  1. I'll update you if that happens...
  2. The Ric strap buttons are single-piece with threaded bolts rather than the more common button with a screw. They fit Schaller Straplocks (I think they may even be made by Schaller?)(as are the Ric machines). There are two folks who are making high quality Ric replicas - I've been contemplating getting a custom build, but I've just bought a Ric barebones body/neck to which I am going to add all non-Ric parts (bar Strap buttons, jack plate, and TRC).
  3. The sofa's alright.
  4. I don't know about value, but I could walk past a Yamaha without even noticing it was there.
  5. Yep - smells as fishy as an old kipper.
  6. He's including the picture of the logo, so he is describing it as a Fender.
  7. The SB1000 was probably the best Japanese bass ever made. I had an SB700 in the 70s/80s.
  8. I picked up a Darkglass Vintage Microtubes a month ago, but it was bloody noisy BUZZZZZZZZZZ!!!! Even with the input muted (at the tuner). So, I took it back out of my pedalboard. I went back to Wunjo and they put it alongside another Darkglass one; with all the knobs turned up full, it buzzed too. So, I got a refund. (Thanks to Wunjo for their great customer service!)
  9. I've got an Aria PE Elite guitar - it's quite nice. OK, so it's not an original 70s PE-1000, but I'll manage to live with the disappointment.
  10. He is, however, including pictures of the Fender logo, which comprises part of the item details.
  11. Too much - I was talking with someone about a white one of those last year, but they wanted more than I wanted to pay.
  12. They keep appearing on the Ugly Guitars fb group.
  13. It was funny, though!
  14. FYI, I've got two of these (each cost me a fiver more than the asking price here); one made an appearance at the recent SE Bass Bash and seemed to be alright.
  15. Not for me, but I guess it's right for somebody...
  16. ebay don't seem inclined to take it down (illegal use of logo, etc.).
  17. That control panel is a bit mediocre, isn't it...
  18. And here it is, the lighter bodied one on the right. The strings are dull as ditchwater though, so I'll be needing a new set ASAP.
  19. My latest pair...
  20. From the description: "Very heavy" Yep...
  21. Oh lawd - at least the previous buyer didn't get diddled then!
  22. Well, I'm off to pick up an alternative one tomorrow evening on the way home from work, but it's cheaper.
