[quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1463062889' post='3048225'] It's an interesting one because I don't really see something as being new unless it's still sealed in its box - musical instruments blur the lines because shops will often take them out to do a set-up which I'm ok with but once it's been out on the shop floor for people to look at/try out then surely it's ex-demo not new? I've had to learn to let it go with music stuff, you've just got to hope n one has touched your stuff with greasy fingers. [/quote]When does a pair of jeans become ex demo? I would imagine we have all tried on a pair of jeans. Who knows if the last person to try them on had clean underwear. If the bass still looks pristine, and still has the cellophane over the pickguard, I would regard that as new personally .

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1463682698' post='3053384'] We're there any reports about Sinead saying anything about Prince and Arsinio Hall? Blue [/quote] Yes. Something on the line that Hall provided drugs to Prince that killed him. So Hall is sueing O'Connor

Crazy Elephant . Gimme Gimmie Some Lovin`. Always reminds me of a summer type song for some reason. [url="https://youtu.be/HUTsfwCbN5I"]http://youtu.be/HUTsfwCbN5I[/url]

I haven't watched it since the one that had Dita Von Teese on some song. Can't remember the year

It wasn`t too bad. I liked the youtube comment saying , new theme tune for the remake of Dogtanian 2016

It would actually be nice for me too hear the someone who is good play my bass. I want to hear what it sounds like in capable hands

The photos are the important descriptor in this case I feel. If there were no photos of the scratches, then it would be disingenuine

I don't think I have ever heard anything of his I really like. I do enjoy watching the video of When My Guitar Gently Weeps. He was certainly a fine musician. He really does get his guitar weeping.

I always find it hard to have principles. If you like the Bass, and it is a good price, then it is always hard for me too cut of my nose to spite my face, so too speak. I can understand it if you feel that strongly, but I would rather give him the money than some box shifters. My first visit he seemed a bit schizophrenic, in that he could be a bit short with you if you ask the `wrong` question then give some great advice and be really helpful. I came away very happy with my purchase and overall experience

It is like any gear. Do you need a Ferrarri when a Fiat will do? It is up too you to decide what you want to buy. I would be surprised to see a Ritter bass at the pub, but if that is what they want to play, then it is a good enough reason for me.My bass is far too good for me, but I bought it too learn on and grow with me.

[quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1462218537' post='3041249'] I have one bass and intend to buy another bass every year for the rest of my life, without selling any. Just don't tell the missus... [/quote]Unless you live in a mansion, I think you might get away with it for maybe 3 years, but it would get harder

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will be there. I haven`t got much in the way of exciting stuff. I will just bring my left handed Clover Avenger. I will probably have my PJB bighead so I can play without disturbing anyone

I will never sell my Clover Avenger. It just sounds so much better than my Warwick Streamer. I would sell that one

I guess Purple Rain is easy to incorporate into a solo. David Gilmour did a good tribute incorporating it into the solo of Comfortably numb

Never really liked his music, but he was one hell of a great guitarist. It is sad news. Interestingly, there was an article on, I think, the BBC. It went on too say that there are seemingly more deaths because of the way celebrity has come about. Before the 50`s, the celebrities were film stars, but since the rise of pop music,and TV there are so many celebrities in their 60`s plus, so it is inevitable that it just seems more. If you think that people like David Gest had celebrity status, then it is no wonder there seems so many

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1461001616' post='3030553'] Not my generation, never been a fan.Never considered him as a big league player. Flea is not and has never been in the same league as a McCartney, Stanley Clark, Larry Grahm, Rocco Prestia, Chuck Rainy or Willie Weeks etc... I thought it was embarrassing. To his defense it's not a very good vehicle for bass guitar Blue [/quote]i would imagine he is a lot more famous than all of those bar McCartney

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1461030705' post='3030814'] Were not far apart on this one. I am the worlds biggest Macca fan. I play a Hofner Club bass because of the look, but I don't sound like Paul. I wish 😄. Interesting that Paul has no business ties with Hofner, never has. Yet one could say any Hofner violin style bass is Macca Signature.Paul put Hofner in the real big business arena as far as I'm concerned. Blue [/quote] I was talking to a Hofner rep, and he said they sell more left handed basses than right, and the vast majority are hung on walls.

It is hard to criticise as he has earned the right to be there. Pity he didn`t make a better go at it. I suppose it could`ve sounded so much better in a studio than a big space, so didn`t translate the sound as well.

I have fancied owning a Warwick Stuart Zender. I have never seen one, but I like the way the neck joins the body, so it is easy to get at all the frets

I guess you don`t get the amount of work he gets without being a special type of player

Well done Mr Lardy.

I have tickets for Lionel Ritchie in July. Not really my cup of tea, but he is local, and a legend, so thought i better see him while I have the chance

I assume you could expect anyone not in the list above Meg White is a bit controversial. Ric Lee from Ten Years After deserves at least a top 75 in my opinion, and not mentioned

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1459712074' post='3018893'] Hmm... Meg White is listed, but not Spencer Dryden..? Hmm... [/quote] I would imagine it is best to go before you realise Meg White is rated better.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1459337546' post='3015530'] My question about the bass is that I have a good idea who the bass player is and the use of a certain bass and colour would confirm that information. [/quote]That is the sort of detective work I like to see
