  1. Welcome to Basschat Rich, have fun John
  2. [quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1391513787' post='2357889'] Think that is a 460 Series with a Padauk top. Very nice. Edit; Not sure why he's described it as a 5-string though, it clearly only has 4! [/quote] School boy error LOL John
  3. The singer/songwriter Neil ivison from one of my favourite bands 'The Misers' is trying to trace his first ever guitar which was stolen/lost in 2004 !, see a copy from his fabebook post below, if people could spread the word he would be grateful, thanks people [quote][color=#37404E]Here's hoping the good people of Facebook can help solve a mystery. This 1994 American Standard Strat was my first 'proper' guitar which my dad bought me new and I paid him back over 2 years, working any old job I could find. It was my prid[/color][color=#37404E]e and joy and main guitar until it went missing after a tour in 2004. I'm not sure if it was left behind at a gig (unlikely) or stolen while we were loading the van. But when we came to unload the gear, it was missing. I believe this happened either in the South Wales or Worcestershire area but I appreciate that it could be anywhere in the world now. I've always missed it, more sentimental value than monetary.[/color] [color=#37404E]The guitar is a 1994 Fender American Standard Stratocaster in Caribbean Mist. It was already well used with plenty of dings. Distinguishing features are that the neck lacquer had started pealing on the neck so the fretboard had been quickly refinished with an amber boat lacquer (!) so the fretboard will be glossy while the back of the neck will be satin. There is a 40th anniversary plaque on the headstock and also an engraved neck plate. The top strap button had broken off and a new one screwed in beside it. It probably also has NI or HR7 4SG scratched into the trem cavity. The tone knob is not original and a cheap replacement. It was in an old wooden rectangle case and not the fender Flightcase. It is a very distinctive guitar due to all the 'on the road' repairs! If anyone has this guitar in their possession, knows where it might be or has bought it in good faith, I'd be very interested in working out a deal to get it back, no questions asked.[/color] [color=#37404E]Please share this post and let's see if Facebook can reunite us!
