  1. You're welcome, Dunc! GLWTS!
  2. That is gorgeous! I think "red colour" is a bit of an understatement! GLWTS.
  3. I was in Nottingham city centre the night before last and it seemed that every third car - mostly small hatchbacks - had an over-excited exhaust. Pretty daft, as they were reduced to about 5mph over the speed bumps by the tram track!
  4. Don't they have a lifetime guarantee? Or is that just for wear and tear?
  5. I apologise if I appeared to be passive-aggressive, but we did appear to be straying off-topic. I'll make myself clearer next time.
  6. Are you all saying these are irrational prejudices? If not, ahem…
  7. Quite apart from the amazing sound capabilities, these are just beautiful objects - craftsmanship and care always win in the end. I too am wishing I'd seen it earlier (and could afford it!). Hope your sale goes well... sort of!
  8. Or, worse, members of staff wanting to talk to me in a guitar store, etc., etc.
  9. Oh, are you sure? That would be a real surprise (to me, anyway). I’ve always hankered after one of his basses.
  10. In that case, could you please put WITHDRAWN in the title, so the mods can close it down and Basschatters don't waste their time? Thank you.
  11. Who they? This isn't X or Truth Social - most people on here care about their basses and about each other.
  12. Wow! John Lloyd may want to forget that one!
  13. Oof! You don’t mess about with your basses. Good luck.
  14. Just the most romantic soul there is.
  15. That's a helluva lot of bass for three hundred quid and change. GLWTS.
  16. That "white" is just gorgeous, Brian. GLWTS.
  17. That’s wonderful, as is the currently out of reach bass. GLWTS
  18. 10 FEET!?!? That’s some nut! 🤣🤣🤣 GLWTS, it’s a lovely thing, all joking apart
  19. This is a great price for an excellent bass. The Contemporary series as a whole is nothing like the more visible Ignition basses. For a start, the neck is “floating” - I.e. there’s a gap beneath it, north of the neck pickup - which adds to the instrument’s resonance and authenticity, and also means you can use the proper Hofner strap. The sound is much fuller and somehow “richer” than the Ignition too, and the control plate is also authentic, with the “upside down “ bass and treble switches. Essentially, it’s a completely different instrument. GLWTS.
