I’m not convinced 10,000 would sell, but I take your point. Fender are still punting Pino’s out to order, so I guess it could work. It doesn’t seem to be the way of things at EB though. This seems to be more of a Fender Phil Lynott P affair than anything else.

Providing they are confident they can sell all 26, that argument makes no sense. Far easier and economical to make the 26 and rake the cash in from them than say making 52 @ $3,500 each. I do agree though that $7k is a bit much. In fact. I would go as far to say for what you get, it's taking the gypsy's kiss. Don;t get wrong, I'll happily spend $7k, just not on a Stingray.

Always love this song from ‘Interactive”.

I think there is a song with him playing bass on the Rave Un2 the Year 2000 DVD. Wrings it’s neck and throws it (literally) away afterwards. Can’t look for it now cos I’m watching NFL. Yeah, he could play 😜

I presume you've watched this @Spewy?

Me and Gouche are like 🤞. I don't read music either 😂. The man is super solid. Love what he does.

My fault for watching it on eBay, but I’ve had a message from the seller. Apparently, “This is too close to the original so might get wiped from ebay any day, so get it while I can still sell it here... already banned on Reverb!” That day can’t come soon enough IMHO. I note with interest that the price has dropped by £50.

A fairly common reaction. Let's see how long it stays before it gets pulled.

The 12 string that is now a 6 string is excellent 🙄

Fire. Wood.

I think you're being a bit harsh 😂

Search for Ric style bass.

I don't think that prevents a link. I'm happy to proved wrong.

It's not for sale here though is it, therefore, no problem as far as the rules go.

Link?

I don't much care what the MU says, it's not in the spirit of not meeting persons from other households indoors. Local rehearsal space owners seem to be of the same opinion. This quote from one of them makes perfect sense to me.... "We know a lot of our customers are professional musicians, but unless you are actually paid to come to rehearsal, then the announcement is very misleading. We cannot stay open for one or two bands as most people will be locking down. The financial support is there if we close - if we open, we have to survive on our own and we won't last long on three booked sessions a week. The rules are clear - no meeting of any other households indoors. This applies to us and we aren't prepared to risk an outbreak on our premises during lockdown. We also can't risk a £10,000 fine over what is a very grey area - different studios are reading and hearing what suits. We are, once again, being cautious and trying to remain safe as well as making sure we have a business to come back to."

The interpretation around these parts is that unless you get paid to attend rehearsals, which probably excludes most of us here, then you shouldn’t be doing it.

There quite a few on eBay shipping worldwide from Japan. Bit pricey though.

Misaligned strings is the one that gets me. There are some hideous examples in the marketplace on this very forum. G string almost falling off the fretboard etc. Uneven string spacing too.

Yes, Lull’s are excellent. Not a maple board, but if I wanted a red P, then this would be the one for me. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Mike_Lull_PJ4_Fiesta_Red.html

Yes indeed. He took part in a thread on here a while back. No stranger to the Marketplace either.

I can just imagine the queue of £ucking crack head experts lining up out CC to see how much money they could make out of a stolen vintage Fender. Are you for real?
