    Wow.

    Aubrey Beardsley for me.

    I had a similar experience there a few months ago. I rang in advance and asked them to bring over a Guild Starfire for me to try - they had one in the shop already but having read some reports of dodgy workmanship I thought it best to try as many as possible. As anticipated, the one in store had various unfortunate defects so I asked for the other one to be brought down. I waited about an hour (trying out other basses so not entirely time wasted). I let the guy know I was still waiting. No problem, he said, and went off to find it. At least another 20 minutes waiting... By then I just thought sod it and left, but not before letting the staff know why and also that I had fully intended to buy the bass, cash in pocket and everything.

    [quote name='Deep Thought' timestamp='1417677657' post='2622883'] 'Live at Leeds', still rightly regarded as one of the best live albums ever-definitely the best version of 'Baba O'Reilly' IMHO. [/quote] Baba O' Riley isn't on Live at Leeds!

    Bump?

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1417683568' post='2622930'] Unusual to see a two pickup passive Shark. [/quote] Ain't it just! Lovely though.

    Bh'ump

    Offers considered as I have my eye on something...

    Nice. Refreshing to see some honest gritty pick playing after endless taste and charisma-free slapfests. Great tone too.
  10. Cosmo Valdemar
    Yeah, drop B. The standard nu-metal bass tone.

    [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1417423150' post='2620071'] These are such good basses. Practically giving it away. Hope it goes to a good home - would have had it myself but I am really trying to be good. The fact that I have hovered over these images for a good five minutes, makes me think I am not cured yet. Good luck. Cheers. [/quote] They are fantastic basses. This one's been with me for years. Their value will probably rocket in a few years knowing my luck!

    [quote name='emilibass' timestamp='1417422578' post='2620068'] Hi. Beatiful! What's the weight? [/quote] Not sure - I'll find out later.
  13. Cosmo Valdemar
    I used to have one just like it. Smashing basses indeed! GLWTS

    WITHDRAWN FROM SALE - a moment of lunacy, now recovered from.

    Here's one I know I'll regret later on! My recently acquired Fernandes FAB180 - Alembic, Series I copy, early 80s. Fantastic condition for age, a couple of minor knocks to body edge. Neck pristine. Stunning build quality, through neck. Sounds remarkably like 'the real thing' - stereo output, active filter electronics. Incredibly versatile, endless tones in this thing! Comes with slightly tatty but functional OHSC and original external power supply. Rare as you like - I picked it up for £900 so that is what I'll let it go for - although in my opinion it is worth far more, it really is stunning. . Located in Dartford, collection preferred or can deliver around the M25. Can ship at buyer's cost. TRADES - Spectors, Spectors, Spectors! Euro or Rebop, 4 or 5 string.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417280054' post='2618821'] Don't worry about Cosmo, he'll get over it - probably by buying a Spector - I think he's pretty close! [/quote] I'm so close, but it's still out of reach... Spectors are an addiction. I've owned nine of the things.
  17. Cosmo Valdemar
    Oh, and crank the horn on your cab.
  18. Cosmo Valdemar
    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417187773' post='2617993'] How is your Spector GAS getting on, by the way..? [/quote] You, sir, are an utter cad!
  19. Cosmo Valdemar
    I nearly bought this bass from Mark but decided against as I didn't really like the colour. Your pics are making me regret that decision.
  20. Cosmo Valdemar
    If it had a P width neck it would be [i]perfect[/i] for me...
  21. Cosmo Valdemar
    Up up up!
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    I'm in the throes of full-on Spector obsession at the moment (again), and posting pictures like that is really not helping.
  23. Cosmo Valdemar
    Macassar!
  24. Cosmo Valdemar
    Well that's just incredible.
  25. Cosmo Valdemar
    Another 'if only it was closer'...
