    You bowed out with style though 👍
  2. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I'm actually quite content that you don't have an opinion. Now if you could just stop having questions as well, that might keep everyone happy 😜.
  3. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I’m kind of getting used to your odd questions, but what I do find annoying is your propensity to post them without including your opinion in the post. Even for you though, this is an odd one. It sounds absurdly materialistic at best.

    Still in despite me almost succumbing to a rather nice amp in the for sale section.
  5. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Just to make sure I’ve understood you….you’re saying any artist shown inducted post 1989 is not worthy?
  6. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Ozzy should be in as a solo artist, no question. As should Foreigner. Cher will be voted in at some point, may as well get it out of the way. Some of the others I really like, but I’m not sure it’s their time yet. Maybe Lenny?

    Yes, me too mate. I get it out of its case occasionally just to look at it. I've played a few USA Spectors and I can't say there's much difference between them and this model. They just got it right with the Euro X.

    Ooh, I might be up for this @Clarky.. I regret selling the one I had. Stoopid move on my part, but I had my eye on something else. Just off to work now. I’ll message you later.

    I don't think that's Larry Klein and I'm fairly sure he wouldn't have come over for TOTP, not for Julia anyway. It's certainly not Pino, so leaves only Alan Thomson or a.n.other?!?

    No need to apologise to us. I suspect Jens Ritter knows more than most about the virtues of a bolt-on neck. Maybe give him a call and tell him he's wasting his time 😎.

    I’m firmly in the 3M Dual Lock camp.

    The real mind-boggler is what do you get that is so much better with a Fender Master Built bass over a ‘standard’ Custom Shop. Given their price point is several thousand pounds above a ‘standard’, I don’t see where that extra value is.

    All in the eyes on the beholder, but to me, that doesn’t look elegant. My eyes want to see those two stripes from the body go all the way up the neck. Instead, there’s a piece of wood of nearly but not quite the same colour, with a single stripe. Plus, that cavity plate 🤮. Not for me, but we’re all different, so I’m glad it works for you. As @Lozz196 and @Reggaebass have said, in my experience, FCS basses are far from two badly bolted together pieces of wood. The ones I’ve had/have definitely are not. I’m not sure I’d go to £5k for one, although the burl top J does look very nice

    I have to say I never noticed the difference between this bass (it used to be mine) and all my other ‘Rays. If I didn’t have others incoming, I’d have it back. It really is a lovely bass. Someone will be very happy.
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Me too. Should be here in time for my birthday, which is handy as Mrs.H has been asking me for weeks what I would like as a present.
  16. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Day off tomorrow then (according to the board) 😂
  17. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Of course, dullness and dislike are both subjective, but I play it in my Queen tribute (obviously) and it's also in my rock covers band set. It never fails to be a great sing-along. It may, however, feel slightly out of place amongst a 90's rock/metal/grunge thing.
  18. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    You might hate it, but I wouldn't describe it as dull. It has some interesting segments in it as recorded, as do most John Deacon bass lines.
  19. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Apologies, typo. I've amended the post to what it should be - 32" scale. It does have a bend-well.
  20. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    St.Albans was the one I would have gone to - had you been there 😎
  21. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Scale is not that important to me, however, I did try a short scale Stingray (one of the Joe Dart ones IIRC - not sure what the scale would have been) in a shop near Shuker HQ once and I really didn’t like it at all. The over-riding factor for me is neck width/depth. My one concession to less than 34” is a 32" scale Status Series 2 five string which I absolutely love.

    Price drop and option for shipping added.
  23. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    I’ll check him out. Just read that he had some involvement with the film Bamboozled which means my ears have crossed paths with his work already.
  24. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Grammy's 🤣. Taylor Swift has 14 of the things. By no means a yardstick of iconic status in my book.
  25. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Is he? I’ve never heard of Questlove.
