the babel fish translation should lighten the mood...

"I sell a Rickenbacker bass against highest bid from the year 1974 in the extremely rare color blue (azureglo). The bass was used to last in the studio, functioned magnificently, until the misfortune happened: it fell down and broke the neck! Whether that gets an experienced guitar farmer again, I do not know it.... The bass is in the original state, up to the mechanisms (3 different). In addition the neck became already forwards approx.. 20 years once repaired, the two metal bars were changed and out-sawed in this connection into the impact board two small corners, for the screws at the staffs. One however hardly sees, it is here only for the sake of the completeness mentioned. The rear belt pin is available (see photo) and is provided. Without the neck break the bass would here and there be a really rare piece of collecting tank in good used condition, a few scratch, but nothing exciting and in the color blue I had seen, e.g. him rare hierImageto ww.ishibashi.co.jp/shibuya/item/list.cgi?mode=select&id=695). One could place it even into the showcase, if one did not have anyway forwards to play on it because the neck break regards, from the front, is not visible. As is also, I sells the bass here expressly as piece of amateur handicraftsman, much success with the Ersteigern. The bass is supplied with inclusive to the shown suit-case, no beauty, but serves its purpose to 100%. The keys due to it are missing."
