boxes over the gearing but this one has open Tuners like the VM and CV Squiers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 17 bidders - enough people thinking that it's a bargain. I didn't look - are their any cheap P bodies for sale at the moment?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's not a bad £50 bass. Edited November 13, 2019 by prowla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Has it been chewed by a pit bull? That's a hell of a chunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Bet the neck dives a bit mind with less counterweight at the other end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 So - you drop your bass (or more realistically, use it to demolish a wall) and as a result knock a f*ck-off big chunk out of the body. Do you a: attempt to glue the piece back in, Or b: lob the bit of wood on the fire & go "sod it. no-one'll notice". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowregisterhead Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I predict someone will 'repair' it with wood filler and it'll turn up in a branch of Crack Converters within 3 months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 You can just buy a good condition squier affinity off ebay for £30 and use the body from that instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea - and then you can sell the left over neck to get some cash with which you can get the damaged body fixed! All you need to do then is buy another £30 Squier to obtain a neck for it at a decent price... and then the left over body is all profit 🙂 </irony> This is probably how how he should not be named got started... Anyhoo - somehow this has reached over £70 with 10 hours to go... what am I missing, apart from a pathological desire to throw away money?

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The replacement tuners have been fitted at a bit of a jaunty angle - who do we know that would do such a thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
