Price or Trade Value : £[s]525[/s] 475 delivered to your door (UK mainland), £450 if you pick up Up for sale is my lovely nitro Olympic White Road worn 60s Strat, only being moved on as it isn't getting the play it deserves. It is ungigged and comes with Tex Mex pickups, an alder body, maple neck and rosewood board and a Fender padded gigbag. It is lovely to hold and play - it feels like it’s been "played in" for you. It also sounds great and, I think, pretty authentic. Condition is flawless as it left the factory Pics are below – the trem is in the gigbag. I would prefer pickup from DN14 (J37 on the M62) where you can also be royally treated with a brew and biscuit! Would also consider trades...

Fab looking bass Sean, tactile like Discreet's. Those inlays are particularly lovely
-
^This! Looks awesome - love it!
-
Is this still up for sale? Trade for a Danelectro Longhorn, which I've just realised has 24 frets D'oh, just seen the "trade pending" - I shall take my place at the back of the queue.
-
Lovely. It just looks so tactile. I don't think I'd know whether I would play it or eat it! I'm getting gaseous rumblings now...

N(SC)BD - one for the Nipponese firewood lovers!

My first too! Happy birthday and enjoy! -
This +1. A great show. Not quite as energetic as the last time I saw them at the Empire Pool as was (1975 I think), but then, neither am I!
-
This bass is about 8 foot long!

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1411909061' post='2563757'] From the guy that put a checkerboard pickguard on a LPB jazz bass. Dude. You have no place to comment on taste here. For the record I believe that the prettiest bass that Gibson made was the more excitingly coloured Thunderbird II instruments in the '60s. [/quote]This is a thing of great loveliness. I really like that retro surf-type look you get with some of the early custom colours
-
That's a lovely looking bass Sean. That pickup position is interesting too. Are those thumb rests between the pup and the neck? Rod

The guy selling this Les Paul DC Bass http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-Les-Paul-Double-Cutaway-Bass-/291278337899?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item43d18ab76b (sorry can't get this to act as a hyperlink) reckons he has a 1976 IBE to sell.
-
I like that. Especially the Gretschish orange.
-
I have the three in my sig...the P is my go to, the Gretsch will get more outings now we have lost our drummer who thought his kit was a piece of artillery, the Dano has been great for chucking in the back of the car and twiddling with on our jolly holidays . A Tbird has been forecast, though there's part of me fancying an EB.

The first player I really admired. Very sad.

When you see what they're prepared to do on their guitars, including Firebirds, it is really quite baffling to the point of being ignorant. But then, perhaps us chrome lovers are too conservative
-
Lovely looking thing! -
Blimey, that's nearly 2 back to back Springsteen shows. Or 8 back to back Ramones shows ! I admire your stamina, but my neck back and elbow (fretting hand side) would complain bitterly.

[quote name='antnee' timestamp='1409651450' post='2541792'] I hope there was some Status Quo esque swaying with your guitarist with the matching V. Awesome build. Any temptations to paint it? [/quote]Brought to mind some UFO-esque chugging there. Very nice job on that sir!
-
Blimey, that is really very nice. I really ought to look at Ricks more.
-
I tend to try and use fingers as I prefer the feel, but use a pick when the speed picks up and the song demands it.
-
Another '57 YOB here too. A thing of great beauty. Just lovely. -
A few off the top... Sailin' Shoes - Little Feat Clear Spot - Cap'n Beefheart Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Blood on the tracks - Bob Dylan On your feet or on your knees - Blue Oyster Cult Hatful of Hollow - The Smiths Full House - J Geils I guess because I played them to death when they came out and they still get the treatment now

Looks good on you Paul and some more pics would be good! The Holy Grail of clank? Rod
