Aw man hasn't this thing gone away yet?  :rolleyes:

I'm gettin' sick of seeing it to be honest.

I think it's been around for 3 or 4 years, at least.  they should lower the price to something like $200-300 if they want to move it.  I wonder how much they got it for?

I always feel sorry for this thing. The worst mutilated Gibson bass I've been unfortunate enough to lay eyes on.

He would be better off parting it out, then continually burning our eyes.

 If the price was realistic I would buy it just to give it a loving home.

He's had that thing up for so long at 10x a realistic price so I doubt there's any chance of that. He's just hoping for one ignorant sucker.

I really don't think they want to sell it. It's advertising for their parts business. They have a number of crazy hacked basses they use like that and a few more sensible ones they sell at slightly more realistic prices. Sometimes they have the same beater up in several auctions at the same time. Their response to negative feedback is quite entertaining.

I see. A retaliatory feedback policy like theirs is why eBay just recently changed its feedback policy.

Of course the buyer isn't always right either. Look at the most recent one where the buyer gives them a neg on the original Floyd Rose parts. How is that the seller's fault?
