That Bass is as cool as... if I live to be 100 my shed building luthier skills might get to maybe 10% of this beauty.

This is what's great about having such choices. I'm the COMPLETE reverse of this. Totally into Warwicks and have two.No Spector I've tried has made me want to reach for my wallet. Not that that helps you. Just rambling

Well , considering the confidence that was lost in the two guitarists eyes and the fact that a new one has just arrived anyone who wants to have a Go at fixing it is very welcome to come get it from me in near woking , Stew our guitarist was asking if he could go at it office space style.

Respect is due.

They've certainly held their value though it seems! I'd be intrigued to try one but I bet there's a lot that can go wrong with the enormous Bob Moog circuit board in 45 years, and I doubt it's easy to fix.

Van der Graaf Generator - Vital. It's a live album. To call the bass sound huge would be an understatement.

Get a Little - Zappa

Yeah I think it’s pretty good. I would be torn between the black one which looks nice and the one which looks like Mikes original one in bare wood. They’ve moved the strap pin to a better place and it’s got a nice bridge AND a PROPER hard case too, which some £3k basses don’t come with. The pick guard - you could get one made which is longer past the jack socket to mirror the shape of the body like the original. Not ideal to have to spend more money but it’s an option. Doesn’t bother me really.

You are the sparkle, @King Tut

You saucy minx, you.

Yeah fair about dynamic pricing, still being possible. "Ticketmaster faced intense scrutiny and hundreds of consumer complaints after the prices for both the 2024 Oasis and 2023 Bruce Springsteen tours soared dramatically with high demand, leading to accusations of price gouging. Resulted in a Competition and Markets Authority investigation. While the CMA did not find evidence of real-time algorithmic "dynamic pricing" in the Oasis case, it did find concerns regarding a lack of transparency about different price tiers and that consumers were not given clear information, which may have breached consumer protection law." I guess at the end of the day folk can't stop sellers selling tickets at whatever prices people are willing to pay. Same goes for anything that shoots up in value e.g. some bass pedals right? But at least these tickets are being sold to someone who actually wants them - will now be illegal for touts and commercial resale sites to scoop up thousands of tickets purely for resale at massive margins. And, sure, I appreciate that it's also illegal to sell cocaine and that doesn't stop the equivalent of ticket touts pushing drugs, so the resale of tickets may simply go underground? But I guess the argument goes if coke were legal, take up would be massively higher i.e. making it illegal reduces the supply and demand?

Welcome! I’m sure you will find a lot of peeps here LOVE details 😂.

Nice pair!
