Just found a stripped of hardware but otherwise brand new Dean acoustic bass in a dumpster.

about a day ago from Twitter for iPhone
Weirdly it had the shipping invoice with it: $1700.00. I mean WTF.

about a day ago from Twitter for iPhone
Even more weirdly I can find what appears to be the same product, with hardware, online at $149. Bizarre.

about a day ago from Twitter for iPhone
@ob1quixote @ardaniel a closer look at the invoice reveals the $1700 instrument is not the same as the $149 one.

.@ob1quixote @ardaniel so the logical explanation is: order cheap acoustic-electric. Decide you like it, want to upgrade. Do so online.

.@ob1quixote @ardaniel Strip hardware off cheap bass (pegs, EQ & piezo bridge I guess, grover machines on head) & stash or resell for ~$125

about a day ago from Tweetbot for iOS
.@ob1quixote @ardaniel pegs, $5 each if lucky, EQ / bridge list on CL @ $90 and drop at $40, machines, list @ $25 & drop @ $12.50 ea.
