Some cracking semi-hollow basses here! Always been fond of both bass and guitar semi's; one of the very few basses I still GAS for would be a nice old Ric 4005 - technically fully hollow bodied My current S-H squeezes - a brace of Gibson EB-2's ( '69 EB-2DC and '58 EB-2) and English-made '67 Vox Wyman bass..........

[/quote] Oh Jeez........that one really hurts........ I've had a few bargs - - '60's or early '70's Guild Starfire bass hard case in excellent nick for £20 - see http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1969-GUILD-USA-STARFIRE-BASS-CASE-fits-also-GIBSON-EB-2-SEMI-BASS-/121410296735?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1c449e1b9f - Mint Peavey Classic 30 guitar combo (all-valve / US-made) for £90 - Squier MB1 bass in decent nick for £50 - early '60's Broadway semi-acoustic guitar with twin Fenton Weil pickups for £30 (punk-era graffiti all over it, but came up lovely with a nitro re-fin and a Bigbsy fitted)

Excellent - liking that a lot, though agree with Bassassin that a pearl pickguard might work better, and def needs a decal

What I mainly remember about Peter Noone is he was a regular on the Basil Brush show in the '70's - I hope the poor guy's got over that.....

Pete bought a couple of JB pickguards off me; prompt payer and highly entertaining communications - thanks mate!

Matt bought a bridge off me; instant payment, great comms, smooth deal - cheers fella!!!

[quote name='tonyxtiger' timestamp='1407175539' post='2518087'] I also think flea is awful but I'm ready for lots of people to correct me on that one. [/quote] Nope, totally with you there! [quote name='Number6' timestamp='1407182621' post='2518183'] What about some Hawkwind or Marillion? (Spoken in the voice of Neal from the Young Ones) [/quote] So Lemmy's a dame? That explains a great deal....... NB: am I the only one to have never heard of the Pixies?
