[quote name='pietruszka' timestamp='1376645787' post='2177201'] I know what you mean. I popped into Sound Control yesterday and noticed they sell EBMM Stingrays for £1,500. To me that sounds rather pricey! I'm not sure people will 'stop buying new' as you put it, although it's a nice thought to drive RRP's down. Perhaps some people aren't struggling to afford new instruments, but for the rest of us there is always going to be a strong second hand market. I do think the rising cost of equipment is showing a positive. There are speaker cabs available that still pack a fair punch, are loud, have ceramic magnets to keep the cost down but still only weight 12kgs! Markbass have just released their Blackline range which is cheap. So things are starting to turn. Dan [/quote] Didn't think sound control were still going

Cool! That's a keeper then;)

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376599524' post='2176779'] But if it really has been untouched for the last 35 years then all the refinishing happened when it wasn't vintage or anything special - just old and second hand. [/quote] Very good point .

Could be wrong but , the saying goes ' never refinish a vintage bass' . It is said to devalue them considerably

I remember back when Motörhead played Donington ('88?). They played a blinder. We met some people who heard everything in their garden...5 miles away

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376597561' post='2176737'] So not really that much of a bargain then. [/quote] The prices of the psychedelic paisley colour go for a lot more

Wow! This thread will soon be on another page

Cool drumkit

Yes catalogue bass. You couldn't forget them tho'

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1376586974' post='2176553'] There's a lovely looking Sandberg on the Bassdirect "Second Hand" page just now, http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg_TM5_PBY.html [/quote] Wow!

Wasn't Kay the woolworths type, bargain bucket price of the 60's/70's ?

Pretty cool also like the sound gear in the garden

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1376585920' post='2176536'] It says in the description that it had been painted orange over the original blonde finish so i guess that's why someone decided to strip it. [/quote] This is true

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376577122' post='2176338'] How much would this be worth if it still had the original pickup fitted and working, the original finish, and the neck didn't look as though it had been gnawed on by rodents? [/quote] Probably 2- 2 .5 grand

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1376580354' post='2176406'] So is this.............. [/quote] That's pretty cool

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1376576852' post='2176326'] Probably due to my conservartive upbringing and my instinctive good taste , I am much too sensible to have ever owned a bass in any of these ridiculous colours . However , that doesn't stop me from casting a sideways glace at them and wondering what it would be like to come home to the offbeat charms of one of these monstrocities . It's like looking at a Chav woman in the supermarket sporting gaudy makeup and offensive children and wondering what it would be like if you gave her a job as your cleaning lady and let her into your home . Would she steal from you and laugh all the way to Cash Converters , or would you end up giving her a special Dingus "Christmas bonus " one afternoon and run away together to start a new life on benefits in Luton ? Could I , Lord Dingus of Nowhere In Particular , really go out in public with a yellow bass ? Or a green one ? Or a woman who buys her clothes from a sports shop ? I've got a red bass , but even that is Fiesta Red , a classic Fender 1960's custom colour , and makes me look a bit like Hank Marvin with clinical depression . Basses in these strong colours are O.K as a novelty , but that would wear off very quickly , I suspect . I love this , though : Lamborghini Orange . I could live with that . It would go lovely with my brown chocolate cords I got from Gap , too . [/quote] The colour 's ok . Not sure about the bass tho' . (Sorry)

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1376573643' post='2176265'] That's NOT green! This is green! And one showing the MYUNG too Although i REALLY like this colour [/quote] Really like the middle one

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1376571947' post='2176224'] I have a yellow Hondo les Paul. Its in my loft unloved [/quote] Pic !

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1376569443' post='2176163'] I don't go in for coloured basses really, but I wouldn't mind a green one. It would go with my Black Watch tartan mini kilt that I am threatening to wear next time we do anything punky. [/quote] Green is cool! When I got my Washburn status, I nearly got a green one. There was a public transport strike on at the time , so I ended up getting 'wine' . If the 'other ' shop on Denmark st. Was open it was gonna be green. Have you seen the dean zone basses?
