Happy Jack Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 One of the worst re-fins I can remember, but I actually like the sculpted headstock. I'm old enough to remember when these were just workhorse basses, and every pub player had one. The whole vintage & rare, must-be-mint, collectible thing is a pretty recent phenomenomenomenomenome ... erm ... thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I'd say it's like notches on the bedpost - nudge nudge - maybe a lot of good times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I gave up on bedposts ... useless for retaining the flavour of chewing gum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Never seen that either. And I'm equally baffled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Gross, what a shame. My 'must have a vintage Fender' dream has been well and truely overtaken and forgotten. I'd like one, oh yes, but I'm far too picky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 one man's beauty is another man's horror. It's horrible! the neck at the nut looks pretty narrow, more Jazz than Precision... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Slightly OT but good to see they are still listing the fretless 76P that I bought from them in May/June and sold to Happy Jack a month ago [url="http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/our-catalogue/Fender/Electric-Basses/item/6285"]http://www.vintageandrareguitars.com/web/o...asses/item/6285[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 It's an old cheap (to build) mass produced bass. Why not? These things are not anything special in the 'real world', get over it Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 That is absolutely disgusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Well, you had to be there, man. Or something like that. I'm more surprised that V&R seem to have missed the fact that their Bath closed a few weeks ago......thought that would be worth a mention on the website?

Jigster Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 they're obviously the equivalent of notches on the bedpost - this was a ROCK GOD'S bass clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBod Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Good to see they've updated it now (although I'm sure there was also a To Let sign up in the window last time I walked past). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
