Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: karl on August 23, 2006, 03:06:33 AM: OK, it's not an Alembic, but I reckon we can sneak it in here as being quite obviously Alembic-inspired.

But the real reason I put this here - read the seller's rant - that's one unhappy bunny. There's a warning to us all!

Post by: adriaan on August 23, 2006, 03:19:08 AM: From the tone of the comments, she's middle management.
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: FC Bass on August 23, 2006, 03:23:55 AM: I don't think she will be managing bass players anymore:
0.99P NO RESERVE POSTAGE ONLY
[AS I DON\T WANT ANOTHER ******* BASS PLAYER NEAR MY ******* HOUSE THANK U VERY MUCH!]

Post by: 57basstra on August 23, 2006, 09:14:01 AM: That is the 'Whippets Dinkle.
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: 57basstra on August 23, 2006, 09:16:50 AM: Oh yeah, and the same as played by the legendary Mark Kink!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: alembic_doctor on August 23, 2006, 09:23:31 AM: is he from the not so Legendary band Level 69

Post by: bsee on August 23, 2006, 09:32:56 AM: Maybe a fun read, but I'd never bid on it. Who wants to deal with a seller like that? If she stuck to being pissed at her ex and was less rude to those asking questions, it might become interesting to a buyer. I say she because, in the internet world, who knows if this is reality or just an angle to make a sale.

Post by: 2400wattman on August 23, 2006, 09:44:11 AM: I got her Dinkle hangin'!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: 2400wattman on August 23, 2006, 09:45:06 AM: She probably looks like Andy Capp's wife!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: alembic_doctor on August 23, 2006, 09:45:38 AM: Not that I advocate it, but it may be no wonder this guy cheated on his wife.
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: bigideas on August 23, 2006, 11:03:17 AM: hey now, no bashing Flo. she's put up with Andy for a long time.
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: jazzyvee on August 23, 2006, 11:24:52 AM: I'm inclined to think it's a story to get an interest in the bass.

However if it sells. Why not. Sex is used to sell many things and so is a scandalous story true or false.

Post by: bigredbass on August 23, 2006, 06:04:35 PM: That is absolutely priceless. Roman Conqueror, Pt. 2.

I'd be afraid to bid on that f****** plank, too.

Stanley Clunk and Marcus Mumbler, u f****** bass anorak ! ! (Read the questions at the bottom!!)

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. This listing was the whippet's dinkle ! !

Post by: FC Bass on August 23, 2006, 06:10:16 PM: Somebody is not laughing... But hey, maybe his new girlfriend has a huge Alembic collection...
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: jacko on August 24, 2006, 08:04:33 AM: It's being discussed on the Bassworld forum. The consensus is that it's a shared profile and the guy has made up the story to get some interest. It'll be interesting to see how much it goes for.

Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: 57basstra on August 24, 2006, 08:54:04 AM: Then that is certainly not the 'Whippets Dinkle and I am sure Mark Kink would be appalled!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: precarius on August 24, 2006, 03:02:47 PM: Whippets Dinkle? Maybe I'm losing something in the translation, but why would I want a bass that is comparable to a dog's genetalia? Does it only come out of it's gig bag when it is excited? I'd probably come home and catch it humping my Alembic!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: lbpesq on August 24, 2006, 03:42:13 PM: It starts as a short scale, but as you start playing it and the music gets hotter it .... on second thought, never mind!

By the way, I hope everyone notices that she is talking about bass players, NOT guitarists! nyuk, nyuk!

Bill, tgo
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: FC Bass on August 24, 2006, 03:59:58 PM: Would you be brave enough to pick it up yourself?

If you check the sellers feedback the sxxtload of bxxxt clothes would suggest a woman... 'She' also seems to sell 'her' son's 'unwanted' toys
Joke or not, I still think it's funny.
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: FC Bass on August 24, 2006, 04:07:00 PM: If this is for real, you might end up with a bass which has xxx xxxxxx! xxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxx xxxxx! xxx xxxxx xxx xxxxxx!!! scrached all over it...
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: keith_h on August 24, 2006, 04:11:53 PM: But if you look she also bought Nirvana - The Bass Collection Book on August,17th. Can you say Troll.

Post by: u14steelgtr on August 24, 2006, 04:44:14 PM: This seems to be the only item which she is using this markting trick with.

A Juvenile Delinquent bass and bass player.

At least with a drummer you can tell them to beat-it!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: bigredbass on August 24, 2006, 06:19:03 PM: OK, first one of you who'll name his COTM 'The Whippet's Dinkle' . . . . be even better if it's one of those Stanley Clunk models.

Post by: lbpesq on August 24, 2006, 07:05:34 PM: With the Jako Pastelface mod, no doubt!

This is really a scream. I'm checking the questions and answers on her listing just as if it's another thread on this site!

Bill, tgo
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: grateful on August 25, 2006, 05:20:33 AM: She's even heard of Alumbucks(sic)... but mistakenly thinks they're inferior to Jaydees.

Post by: ajish4 on August 25, 2006, 05:25:56 AM: Yeah,

Next thing you know she'll be running a personal ad on E-Harmony. I can see it now kind, loving and forgiving music lover.....LoL!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: richbass939 on August 25, 2006, 08:23:30 AM: Tony, yeah, right. She's a far cry from someone who will buy the old man an Alembic for his birthday.

Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: ajish4 on August 25, 2006, 10:02:29 AM: Too true, or for Christmas for that matter!

Rich, you have a FANTASTIC memory. I'm lucky if I can remember who my kids are!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: lbpesq on August 25, 2006, 11:40:47 AM: Tony:

How could you forget that I'm one of them ...... and you promised to give me an Alembic on my next birthday! hehehehehe

Bill, tgo

Post by: ajish4 on August 25, 2006, 02:23:10 PM: Hey Bill,

I thought I said I'd get you the SAME thing you gave me last year! However, my wife does that to me ALL the time!

I told you my parents were coming for Christmas, and you said yes...and my response, I did?

She LOVES to ask me stuff at 2am, waking me out of a dead sleep to get the answer she wants! Good woman. She's taught me a trick or two!
Title: Hell hath no fury . . .
Post by: richbass939 on August 25, 2006, 03:20:32 PM: Tony, there's still plenty of time to promise me an Alembic for my next birthday (which is a couple of weeks before Bill, tgo's birthday). Sorry that I'm trying to cut in line, Bill.
A tip on the kid thing. Carry pictures in your wallet and write their names on the backs.
I remember very well the story of your getting your latest bass. But don't be fooled. My memory is slipping like you wouldn't believe. Just ask my wife.

Post by: ajish4 on August 26, 2006, 06:22:20 PM: Tell you what Rich, if I hit the 20 Million lottery tonight, you got it!

Good idea with the pictures, I have to remember that!

It's horrible getting old, isn't it?
