Needs a loving home, best equipped with this here

but is slightly

overpriced:

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.

Must be the result of hitting the brown note.

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.

Freuds_Cat · May 03, 2011, 05:49:24 PM

Ooooh, I get it! the bridge saddles are all wrong?

Grog · May 03, 2011, 06:56:43 PM

Shure would like to get the real poop on this bass!

Dave W · May 03, 2011, 07:35:57 PM

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

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.

It's probably not playable, but you would have to pay an extra grand for that.

OldManC · May 03, 2011, 11:26:21 PM

All these crappy comments have left me feeling drained.

uwe · May 04, 2011, 04:50:17 AM

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!

Chris P. · May 04, 2011, 07:53:34 AM

+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.

Basvarken · May 04, 2011, 08:02:42 AM

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

Dave W · May 04, 2011, 09:04:41 AM

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