There are a lot of bids so it looks like we're not the only ones with an interest in this one!

Where have all the Eggle basses gone? You don't see many for sale nowadays but there must be a lot still out there somewhere. When i used to visit Project Music on the Great West Road in the early 90s the place was full of Eggle guitars and basses.

I'm going to buy either a mid 1980s Japanese 'E' Series(?) MIJ Squier Strat or a late 80s/early 90s MIK version. These models seem to be reasonably good value. Just wondered if the MIJ version is worth £100+ more than the MIK version.
I'm just looking for a simple functional strat for the occasional strum.
Any info or opinions much appreciated. -

I prefer the standard Mustang without the Pawn shop amendments.

I've been wanting one of these for a little while now, and lets just say I'm getting one as soon as they come out provided I've got the cash!
Thank you Fender!!

Leave the world of bass? There is no world without bass.

This seems the most popular colour. Plenty of dealers seem to have the Black or Sunburst one but not Candy Apple Red. It looks good, especially with the matching headstock. -
There seems to be a lot of Sunburst & Black Bass VI around. Candy Apple Red seems to be a bit elusive!

I see that these are due from Fender in 2013. Anyone seen or heard anything about these?

I wonder what it's 'former glory' was?

Replace it. That's my suggestion. Keep the original somewhere but I doubt it can be invisibly repaired to be honest.

I took the pickguard off when in bought the bass 20+ years ago and it hasn't been on since. It's just such a neat break that when you put the two pieces together you can hardly see the join (as Eric Morcambe would say) and looks as though it could be repaired but maybe it's best left alone -
Still for sale

There is a bit about the prices asked for Shergold Guitars and Basses on www.shergold.co.uk

I've broken the (white) pickguard on my 1974 Fender Jazz Bass just above the neck pickup. It's one clean break. I don't know whether to just have a go at repairing it myself or take it to someone who (hopefully) knows what they are doing.
Any suggestions much appreciated. -
I've been looking for a Marathon or Modulator (both would be nice) and this one has been on ebay for some time now and is a lot more than i would want to pay.

I pretty sure that not everyone is skint. I just have to walk down my road and see all the new BMWs, Porsche etc to remind me of the fact.
