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?  ;)

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.

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