I think I'll be avoiding this seller.

The seller has provided pictures of the bass, and describes it as having cosmetic damage but fully functional.

 

Errr, no.

 

To be fair, it's possible he actually doesn't understand that it's not supposed to be like this.

Almost tempting for £1.75. If it was a 5 I'd have it. £15 tops though.

 

TBF, it's Ebay's definition of "used", and Ebay's boilerplate description text.

[Woodinblack]

Apparently according to the description it has 20 frets. Do they come in a separate bag?

 

If you happen to have another neck, its fine for £1.75!

"a reliable and stylish instrument"... Well, urm, urm, maybe if you're an arrow shooter. 🤦🏻

I couldn't work out what was wrong with it. I'm looking over the body thinking its fine. I looked at the headstock and thought that looked fine. I read the description and thought that's the normal bollocks that eBay puts on. Standard boilerplate.

 

I couldn't see what the issue was at all. I never looked at the neck at all.

 

I need more coffee, a lot more.

 

I do like the comments as well

A standard eBay AI description from the spec and the title the seller provided. 100% not written by the seller.

Made fretless by completely removing the fingerboard.

Tbf, if you live local, even if it went up to £2.00, you'd get some spare parts and a heat source which will be good come winter with current energy prices!
