OI!

 

[roballanson]

OI!

Not you chuck........ pregnant wife...hormones..would never say that apart from in jest, and then only if there is a clear escape route.

But come on - look at the ad, some big claims in there.....

 

[bovinehost]

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.

 

[Psycho Ward]

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

 

[strummer]

Nice bass, idiot seller!

 

[bovinehost]

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.

 

[azzy_wazzy]

Ditto

I know you're only messing Rob!

 

[r goldsmith]

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".

Would really be fun to sit down and have a beer with this person.

If by "beer" you mean to "smash the bottle over his head" then I am in agreement

 

[Psycho Ward]

I figure he's just caught up in eBay BS and just looking for the all day sucker.

 

[tkarter]

I really meant sit down and have lots of beers Just imagine all the lies that could be swapped over a few beers.

He's just a badly misinformed.....eh, what's the noun? I'm looking for a noun.

Okay, 'misinformed', there's my adjective, the noun, the noun......

Oh yeah - "liar".

So sayeth I, and I am a very nice person.
