I was recently received an invitation to join a band, which I accepted. There was a gig booked not too far from me (I’m about 30 minutes north of Perth, in Scotland), which I have been preparing for. I was then asked if I might be available for a string of booked appearances (these aren’t proper gigs) that I wasn’t asked about in terms of availability previously. They bounce up and down the UK (Edinburgh oneday, Brighton after, then Exeter, you get the picture) and I’d have to get there under my own steam. I said I’d struggle with some of them, which I thought was up front and honest. A day later I was fired for unavailability and that I should be able to go anywhere, “At the drop of a hat,” I feel well out of it and that a bullet has been dodged.

Interesting stuff, I had no idea. But to look at it doesn't scream signature model.

Ultimately, they’re just a ‘66 reissue, so any artist association is secondary IMO. Great basses, no question.

A woefully underrated player.

The Fender Roscoe Beck was just a great bass, arguably the best sig bass the big F ever produced and as not a load of folk were/are aware of Mr Beck’s work, it certainly transcended the artist. I think I’d feel pigeon holed by a Fodera yin/yang or a Status Kingbass, but I’m never likely to find out.

Possibly, the pointy one is not cheap https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/210125366336025--rickenbacker-4005xc-90th-anniversary-limited-edition-short-scal

There is a thread dedicated to Mustang hard cases and the like. If memory serves, this one is favoured somewhat https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gator-GL-BASS-Rigid-EPS-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Case/MWN

I Want It All - Queen

Red Sector A - Rush (again)

Even having read the book and enjoyed it (it's way better than other autobiographies I've read recently), having the man read it and relate the tales with Lerxt, seems much richer.

Since moving, I have had nothing but good service from Evri. Due to poor, past experiences, I’m amazed every time it works just as it should now.

Cadillac Ranch - Bruce Springsteen

Beauty Secrets - Be Bop Deluxe

I think @msb is a short and medium scale guy.

I’m guessing a G5440

Happy - Pharrell Williams

Looking Through Gary Gilmore’s Eyes - The Adverts

Sneaking Sally Down The Alley - Robert Palmer

On The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (Marten) - Laurel & Hardy

Family Affair - Sly & The Family Stone

Amsterdam’s Rush Hour Records would beg to differ with your opinion it seems.

My old S was varnished, things may have changed, however.

My favourite guitar. 🥰
