  1. [quote name='ednaplate' post='576921' date='Aug 21 2009, 05:47 PM']Something like that in crack converters???? Methinks the owner may like it back at some point.[/quote] He may have pawned it and never renewed the ticket - I wonder if the dolphin (see other thread) was out the same van...er.... I mean off the same guy? BB
  2. Pardon my ignorance, but what does it do? And why are they so sought after? BB
  3. Mine is identical but has gold hardware (which i hate) and the usual mecs (so its not identical really ) BB
  4. And another...... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Warwick-Dolphin-Pro-I-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ190329968145QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item2c508cd611&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]Here[/url] BB
  5. This just went up on eBay. I wonder how much they gave the poor sod? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wal-Fretless-Bass-Guitar_W0QQitemZ190329992306QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item2c508d3472&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]TryingAgain[/url] BB
  6. Yes, I think he's talking to us! BB
  7. Cheers WoT, This is in your part of the world ( ie The Centre of the Universe) is this yours or someone you know? I figured this one was genuine as it had all the case candy etc but I just know Feck all about Fenders - subconsciously or not i have avoided them over the years. have a couple of nice Jazz clones (status/levinson) but this is tasty without being silly money of a new one (so far) BB
  8. [quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='576362' date='Aug 21 2009, 08:47 AM']His finger-style is often overlooked[/quote] Not in this case it wasn't , it was right up there mining nosegold! BB
  9. a nice little watch list on EBay with 7 dream basses!!! I need 6 balls!!!! Anyway this is one, and stands currently at less than half shop price, but if a reliced fender is effectively a legal 'fake' how do you know a fake 'fake' from a genuine fake, if u know what i mean?

  10. Music-outlet is always very expensive - they used to have a lot of stuff on UK eBay but not so much these days. The Gumtree one is only 15 minutes drive from me and, if I didn't have other fish to fry, I would have at least gone to try it. I am trying to stick to Brit basses (fell by the wayside with a Levinson blade recently but only £200 so I couldn't resist) so that is keeping me from going for this one. Your Encyclopedia is a Godsend, Jan, but does my GAS no good at all. BB
  11. Hearing 'Alright now' by Free first made me aware of Bass as an indiviual instrument Then JPJ and Chis Squire got me actually playing. The rest, as they say. is history......... BB
  12. If this is the one from your feeler thread then I want it but i know I cant afford it BB
  13. I have trouble with the search function but i think A) I am not using it correctly and A) typing in the word Fender tends to return rather a lot of threads............ BB
  14. Not a short scale player but probably should be being a bit on the titchy side - is it a 30" or a 32" BB
  15. Yeah, i wondered what had happened to him - was actually looking at his website last night- he is an excellent photographer! Had a lovely pair of 70's Fenders if I remember rightly. Well hope your doing ok,mate (if ur reading this) looking forward to more girl/guitar pics from you! BB
  16. [quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='575301' date='Aug 20 2009, 11:21 AM']I f***ing love picking my nose. I'd say its almost my favourite pastime. If I stick my finger up there and there's an especially juicy specimen up there, I like to leave it up there and just fondle it occasionally. My missus pulled out a bogey the other day when I was driving and it had a hair through it which she proceeded to wave in front of my face. I was jealous as f***.[/quote] Something tells me you aren't kidding BB
  17. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='575318' date='Aug 20 2009, 11:34 AM']I saw him playing stick in the early '90s. Please don't ask me what band they were opening for. [/quote] Hmmmm................OK, I wont. Not a man i would have ever associated with ye olde stick. BB
  18. Looks nice! And a great price to get someone into genuine vintage Fender territory. Thats the thing about 60s fenders, they aint making 'em anymore. BB
  19. [quote name='Golchen' post='575174' date='Aug 20 2009, 09:59 AM']Hmnnnn ............ Dave Grohl is ace, but I can't say I'm a fan of Josh Homme. I'd prefer to hear more of JPJ with drummer + Nick Beggs on stick personally.[/quote] NB a Stick man now? BB
  20. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='575099' date='Aug 20 2009, 08:55 AM']I know but they do tend to hold their value. I've owned and sold a number of classic series MIMs and it's amazing how much they go for. I still have my 50s RI (MIJ though) from the 80s[/quote] Fair dos! and if its minty ur saving at least 120 clams! I really like 'em - never owned a Fender in 34yrs of bass playing...now that gives me an idea! BB It is the 50s Prec not the the 51 Prec?
  21. Morning Jan! That Crews Maniac with the extended fretboard just looks fantastic! trying to work out 300K yen in real money. BB PS - came to my senses and decided I'm keeping all my basses!
  22. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='574934' date='Aug 19 2009, 11:46 PM']I reckon you'd get £400 for it - they are great basses[/quote] Only £519 new at GeetarGeetar BB
  23. I knew that baldy twat slapper wasn't to be trusted! BB Dammit! now the Site will have to hand me real name over and i'll get sued
  24. The £30 will be just to look at it initially!!!!! Like a call out fee for your washing machine BB
  25. [quote name='Raving_camel' post='574528' date='Aug 19 2009, 06:06 PM']Did anyone here visit Southside music, on Cathcart Road? I really liked how open and friendly that place was and I think that would be a nice idea for a shop.......[/quote] Used to go there quite a lot, lots of nice gear but haven't been in a long while. The only other true independants now are Strungout, Merchant City Music, That one next to Victor Morriss ( which is part of them - Guns and Banjos!!!) and now Sound Control(west) has gone back to being CC music they may start getting more interesting stuff.
