Judging by this photograph, I reckon they've mistakenly written "formally" rather than "formal" :D

Not affiliated but this would be totally killer!

Only $7000 and this is written so enticingly how does anyone resist? "The day of the recording session will be chosen by the Rocco camp: All travel, lodging, food, tax and any other expenses are the sole responsibility of the receiver of the invitation. Rocco is excited to welcome you as an honored guest however, recording of any kind is strictly forbidden: Any attempt to do so will result in termination of this invitation. Rocco, nor any of his team will be responsible for any expenses lost. By accepting the invitation, you agree to the terms."

£600 - total bargain for this head.

...I wonder if I'd be able to guess who that tutor is...

I went from a 4-string to a 6-string after a lot of research, back and forth, worry about the additional strings, etc., etc. and many conversations with @ambient. This was 2015/16 and now I'm down to just one bass - a 6-string. Ultimately it's been fine. You just adapt and get used to it. Never say never but I can't see myself moving away from a 6-string now.

The Serek basses get incredible feedback don't they. And I've fancied an Elrick for quite sometime myself too. Which do you prefer so far?

When people like this contact me, I respond with something like "To you, £400." - I acknowledge it's childish but it makes me feel a little bit better that I've at least been able to waste some of their time.

In return for a 2014 custom Fodera 6 Elite 6-string I had, some clown here offered me the pick of 3 basses from a selection of 4 he had - 2 US Standard Precision basses, 1 US Standard Jazz and a G&L L-2000. I think a lot of chancers think you're super desperate to sell/trade or they think you're actually really dumb.

Played at Servant Jazz Quarters in London last night with the wonderful talents of @Steve Lawson and Tom Herbert. It was a really great evening of goodwill with fantastic music spent with the nicest people at a fantastic venue.

I think so too. Thanks a lot.

Yes, Barnes & Mullins - I've dealt with them myself and they're a waste of space frankly.

No. And I only have one left now FYI.

A 6-string Rickenbacker rip-off for £7000! Incredible. I reckon they'd be amazingly fortunate to get anywhere close to £1000 for that thing.
