Lovely! When I saw Alan’s Instagram post I thought this might be yours

If you are prepared to carry the 2nd cab the lunch is very tasty though.

Just looking through Geddy’s book and he does have some late 60s and 1970s basses in custom colours but none burgundy mist. Some had matching h/s and some didn’t so I guess it was buyers choice at that point.

Straight to the legendary quotes thread!

Mostly it's to make sales to uninformed bassists that want to "get all the watts out of the amp".

I've been jamming with the guitar player from our last band and we're getting to the point where just guitar and bass with some not-very-good vocals just won't cut it any more. I wish we could find a drummer because we're having lots of fun and playing some good songs.

I was a prop forward. I wasn’t that skinny in the womb!

On the high side? The price is insane. I paid half for my refin 1970...

I have osteoarthritis in the thumb of my fretboard hand. Agony sometimes. I would suggest the Push brace. https://amzn.eu/d/08i7ZUtI It is a bit pricey, but there are cheaper alternatives of the same type . I’ve found the Velpeau to be great. Plus you get spare straps included. https://amzn.eu/d/0582tDuC Cheers. Mike.

I remembered a band who I loved as a young adult and had almost forgotten about, so I'm currently listening to the last album of theirs that I bought. I was a big fan of their earlier, more doom-laden stuff, and I struggled to enjoy this album as much as their earlier records, but listening to it again as a "grown up" I have to say this is superb.

Fender Jazz bass 1969 - burgundy mist https://reverb.com/item/94457176?utm_source=android-app&utm_medium=android-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=94457176 What a poor advertisement. It's priced on the high side, probably because presumably it would have been a custom color at one point. But; custom color would have a white pickguard (and matching headstock) as far as I know!? And even then; it's a refin. The lack of usable pictures is surprising. At this price point, you'd expect some effort.. On the side; I don't understand the premium price dealers ask for an instrument that once had a rare custom finish but has refinished since.

Absolutely stunning mate! The wait is agony isn't it 🥺

Lovely to see another ACG Sona, hopefully I'll have another on order soon. And, said before, but that is a nicest ACG Finn ever.

Dickie Davies Eyes - Half Man Half Biscuit

Met up and bought a Barefaced cab from Nick @castlemaine22, great comms throughout. Pleasure to deal with him. Buy or sell with confidence.

Another delve into my vinyl, and by pure coincidence another 1980 purchase - Sadao Watanabe How's Everything. Anthony Jackson, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Dave Gruisin, Ralph MacDonald, Ricard Tee Jeff Mironov and the Tokyo Philharmonic live at the Budokan. Fabulous 🤩

Lying Eyes - The Eagles

My mate found it in a shop in Callifornia, sent me some pics, the shop was called Urban Guitar Junkies, full of cool parts, I'll ask him if they have a Web etc.
