I think its one of the nicest Rics I've ever seen and I had to drag myself down the pub so that I didn't go and bid on it

Pulled already..

I wouldn't ordinarily bother to flag up modern guff like this Cockinbutter (no point when you can buy 'em in your local music shop) but this one's worth it for a giggle at the shill-tastic bidding:

Looks like a hard-boiled egg slicer.

Even one of his positive feedbacks says this, "refunded and returned with little fuss".

I love Warwicks, but that design is an abomination.

It's going to stand on it's own tuners....

What genius thought of that?

Fancy doing that to a perfectly good Behringer head

Me too!

I'm probably a bit tighter than Mr Hunt, but as I've bought a very special '88 NT Thumb and a Ltd Edition Bleached Blonde for £750...each obviously...I would have coughed up £600 sight unseen and not even wanting another Thumb.

The 'Buy it Now' option was used within minutes/seconds of it's appearance I'd guess.

As it's referring to frequency (Htz), I don't see that as demeaning...

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='210259' date='May 31 2008, 09:30 PM']Either way - I love the idea of buying in protest.

I can now justify my online pornography subscriptions to my missus.

Sheer genius...

At least half a dozen people, including me, missed that by a few minutes/seconds...

Who else would have bought this?

You don't see many of those around....

What's not to like

We've just been discussing those very basses on binface

Opinions are equally divided, I quite like the 'precision-a-like' it would be great if you were in a C&W group. The sort of thing Billy Ray Cyrus' bass player might own

So..they've added some new knobs, a dent and want 2.5 times as much


Capitalism eh?

Ask your wife about the 'pencil test'

I'm not entirely sure how it applies to basses though....

EBay sale = no profit for poptart

[quote name='Bassassin' post='187646' date='Apr 28 2008, 10:16 PM']Much as I've tried to understand Rickenbacker's attitude towards the sale of copies, and the threat this poses to their trademarks - John Hall has done little to suggest he's anything more than an arrogant, obnoxious & thoroughly unreasonable little man.[/quote]

Despite having passing GAS for a Ricky, I would now rather go without than do anything which might, at any point, be of advantage to Mr Hall. I'm sure his attitude loses more custom than just mine....

Not a member....

How many times does a fella have to ask to have his account deleted????

Sorry about this but it's the only way I'll get any reaction from the bums and stiffs who run this board...

FFS!

Unlike profiteering of course....

I'll have a pint of whatever you're on

Oh, I wouldn't say that

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='172741' date='Apr 8 2008, 11:50 PM']This f*ckin society of ours is turning into me me me.[/quote]

Interestingly...your relatively short post contains:

One 'my'
One 'myself'
Eight 'I'
and two 'me'. That doesn't count the three 'me' in the quote above.

So you must be correct
