Aren't Bombay Bicycle Club supposed to be brain boxes?

What a great story. It makes me wonder how many Wals are lurking in Ealing (Confession I have two, but they are both lefties, and I didn't pay really stupid money for them)

Jimi Hendrix seemed to manage somehow

You would be a Geordie asking a question like that.

Do you play any Dr Feelgood numbers?

And of course, it never rains in Manc.....

How did they keep an upright piano in tune? What an amazing piece of Vid!

But fantastic playing all the same...respect!

Wasn't Rory Gallagher's trick to leave your guitar in a ditch for a couple of weeks....

Is there a familial likeness there, or is it just the shades? Great photo!

I suspect it might have had a new fret board, but it looks absolutely fantastic for it.

That's a beautiful looking Stingray. It looks like you have polished it within an inch of its life!

And my 77 P is 42mm, but it's a leftie!

What a great throw back. That's very different from the single I have somewhere of it. I seem to remember Larry Carlton played on it. Do you know who the bass player was?

I do like the pictures of King Charles. they add a certain 'authority' to you all....esp the drummer

That looks a really nice bass.....if you like that sort of thing and are a leftie

Great minds (almost) think alike...

No I don't. I have a Mesa D800+ where I put the Noble on the front end. My alternate is a Handbox R 400 on its own, which is a bit less subtle.

Thanks. I do want a functioning bass, but won't that impact the value of the bass to the obsessively 'is it original' brigade?

Well it's not quite glam, but it's an Alembic

I have a pre-EB Musicman which has developed a horrible shorting like noise when I plug it in with certain jack-leads. I recall from another thread recently a basschatter talking about very slightly diffent sized jack plugs. Looking at what seems to make a difference with mine, using old leads where the jack-head has been screwed tightly into the plastic retainer causes the jack to sit very slightly further out (and does not short). Having taken the control unit off the Musicman, the whole jack socket assembly is an old sealed unit that I really don't want to muck about with. Has anyone else experienced his and/or what advice would you have? Ta

With the proviso about the red flags, that looks a pretty good deal. It's got a through body neck (unlike an Epic) and a book matched headstock and body. Like Jazzyvee I would say it looks in good nick. It might weigh a bit though and look out for neck dive (wide strap solves that one)

Is that a soft drink?
