Nice looking Vantage VP 710b,
This maybe a newbie/daft question but what does OHSC mean please?

Looks like it's melting, wonder if Dali designed it?

Westone seems cheap at £65, only missing the knobs, if only I was in the vicinity...

They should of made it a 3 string bass.

Why would you?.....

A friend of mine has started buying vinyl again.
I gave him a lot of albums /12" I had which I cannot see myself listening to again .
These include ; the groundhogs/ atomic rooster/ ted nugent / hawkwind.
I purchased the deluxe cd box set of hawkwind
Warrior on the edge of time at Christmas .
Tbh , after a few plays I lost the will to listen to it anymore. This being arguably their best album.

I feel that by listening ( and seeing) rammstein opeth etc I'm still not out of touch with what's going on.
I do regret discarding my 7" chart singles in'79 when I first started going to gigs and becoming a headbanger . Having said that I've still got Abbas greatest hits. Gotta get the very early albums now.
As we get older our minds get more mature and we are open to whatever rocks our boat.
Just waiting for the new rammstein /Metallica / tangerine dream /rush

Hoiaka fretless p bass, looks ok but can't find any info on 'Hoiaka' guitars:

I'm guessing it's Hotaka but I can only find acoustic guitars by these and virtually no info.

Its a blue one.

Hahaa, that's how it's listed, 'Spector - Blue'
http://webshop.cashconverters.co.uk/auction-item/747527/spector-blue

Could anyone tell me what model this Spector is please, if they're any good, and worth £99?

The bass has 51 on it but tthe description says 54 - seems a bit odd?
[/quote]
It says hac 54 on the plate, not sure what that's about.

South City Music in Altrincham sold this, definitely the same bass, it's got the piece of marble bartop. fac51 was the project number for the Hacienda:

They get some good, unusual stock in there.

Washburn Force 8, fine looking bass imo:

Not sure if this one's Japcrap, but might as well mention it whilst I'm here, this 25 quid bass was apparently played at Live Aid:

hm. I might take a punt on that, I'll probably be up there late next week. Hmm.

Thanks for posting

You'll never leave if you go up there! If you do go, avoid the 'special stuff' from the butchers.
I can I can't?

Think it's a 1979 model, says something like "Quadra" on the back-plate and "patent pending". I'd seriously consider buying it if it was near me I reckon:

Thanks for the heads up I have been after one of these!

Nice one! Let us know what it's like? Glad someone off here bought it.

There's a refurbished one on ebay usa for 440, including postage, it might be worth a grand to a seriously rich collector, I dunno, looks a bit like a toy guitar to me

Just stumbled across this strange looking guitar, apparently only 200 were made:

Damn pity it's patented, I was just about to rush out n make one for myself, suppose I'll just have to buy this one now...

Surprised this hasn't sold yet, they had a silver one that sold for the same price within days of appearing, maybe it's because this isn't advertised in the bass section, it's hidden away in the guitar section.

That Asama bass is on Gumtree as well and he's only askin for 50 quid, not bad.
