[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1487528310' post='3240487'] Well, the review by Neville Marten which is transcribed on the Wilkes web page (the review I was thinking of) is dated July 1985. Which does suggest that page has been hanging around for about a decade! [/quote] Then that makes Wilkes sliding pup gits were built in the 70's ... so he was up there with Armstrong Alembic and Gibson. !!

One can get banned for cynicism and sarcasm, with any luck

[quote name='mateusz' timestamp='1487504870' post='3240230'] deceived me 1050 euros .. now no contact. Tomorrow notify police [/quote] I'll await your call

Of course it does. Thats why i posted this thread...whats your point ?

What has evryone got against the Germans ? Forgive and forget, peeps

Now try a 70's haircut ... go on

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1487476069' post='3240075'] I wish they'd given it to a better player to demonstrate. [/quote] You, perhaps ?

According to the Wilkes site, the Answer first came out 20 years ago, assuming that the current Wilkes web pages are not actually 10 years old The Rail bass was featured in a mag in '84 , but i've just remembered that the Gibson Grabber was around in the mis 70's

brilliant

A knighthood ? Sir Skank of Wiltshire on Sea

Oh hang on, the auction's finished. I wonder if he was able to read my message, or maybe the auction ran its course and no one fell for it ?

He must be able to read though ? I mean, it doesnt say Fender or Straocaster on the guitar anywhere.

I know the moving pups thing isnt new. Anyone remember the Westone Rail Bass ? Even Westone probably didnt come up with idea, but nevertheless, its a concept i really like I do think the Westone idea of the 2 big chrome rails looks kinda more aesthetically pleasing than the large empty hole of this Framus/ Warwick Starbass, but whatever, the idea appeals to me.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1487287343' post='3238748'] What if a minority doesn't want to be represented? You can't [i]make[/i] people do ballet if they'd rather be doing something else. Or what if there is a [i]higher[/i] than 'average' representation of any particular minority group within any particular activity, say, for example, Welsh people performing at Eisteddfods? Should there be fewer Welsh performers there? And - if so - who's going to decide which Welsh people will have to pack up and go home? And who's going to tell them? And will they tell them in Welsh? Because if they tell them to go home in English someone will kick up a stink and shout something like 'That's "[i]Mynd adref chi bobl mewn rhesi 1 drwy 21[/i]" you English c**t!' even if the person doing the asking is themselves Welsh but can't speak Welsh, which is another oppressed sub-group actually but let's not get into that otherwise we'll have Plaid Cymru druids out the ying-yang for days on end, banging on about the threat to indigenous culture and Tom Jones. So basically f**king pointless, really. [color=#ffffe0].[/color] [/quote] On the button Skank Thats because of the festeringly annoying F%55%ing PC brigade that now infiltrate every aspect / permeate everyone's lives. I don't care what colour, sex or creed they are. But they're out there in all forms, trying to correct the most miniscule aspects in life, to be right & fair. Life will never be those things. Ever.

To elaborate a tad, i was sniggering at the bloke himself, and the need to wear a lab technicians coat.

He doesnt pay much attention to his auctions, does he.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Stratocaster-Vintage-Reissue-And-Fender-Amp-/232237570585?

Ouch indeed. Just wait till you have a BBQ this summer, Greek

No dogs ? Then no gig. Move along folks - nothing to see here

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1487191633' post='3237999'] That's them. They were from the Watford area and I saw them loads of times. It was about the nearest you'd get to seeing Zappa in a pub. The rest of the guys were equally talented, Ted Emmett, Lyndon J Connah, Tam Neill. The bassist, Andy Crawford, was fantastic too, but no longer plays. Jakko plays with King Crimson now, btw. [/quote] Oh, yes ...even back then they were damn good. Jakko was the font man wasn't he ? I remember him being a bit of a comedian - great live band Thanks for the info Moon. Didnt know he was with KC now

Oh dear ... why I didnt see any basses either

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1487148441' post='3237427'] 64 Spoons [/quote] Thats a strange name .. oddly enough i saw a band back in the 80's or was it the 70's, called the 64 spoons , downstairs in The Corn Dolly, Oxford . He didnt know it back then but the gitwrist would later play with Level 42 .. bloke by the name of Jakko Jakszyk

Steely Dan hmm.. Or Brand X
