Gives me an idea for an ebay auction

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1006210' date='Oct 30 2010, 11:19 AM']Thanks Noel, that's fascinating stuff & some very persuasive ideas. Don't suppose you have any catalogues or promo literature? I'd love to see some pics of the Matsuoka-made Shiros. Would you think a Matsuoka/Cimar connection had any credence?

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1005955' date='Oct 30 2010, 01:07 AM']I've just got the one atm, but seriously tempted to get a lightweight rig too for practices and small gigs. My current rig is my dream rig, it's just a royal PITA to lug a 1kw head and a 4x10 to practices, very tempting to get a micro head and 2 small cabs (maybe 2 neo 1x12s). Please just tell me I'm being stupid and I only need one amp.

So far, no reply to my emails from the seller. Steve[/quote] For tis but a windup

Took delivery of a rather splendid Mesa Walkabout Scout today from The Burpster,real nice fella who helped out big time in bringing it down to me... 101% delighted..even chucked in a spare valve set that was free....how bads that?? Spot on would buy from without hesitation. Thanks Tony

If you could read (the description), it might have dawned on you that I'm not saying it's an Ibanez 4003 - I don't think they made one. It is a copy of a Rickenbacker 4003 made by an unknown manufacturer. It has certain features which led me to believe that it could possibly be by made by the aforesaid company - but I don't know - which is why I asked in the listing for potential bidders to make their own mind up what it is. Please DO NOT bid on my guitar if you have any doubts about what you are buying. It is not a Rickenbacker - it may be a Japanese copy of one - I DON'T KNOW. If you think it's 'chancy' - that's what's so good about Ebay - it's not compulsory to bid! Thank you, Graham - grahamtosca Well that told me....It told me hes being liberal with the facts Possibly Im not bidding then[/quote] Just spoke on the phone to with the seller he comes across as a real nice fella.He was sold this as an Ibanez over 10 years ago by a guitar shop,he is revising the ad to state that he has been made aware it is probably not an Ibanez... So I must apologise to the chap, Had a listen to his sound clip....not bad

[quote name='TheGreek' post='1005479' date='Oct 29 2010, 05:13 PM']I was made redundant recently and have some money tucked away which is earning me 0.5% interest currently. I was thinking that it may be better invested by buying something and tucking it away for a few years. I did this recently with a Wal but this didn't go as well as I'd liked - I'm convinced I paid too much..so I'm looking at other potential purchases. The obvious answer would be to buy the oldest Fender I could afford and stick it in the loft. However since collectable Fenders are already expensive I was wondering what others would buy and tuck away as an investment.[/quote] Dont hang me BUT A bas is not you best bet A nice early 70's LP custom is going to appreciate faster than a 70's Fender bass...................and its a buyers market....especialy if you are willing to import from the States.. Just bought a 1934 Gretsch acoustic in VGC with original hardcase...USA $900.......whats it worth in the UK...possibly double and a bit A 66 Mosrite for $600 again in fine condition......these make silly money here....Why I have no Idea Gibbos are a Safe bet.....can I sell you one maybe????lol

You pays yer money yer makes your choice. Is it really wrong for a fella to try to make a few quid????? It s him or cash corrupters...... Dont see the problem REALLY

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1001598' date='Oct 26 2010, 07:36 PM']You could do a Francis rossi and drill a hole through the body and lock it through there? And those who bought the Ibanez Steve Vai signature with the grab handle can too save $49 and just use a normal bike lock![/quote] I take it we do not expect them to be of mass appeal then?? Why not just entrust your instrument to one of your road crew....if he loses it he loses his livelihood....I shall be selling this idea (pat pend) for £19.99 and if you buy now with a credit card I will also include a free invisibiliser,will deter the theif ....but requires the user to have a good memory

I'll update the post when I get cutting wood over Xmas holidays... Plans done to scale on cad so I can print out and use as a template. I think it's gonna look cool especially as I'm now playing in a big country and western band.....
