[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1377675366' post='2190077'] True, and the American Vintage series were fine instruments. But you don't turn round a culture of almost two decades of cost cutting overnight, and Fender were putting out some rather bizarre instruments around that period. I think it would be wise to try any Fender from this period before buying, but then again that's true of most basses. [/quote] would that be around the time this monstrous paint job escaped from the factory?

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1377633250' post='2189757'] There are many hidden Steve's on here. It might be the most popular name for bassists. Oh yes. [/quote] its an age thing old chap

there are plenty of artists who do not write and are very memorable there are artists who write who really deserve more recognition (paul brady for instance) conversely there are many writers who are amazing but never get anywhere near the limelight and can still walk down cleethorpes high street unrecognised even after penning some of the most memorable tunes of the past 30 years

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1377525660' post='2188451'] To my ears Foderas sound very similar to jazz basses! [/quote] [quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1377529444' post='2188503'] But not quite as good. [/quote] +1 didnt that recent thread with the vid clip comparing loads of different J's and J types have a (dull sounding) fodera in it? for people who want to buy as an investment i would suggest that they are loaded and are just happy to spend money on shiny toys . at one end of th espectrum they may be used regulalrly for gigging and become extremley roadworn! at the other end of the spectrum they may just end up hanging on the wall like some hipster equivalent of a chav samurai sword is investment a possible misnomer? how about replace investment with indulgence? not for one minute going to criticise people for indulging just suggesting it as a possible alternative descriptor. if youve worked and earned your dosh or inherited it doesnt matter just buy it and enjoy it and indulge yourself only you can answer your own questions as to whether you feel youve earned or deserve it - if you can afford to buy like this it begs the question that you probably have enough dosh that you have your 'real investments' elsewhere an example... Chris Evans and his ferrari collection ... is it an investment or indulgence? nobody would doubt that these cars hold and increase their value but to a man with his sort of personal wealth is this an investment or indulgence? an investor would likely put them in a garage/showroom and enjoy them as a static display and not put them anywhere near any risk of damage whatsoever. an enthusiast with a passion for them would indulge and use them as he does regularly. is he an investor or an indulger??

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1377527018' post='2188466'] I don't think she'll ever crossover to having mass popular appeal. [/quote] good old popular appeal shall we vote for the lovely Esperanza or wait for the next heap of talentless dross served up by simon scowell (he is jolly good at mass popular appeal after all)

[quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1377449962' post='2187677'] Hmmm, good point. lol Well, there are a few "jazzy" moments, then again, who's doing anything new in jazz on an electric? [/quote] [url="http://youtu.be/2aRC3YY3svs"]http://youtu.be/2aRC3YY3svs[/url]

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1377344667' post='2186492'] Doesnt feel like this signals the death knell of the high end business [/quote] come to medway towns loads of students - plenty of young bands - some of them exceptionally good - none of them playing boutique gear Squier rules!!

[quote name='Ziphoblat' timestamp='1377289897' post='2185997'] My singer once did this and rolled up toilet paper and put it in his ears. Didn't seem like a good idea at the time; he ended up in A&E 'cause it wouldn't come out. [/quote] hope he hadnt used it first

just bought gigbag off Iain - vgc and monster bargain

[quote name='jabrantl' timestamp='1377179942' post='2184403'] electric player of about 12 years' standing [/quote] well you better have a sit down and a nice cup of tea then

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1377251022' post='2185250'] Quality of beard? Poor/clearly just started shaving/f***ing hipster --> Probably just bought the Jazz because someone convinced them it was "boutique" and/or looks less "mainstream" than a P (or something, I don't know how these pillocks think). Can't actually play the damn thing; too busy posing and looking "ironic" with it. [/quote] i just LOLd

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1377163249' post='2184060'] I believe the usual form is to carry a rolled up copy of BGM, and do the 'special' hand signal. [/quote] Slapping the invisible kingbass ?
