the electronics are from before they messed with them and ruined them

Someone should ask him what they did to the electronics.

And then smack him across the head with a fish.

Oh there’s some bad wiring for sure, in that guy’s head!

**strummer** · 07-25-2006, 05:24 AM

Nice bass, idiot seller!

**bovinehost** · 07-25-2006, 05:40 AM

Indeed. Perfectly good bass. Is it bad information? Is it ignorance - or a combination of the two?

Why not "This is a great bass"?

Which it undoubtedly is.

Cold fish to the head!

If by "fish," you mean "tire iron," I'm right there with you.

Ditto

I know you're only messing Rob!

Well, I did follow this up. When I asked the seller to substantiate his claims that the new ones are rubbish and shi*e, and more particularly, why the quality of the electronics had diminished over the past 10 years, his response was thus:

"cheaper components, crappy pickups and basically a bit of a redesign.. try googling it you should find something."

In other words "I have no idea". Heck I wonder what his credentials are?

I must be insane, I've been playing and purchasing quality instruments for over 25 years. I have purchased 4 new model EB basses in the last 3 years, seems I must have a penchant for "shi*e".
