[quote name='noelk27' post='1254895' date='Jun 3 2011, 12:30 AM']And don't forget Andy Taylor, of Duran Duran fame. Hey, maybe you can use a small amount of the sale price to invest in an SF next time you have an itch for something Yamaha, and six string![/quote] And Frank Gambale with Billy Cobham!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF64qcwReMI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF64qcwReMI...feature=related[/url] I liked Gambale's Stu Hamm years too, he's a fantastic player Thanks again for the help Noel! I've jotted down the SF in my scrapbook, so its definately targeted for the future, I just got fed up of begging my coursemate to jam on the SG through his Blackstar HT20, can't have everything I guess... I just loved playing blue licks and finishing on a vibrato which lasted forever trying to show off to his housemates. Still unsure about selling this one, I've had US interest i'm contemplating - i'm not a massive fan of overseas shipping but it could be going to an ex member of the J. Geils Band in a month or so if it doesn't evilbay. ALSO!! I will consider Px's/Trades - its unlikely you'll find any joy but never say never. I would like some money for an amp please

I've owned a Cirrus previously and I didn't have that problem - sorry that thats of little help but I just wanted say from my experience that wasn't the case. Hope you get it sorted! They're fantastic basses, build, playability, value and tone wise

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1253764' date='Jun 2 2011, 11:54 AM']I cant believe Im even saying this, but my SR P has been gigged three times and earnt three times more than I paid for it over the past 4 weeks. My Dad, who isnt a bass player, but understand quality and aesthetics, thought it was an absolute bargain. If these were £180 new or so, Id still say it was a good bass. I did think about selling, but I see no point in upgrading a £60 backup to a £300 or more Squier in the scenario im in. Really like it, and I know the tone isnt as good as my American Standard P, but it does the job. My band think it sounds pretty damn good.[/quote] Exactly, I'm experiencing the same £60 new to £700 2nd hand is a no brainer and it'll cost less than half the Squier when both are upgraded AND!! It's alder maple and rosewood! I love mine, play it through a Roland Cube 30 at practice and its a fine (nuthin' fancy) P bass

[quote name='Shaggy' post='1253023' date='Jun 1 2011, 07:03 PM']Nail on the head, and I was thinking more of his previous work with Magazine; never flashy, but wonderful tone and complemented the band sound rather than vice-versa. Saw them in '80 and his Yammy was just the same as yours. Wish I had something to trade........ [/quote] I'm watching the 'Israel' performance from the '81 cologne gig now, he sure does love his pedals!! It's a very piano like guitar, and a great base for that if you have any. Think I've owned one pedal my entire life , needs to be run through my Boss DR-880 COSM effects . Yeah its the most common 'Redburst', it looks very tasteful in the flesh (Amber to Crimson Red, Gold, Black and Tobacco White/Creme - I don't see Yellow) despite an online opinion describing it as 'clownburst and bling' haha! It also has a lightening quick neck and the (rolled?) binding helps a lot with adding your thumb to the root note of chords (I always check this when buying/trading) so its playability is top standard and finding harmonics is effortless .

[quote name='Shaggy' post='1250741' date='May 30 2011, 08:31 PM']Also weapon of choice of the late John McGeogh - my fave guitarist of the last 30 years. Bump for a fabulous axe...... [/quote] Thanks Greg , I'm ashamed to say i've never come across Siouxsie and the Banshees although I'm sure my sister has a CD somewhere if its Punk Rock - that's probably one of the best band names i've heard too! Upon further investigation, McGeogh's actually a very good source for soundclips of the rhythm tone as most people play lead style licks and phrasing on these guitars.

Yeah it looks ok, the Birdseye Maple top has retained the Butterscotch Blonde look a tele suits best IMO ( with the maple fingerboard too )

1981 Vintage Yamaha SG2000 with All Original 70's Features and Hardshell Case. (Les Paul Killer Classic) Blackberry Photos (To be Upgraded): [url="http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/Schnozzalee/Music%20Gear/"]http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/S...e/Music%20Gear/[/url] High Definition Photos: [url="http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/Schnozzalee/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ28"]http://s1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/S...;cpZZ1QQtppZZ28[/url] One of the much sought after guitars as designed by Yamaha and Santana in '76. As played by: Santana, Neil Schon (Journey), Brian Robertson (Thin Lizzy), Bob Marley, Stuart Adamson (Big Country), Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes Band), Bill Nelson (Beebop Deluxe) etc. 9.5/10 Condition. All original with no issues! However please read... Inidication that its from the 70's: 3 Piece Maple Top Distinct to the Takabayashi Factory Originals. Visible 20mm Maple Through Neck/Body Stripe. Brown Plush Fur inside its Hardshell Case. No coil tap option. Truss Rod Cover - SG2000 not SG2000S. Inidication that its from '81: Serial Number begins with 0404 instead of 0044. I have researched this model time and time again along with the kind help of BC's expert Noelk27 and the serial number has confused Yamaha's customer service also - The previous owner has assured me that it was bought in the year of '79 and no later. You won't lose money on my asking price anyway as a modern secondhand one goes for the same (at GUITAR GUITAR). That aside... Spec: 22 Fret Abalone chevron and Bound Ebony Fingerboard with uber low super quick action, 10 gauge strings, no fretbuzz, frets have been recently restoned with loads of play left in them. Double Cutaway for easy reach to the highest frets (SCREEEEEAM!!!) 3 Piece maple top in 'Red Burst' (Dark orange fade to Reddy Brown to match the mahogany), also Bound with engraved T-O-M Bridge etc. It also has Santana's brass sustain block underneath so notes ring and ring with a more natural tone and character than a fernandes sustainer pickup. The thru neck body is 7 piece (mahog/mahog/mahog/maple/mahog/mahog/mahog) and there is a piece of maple in transition between the ebony fingerboard and the neck. It's build quality is impeccable earning its similar comparison to that of Gibson Custom Shop. Two Pro Alnico V's, many people change these and then revert back to them realising Yamaha got it right the first time (They have not been changed on this guitar). They're akin to an SG's bright tone with piano-like clarity as opposed to the muddiness of a Les Paul...but still has the dense body to compensate for sustain and thickens up the tone considerably. A great lead style guitar (Santana). I love this guitar, and this one doesn't weigh a tonne, its similar to a Les Paul and I use a wide guitar strap and can happily play it for 2 hours standing up AND I have a back injury from a tyre factory so rest assured. REASON FOR SELLING: I traded this for the equivalent of £1300 of my previous gear predicting it to have a quick turn around (judging by Ebay) and be a sound stable investment, the fact that it was designed by one of my favourite guitarists and played by my parents No.1 Live Gig - Big Country - was only a bonus. I'm wanting to setup a guitar rig as I only have a small Marshall at current so money is needed. [color="#FF0000"]£1300 collected.[/color]
