Great gear, when did you win the lottery!? ;-)

is this the group that ex- Japan Keyboard player Richard Barbieri is a member of per chance?

Good points by all, but having always played the lower end of the spectrum and recently forked out for higher end instruments it was obvious as soon as I plugged it in why expensive is better. Better finish, better materials, better electrics superior sound and tone. Horses for courses I guess...

This seem strange as I contacted Lakland recently about purchasing a finish other than the Blue and they responded with other new finishes will be available soon?

Folks, Just a wee heads up that the ex Japan Fretless wonder is realising his autobiography in November, should be a good read for us Bass players as Mick is a stunningly unique bassist. I may have to dig out some old Japan albums to hear that lovely Wal Fretless and of course his old Travis Bean. Steve.

Just bought a lovely Overwater from Chris and what a top bloke to deal with! Would def do again!! Cheers, Steve.

Awesome Bass! Nice Noodling, I even like the 'It ain't half hot mum obligatory shorts!' What happened to the summer by the way!!??

I am also home alone waiting for My new Overwater !!!!! Bet he turns up at 5:30pm!!!!!!!!!

Hello There, Personally I don't think you can wrong with one of the Squire packages for a beginner. I got my son a Squier P and he loves it. Cheers, Steve.

Good stuff, perhaps we should start a good guy's on E-bay forum! Usually when its too good to be true it is but glad this was a good un for you. [quote name='jmsjabb' post='593194' date='Sep 8 2009, 07:29 PM']Well, the friendly Parcel force man cane in today with a box. Inside, a great Warwick Corvette in ioled red. 2 little dings which I can remove, and as a plus, it is active!!! Bonus. Great guy, friendly and quick to send out.[/quote]

Would have been good to go there just to see WHO was buying the stuff! I wonder why his family flogged off all his stuff, did the Ox not have a son - He could have adopted me!

Chaps, Just thought I would give praise to my most recent experience with a Bass store. I had been trawling for day's for a Lakland 44-01 in Natural finish to no avail all the shops had a nice longish waiting time, the cheapest I could find was £679 until I stumbled on MB Music who had what I wanted in stock it was £599 and I had the bass on my door step in 24 hours! Shops usually give you so much heartache that it was refreshing to see a seller be as good as his word! Well Done Martin at MB I will certainly go there again! Steve. Ps. The bass I bought is no longer showing as being in stock on their website - so they also update their records toot sweet too!

If you type in Southebys John Entwhistle its the fourth return down. Its the actual Southebys website. I am not sure how to post a link on here but I am sure if you perceiver you'll find it! I have also mailed Lakland and it is indeed one of theirs made especially for John. I have a feeling that Southebys missed of the first 2 letters of the serial. So anyone got £2k to spare...? Dave, check out the trumpets and the suprising amount of guitars as opposed to Bass, the total lot came to over a million.

Not sure about all the pictures of fish though! He was an odd guy but a damn fine Bass player! [quote name='bassman2790' post='592640' date='Sep 8 2009, 07:50 AM']Ooooh ... I like Lot 132, the Modulus Graphite 'Precision'[/quote]

Google: sotheby's john entwistle [quote name='EssentialTension' post='592578' date='Sep 8 2009, 12:06 AM']Have you got a link for that?[/quote]

Young 'trendy' things trying to tell us old boys all about this new thing they have invented called Punk!!!!!! Arrghhh TABS - Just learn to read goddamit!!!!!!

Having checked the Southebys website I found the bass in question, in fact you can see all of the equipment John sold! Christ he had some gear!!: LOT 119 cW - A Lakland semi-acoustic bass guitar 1,000—1,500 GBP Lot Sold. Hammer Price with Buyer's Premium: 1,440 GBP measurements N/A Description serial 002 impressed to top edge of headstock, natural waxed finish with single f-hole, twin Bartolini pickups, in gig bag [quote name='EssentialTension' post='589256' date='Sep 3 2009, 11:25 PM']That's a good price for a US Lakland #002. Trouble is the Lakland website gives the US hollow body serials as HB01 up to HB96.[/quote]
