WarPig Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Project Bass Couldn't see this posted before. I had to google the woods, never seem them used for instruments. And what's with the 2 random screws in the body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Chancer. Pickup routing looks crooked and it looks like its made from 1 piece of wood and needs quite a lot of fine finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b7l4s Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Wow - not to mention some of the other overpriced sh*te he's selling... a crappy practice amp for more than a new one that comes with a guarantee, plus £20 postage. Do these people have no shame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Thing is, many people really are stupid / ignorant / lazy [delete as applicable]. Someone I know very well noticed three weeks ago that certain websites were still selling Product X at 'normal' (i.e. pre-Lockdown) prices. He needed a couple, so he bought half a dozen and immediately listed the spares on eBay at double the retail price. All sold within three days. So he went back to the original website and bought another dozen at full, normal retail, then listed those too. They all sold within a week. So he went back to the original website and they had finally sold out, but he found another website selling them at a slightly higher price. He bought a dozen of those and has now listed them. For context, he has so far made over £400 cash in clear profit on sales to date, and will nearly double that if the rest of his stock also sells. He is doing absolutely nothing wrong, and he has no special knowledge or access that no other punter has. I don't know whether to admire his entrepreneurial spirit or be appalled at his greed.

prowla Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) That truss-rod is on a wonk. I think we've had a Brazilian oportunidade featured on here before... Edited April 25, 2020 by prowla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 It must be good. It's made from "proper Brazilian luthier wood", after all... Probably Warmoth parts. Given that you could get a complete used American P bass in good nick for a grand (or less), does he really believe people are that stupid? Time for a low ball offer to p!ss him off, I feel 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
