La Mer - Charles Trenet

Jump - lots of people

I expect most of the 70s "dogs" have been worked on and the issues they left the factory with have been addressed and resolved. TBH they should never have left the factory - affected the Fender reputation and left the door open for other manufacturers to get their foot in the door. Not sure but I'd hazard that this was the time when smaller, independent builders came into their own .

Decreased?

Very nice...you need to send it to me for safe keeping - it's an uncertain world, as Storm Babet is demonstrating, I'm as honest as the day is long. Don't worry about it being dark outside. 😉😉

Not true...they were poisoned with an overdose of Humus - anybody who has ever tasted it knows it tastes like medicine. 🤢🤢🤮🤮

Turn, turn, turn - The Byrds

..and there was me thinking it had to do with being naked..

No it isn't. If I buy a vintage Fender for £500 is that it's value or it's price? If I sell it the following day for 10 times as much how did the value suddenly jump 10x? I'm fed up hearing "it's worth what it sells for " - never heard of a bargain or being overcharged?

Another brand that look well made but not recognised as a quality marque. I look at the neck through models and think "they would be a good first bass".

Hanging on the telephone - Blondie

I'm in a similar situation with nearly 20 basses and 4 or 5 complete rigs - not gigging so really don't need most of it. Selling at the moment is hard work unless you want to sell for well below the true value.

Replacement truss? That sounds painful...

Wood Beez - Scritti Polliti

Just been browsing the Basses for sale thread. There are some amazing basses for sale currently, in fact if you walked into a shop and found that range of quality basses you wouldn't stop talking about it. I've got a few favourites but no free cash.

I remember Aria being well respected when I started playing in the mid 80s. No idea why this isn't as true today.

Why don't they sell 5 string sets?

Thanks for this. I'm looking for a set of tapes/ flats for my 33" Chyla with little success. I was considering some Olympics but tension and feel are important to me.
