It is in full working order, good condition and comes with a full UK warranty. It has been taken out of its box and may have some marks on the unit. Please call us if you need further information. Item Specifics: Damaged Bass - Headstock Broken Off" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Surely if it's got a broken headstock it would make sense to take a picture of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Who would pay £150 for that when you can buy a vgc used Squier VMJ fretless for the same money? They must be sniffing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 i just want the headstock, it would look good on my shelf or hanging on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDM Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It could be cheaper to get a non-broken Rockbass off Ebay and just break it yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clauster Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If I had the cash, I'd get it just to upgrade the p/ups and electronics in my passive 'vette (and have spare straplocks too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinhoman Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 i definitely would have bought this, but the price is just too unreasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm no expert, but it looks like there's bits of wood missing - not a very clean break. If all the wood was there then it should be a relatively straightforward fix and not a very hard job at all. I’m talking from experience (x2).

Guest BassKS Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I suppose my Tobias TOBY pro 5 was in a similar condition but with no bits missing. Its for sale by the way and Ive dropped the price to 100 quid pickup from London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
