    After 28 votes, 50% of BC'ers polled own 5 or more basses. Blimey, I was guessing there would be a skew between people owning 1-3 basses and those with humungous collections

    [quote name='Marvin' post='937625' date='Aug 26 2010, 10:31 PM']Just the one for me. I can't play really, so any more would be sheer extravagance[/quote] I'm rubbish but it hasn't stopped me going to town!

    [quote name='BigRedX' post='937615' date='Aug 26 2010, 10:22 PM']More than 10 and heading towards cetera and DotB territory - although not as fast as I was...[/quote] And I'm going to take a wild guess that none of them are Fenders, BigRedX

    I am sure this has been asked but I don't remember a poll - and I do love a poll Let me start, I have four (excluding the DB, which doesn't really count as its more an attractive ornament than an instrument, the little it ever gets played). In fact, let me re-phrase to "how many electric basses do you own?" ...

    Just sold Martin (aka martin8708) a '75 Jazz bass. He was very friendly on the phone and paid super-fast. Another recommended BC'er

    [quote name='silddx' post='937121' date='Aug 26 2010, 01:38 PM']I'm thinking of starting a "For the Alex Van Halen Detractors". Why is he a crap drummer. I think he's a good drummer, he played all the right things on the VH albums, and he holds time well enough. What's the problem with him?[/quote] I for one would never pick a fight with him

    and there's always the Lakland Duck Dunn, for a high quality Fender-alike P with Jazz neck and block markers

    [quote name='dougal' post='936007' date='Aug 25 2010, 02:28 PM']If you want tenuous - I can do tenuous! My H&K basebass 600 was owned by a member of the prodigy, and then given to a roadie, who sold it to me.[/quote] and Keith from The Prodigy uses the same drycleaner as me which means that we must be related

    His bass playing in early Police was good and memorable (everyone plays Walking On The Moon, don't they, while noodling?) However the only solo album of his I liked (Dream of the Blue Turtles) featured Darryl Jones on bass!

    My house is empty on a Monday night* and I keep my rubber corset in the right hand drawer by my bed * thats when we practice (voted) - always ensures I am cream-crackered for work by Tuesday, bearing in mind my alarm goes off at 5.30am

    [quote name='Bilbo' post='934955' date='Aug 24 2010, 04:20 PM']I like her two fingers per fret technique as well (last photo where she is holding the neck of the bass). That'll cut out all those extraneous notes.[/quote] Obviously learned the technique on a DB, getting reinforcement by using two fingers per note.

    [quote name='farmer61' post='934647' date='Aug 24 2010, 12:14 PM']Are you quite sure...........? [/quote] Well thats the value of what I have (Alleva £2.6k, 72P £1.8k, Alembic £1.2k, CIJ P £300-ish) Its not the value of what I have traded, thats for sure

    [quote name='Stag' post='934561' date='Aug 24 2010, 10:55 AM']not surprising that this went at a very attractive price! One happy new owner, certainly...[/quote] It is/was a great price but, as you all know (and there was a thread about this recently), its a pretty tough market for sellers at the moment The sale is not done and dusted yet but, assuming all well, the new owner will indeed be a happy bunny as its a slick-playing, great-sounding jazz with more than a few Irish stories to tell! And the sale helps me out no end with El taxman so everybody is happy (well I'm not happy about the tax bill but you know what I mean)

    Neck must have ended up like a banana!

    Sale pending

    Bump for those who did not spot £100 (final) price cut yesterday

    Hey, I (sort of) made the cover of BGM!
  21. Clarky
    Not including FS '75 Jazz, its between £5-6k for me I don't feel bad about it given how much Mrs C has spent on shoes and handbags

    [quote name='dr1' post='933602' date='Aug 23 2010, 01:18 PM']isn't great to have threads like this. showing respect and friendship to each others. cheers![/quote] Steely Dan are not as good as Level 42 and Nigel silddx smells of elderberries Fixed

    I need to sell this so, cutting to the chase, my [u][b]final[/b][/u] price is £1400 including delivery. Can't say fairer than that. If it doesn't sell for this I will have to store it away for a better time to sell and find the tax money elsewhere

    The return of my eldest from three weeks travel, ending up at Pukkelpop festival in Belgium, meant I couldn't attend. Sounds like I missed a corker - hope to make the gig in January!
