Van Halen II  on cassette tape  on a little stereo cassette player from Lidl. My component system one broke

Ooh and that album by John schofield , however you spell it. The cover has a city rooftops themed type picture at night and I think there’s a song on it called watch out for popo .

also fat alberts rotunda and similar herbie Hancock type stuff 

These albums . Van Halen I  Van Halen II and fair warning . I think VH II and fair warning have the edge on summeryness.

who’s the boss album by mick jagger too.

That’s awesome, I remember Vito Bratta of white lion playing one

Hi all, finally got round to listing this . A few years ago I decided to start a project making a bass with a tele neck like billy Sheehan’s . I ordered a vintage modified precision bass  and a tele neck . The new neck was removed and stored in a box. Like a lot of projects it never got finished and I parted out some of the stuff on here last year . All I have left is the neck and now I have a box and cardboard to pack it in. 

It is in mint condition  i am asking £90 or best offer. I am assuming that seeing as it came off a vintage modified it will fit most Fender precision’s . I have held off taping up the cardboard yet so I may be able to measure bits if you tell me .  buyer to pay postage costs. Once it’s bought I will wrap it up and get a postage cost . I have no idea how much it will be. I’m estimating about a tenner.  

I think it’s a fair price someone advised me on here. I did say I was going to donate 10 % for advertising but I had to pay £7 so I think that covers it and hope it keeps this board going.. I play guitar but I love to read stuff on here.

i am not very knowledgeable on if it will fit, dimensions etc, but I will be glad to help with any questions . 

It will be well packed i have cut up an Epiphone Les Paul guitar box and will wrap it in bubble wrap too. I usually use ups for guitars but I think this will be ok via Royal Mail 

Thanks .....Paul 

That’s an epic fail. I remember phoning a skateboard shop in about 2001 asking if I could pay by cash or postal order and they said they didn’t have facilities to deal with that. I didnt get a credit card til about 2003

My mindset from the old days is .... if I am a fan I must have it  on vinyl ,cassette, cd , 8 track whatever it stems from the old days when it was important to your status to own the music you loved along with accruing knowledge of said band, record etc.  I remember when skyscraper by David Lee Roth came out and beast from the east by Dokken , a lad who worked in the video shop next door leant me the cassettes , and I had to copy them til I could buy the vinyl, I still play them all the time now. It was evangelical too if you had something good you had to share it, unfortunately , I had to stop this practice to all but the most trusted of trusted after loosing too many records.

That’s awful what happened to your friend, I am pleased he is getting his guitar back , £60 quid is a bit steep but it was a funny situation to be in, private swap’s are a bit of a grey area, the only other option would be to make a damn nuisance of yourself til he got fed up and swapped back . There are some very dodgy people on Facebook , gumtree is bad enough . A guy I know lost a few hundred buying a drone off a Facebook dealer when it’s a lot safer to buy on eBay. So pleased he is getting his chapman back though , it was a hard lesson.

Guns n roses, Van Halen , Rolling Stones and Aerosmith all did great albums long past then

Hi I bought a vintage modified Pbass by squier from GAK 9th June 2014 for a project which never got finished.
The pickguard was removed straight away and has been kept in a cardboard envelope since.

It looks like it has a few scratches but it could just be on the protective film. Can send pics if you pm me your email
I have the chrome knobs for the pots too.

Picture of the hb 35. Behind my les Paul, sorry if it's wrong way round

Well funny story, it was very well made , brilliantly packed , neck pickup sounds amazing , bridge so so, for some reason, I just couldn't bond with it that sounds super weird, it's an instrument right, but I just couldn't feel anything for it, it played ok, just left me cold, not snobbish because it's a HB , my les Paul's are only epiphones , there was just nothing there!!!! I've wanted one for ages as I like guns n roses , stones and Aerosmith. And izzy, Keith, and joe play 335 type guitars and I always thought it would be cool to have one, but as it sat on the stand after playing, I knew I would pick up my les Paul's first , so I took advantage of thomann 30 day money back guarantee, they have sent me a free postage label and all I have to do now is cart it to the post office.

If you are interested in one they are brilliantly made, well mine was, well packed , good delivery and tracking and infinitely moddable, I planned to put a poker chip round my rhythm / lead switch have it all set up proper and even put some tonerider pickups in etc , perhaps I don't need it with having 2 les Paul's , anyway that's the whole sorry story, hope this is of some value or interest

Got my first Harley Benton a 335 looking hb 35 in black, was opened and played by my friend to check it out as I wanted to save for my birthday. Sounded good through my 8240 valvestate , can't wait to get my hands on it tomorrow .

Gumtree so far but planning to sell on eBay , so have posted a thread on off topic forum for advice on couriers etc, I have sold a few on gumtree which is cool, although you do get time wasters lol.

I had to look them both up , I would defo have a night with rita ora, dont care for that bass, would sooner have a squier p copy

In reply to the person 2ith a band called spidabyte, there is a band called spiderbait who did a cover of black betty by ram jam, I think its on the ghostrider film soundtrack

I only read this thread in hope of smutty comments or a titillating picture
