This seems expensive
« on: December 14, 2015, 10:15:54 PM »
Tennessee 15 string "bass"

Nice refurbishing work, especially the knob holes.

Isn't this the same brand that had those cheap multi-neck guitars and basses that looked to be unplayable?

Too funny ;D If you remove the word "royal" from your post, it is word for word exactly what I said.

If I was part of that discussion, I blotted it from my memory.

That bass is something of a recurring theme on Basschat.

I have no issue with ERB whatsoever. However it seems that this instrument came from a Chinese manufacturer who would literally build anything you commissioned, regardless of if it would work or not. The seller's decision to then do some pointless modification work cheapens an already fairly worthless instrument.
