The bass looks real but the auction...... not so much.

Well, whomever wins it "is representing you to the life the deep love".. or something. That's one poetic auction..

Now I know why I love Rickenbackers:

"It can take to you in the spirit to be joyful Art always can bring the happy mood to the person"

Anybody here ever heard of China, United Kingdom?

Not since the Opium Wars.

This guy sells all sorts of guitars on the net via EBay and sadly his English is right up the creek!

I have watched a few things he's sold - beware of the astronomical shipping costs, though.

His translation is great humor and happy but sense to only Yoda who is not honorable Chinese. Happy man indeed to greatly and with much happiness, "score" nice green paper from others on dishonorable pretenses.

Every Chinese ad I read has these oddly fractured phrases and Charlie Chan vocabulary.

But, wait a year or two. They learn Western Screw Techniques very quickly and can add plenty of their own. I predict that Meg has a Chinese Tiger by the tail and is already losing sleep over this one!

Shipping is 500 EMS?!?

This auction brought to you by the letter "M", or maybe Emergency Medical Service.
It is not just Art ware, you can wear it too

Ah, one of those stunning admirable musical instrument electric guitars . . . I believe I've got one of those, but I'm not sure if it's the Stunning Admirable model or just the Admirable model. How do you tell? Is the bridge different?

Or Stunned Admiral?

Scammers. I wish there was a way to make an eBay search that scans items in any country but filters out China.
