What is it with these people from Mötley Crüe and why are they doing such horrible things to their instruments.

Actually, I think it looks cool.

I struggle to see past the 7ender style pups on these epi's. Is there something else wrong that I'm not seeing?  ;)

He has dropped the price a little over the last couple weeks. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over priced.

Not much keyword spamming going on with that listing either.

It's a POS. Once you loosen up, you can do (the) runs on it. What more do you want to know?  ;D

I think it's a perfectly reasonable price for a bass signed by someone famous who didn't own or play it, and used by someone else semi-famous as a prop in a video.  :rolleyes:  It's probably not playable, but you would have to pay an extra grand for that.

I'm sure it can be played - there wold be no explanation for the rust-free bridge otherwise. I still think it looks cool. And if you guys' poop looks really like this bass' fin then you should see a doctor real quick!  :rimshot:

+1 on both Uwe's issues:D

Yeah, you can see where the strings have hit the pickups and were the player put his thumb.

Agreed, it doesn't look like poo at all.
It looks like dried up puke.

That's rust. I hear the body work was done by a firm called Urine Nation.

Then he didn't eat any.

Depends.  Perhaps this bass is aimed at the Asian market?

Decorum, general taste and style in this forum has just plunged into new depths. We are the China Syndrome of poor taste here, someday it willk all spill out on the other side of the world.

Sorry Rob, lost in translation mate. Kind of a philisophical joke here and in the UK. "Why is it that puke always has carrot in it even if said pukee hasn't eaten any?"  :puke:

@Uwe: See what your spillage has caused?  :o

In a roundabout, downunderish way I'd say. You can't apply the same cultural standards everywhere.

That kind of humour is just uncalled for Bret, and btw, no tomato skins either... :mrgreen:
