My Rics:

Try finding one for an Epi Flying V bass.

It's pretty much what I want...don't suppose you would like to sell that to a poor student, gv'nor? [/quote] Sorry, It's not for sale. I bought it from a guy from near Derby who advertised it on the net.

Here's my Eastwood Classic 4 in action....

I'll see your two Rics and raise you...

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='895219' date='Jul 14 2010, 11:23 PM']do you gig it much???[/quote] It gets its turn, as I have a lot of basses. I like to use it for money by pink Floyd. it's just got the right tone for it. there are some videos of me playing it in the archive at www.thekerbcrawlers.co.uk [url="http://www.crazeeworld.plus.com/kerbcrawlers/pages/video2.htm"]http://www.crazeeworld.plus.com/kerbcrawle...ages/video2.htm[/url] (Check out the acoustic show videos)

I love mine - the Classic 4 bass on the left.

So the guy has whacked out enough money to make the shop finally part with a known-to-be-stolen bass. HE gets to keep it, when it rightfully belongs to Pastorious' family. .... and he will SELL it back to them? The legal system wasn't really helping the family at all and Trujillo has helped himself. [b]If he was helping the family, they would have the bass.[/b]

Brian Eastwood lives in Stacksteads (on the main road between Rawtenstall and Bacup). Nice to see that he's going to be busy, but I was going to take a Gibson SG (guitar) to him for a refinish. Bugger, it will take ages, now. [url="http://www.brianeastwoodguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.brianeastwoodguitars.co.uk/[/url]

Try an Eastwood Classic 4, if you want something that looks like a GWF bass. Classy. Here's mine (left):

[quote name='Cloff' post='875616' date='Jun 23 2010, 05:27 PM']What's the name and/ or type of the rickenbackeresque bass? Looks quite nice![/quote] It's John Birch SCDR bass made in Birmingham UK in 1976.

[quote name='Clarky' post='875591' date='Jun 23 2010, 05:13 PM']You could use that second bass as a mirror to signal to search planes [/quote] I've watched LOST too. My thoughts exactly.

Apart from the Alembic Spyder, which is a faithful replica of John Entwsitle's bass, I really don't care about signature basses. I wouldn't pay more for a nice looking 50's P bass with Sting's name on it than one without. I like to see what people use, but having their name on the bass wouldn't make me buy it. I would hate to be seen as a wannabe of any other bassist.

It's between these two at the moment:

[b]Very best of luck in recovering your bass.[/b] Some people don't deserve to live.

This has always been a great site: [url="http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/"]http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/[/url]

I'm on about 25 basses and next year I am going to rationalise the collection down to about a dozen or so and also a couple of guitars. Even with that thought seriously in mind, I could never turn up my nose at the chance of one of these:

My band, The Kerbcrawlers in Wigan the other week.

A pink jazz? People would [i]look at that.[/i] So, yes.

I have a Candy Cola US Jazz and it looks like I should get a black (or mirror) scratchplate for it!!
