He needs to say that it's got mahogany sides a few more times.  :rolleyes:

When he says it can be played acoustically, I hope no one thinks you'll be able to be heard more than a few feet away. Maybe it's capable of sounding good in the hands of someone who likes a bass sound instead of a distorted guitar sound. Or not. If you bought one and complained about it, he looks like the kind of guy who might show up at your door with axe in hand.

He should take more drugs next time he tries to sell a bass.

Is that a Washburn? Edit: Yup, reminded me immediately of my trusted AB-20 which still does good service after all these decades.

Why anybody would want to distort a piezo sound fails comprehension though.

i don't think that is a washburn. the body is overall too big and too wide. plus the bridge and trc are different from a real washburn. it also sounds way too crappy. a while back on ebay there were a bunch of cheap washburn clones and i think this may be one.

a little research says the brand name is HasGuitar. clever, huh. price is 199 pounds.(can't find a pound symbol) :P

£199.00 for that sound? What a bargain!  ;D

It sure has Washburn design traits right down to the headstock, the cutaway and the Sound slits. Might be a run their factories have done for that particular music shop's own instrument brand.

You can get any piezo bass to sound better than what this "demo" shows.

Nothing more enticing than buying a bass from a guy selling from his living room, using posterboard cutouts on the wall, and barely blinking when he does the video.  Does he offer free Kool-Aid to his customers?

he does seem to go to 'another place' when he is playing that thing on distortion.
