Ou7shined Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 It has so obviously been hit with sandpaper. -> [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160560167256&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123#vi-desc"]linky[/url] At no point does he categorically claim that the wear is genuine but the carefully chosen wording [i]implies[/i] it several times. He also implies that it is a 70's bass (I think it's an '83+) Still there's probably a nice bass in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 I've just spotted his ebay-name. It rings a bell but I can't remember from what... of course it doesn't help that all his past listings are private. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what stoopid reserve he's set on it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably has to sell everything at hiked up prices to be able to afford all that hairspray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I never bump into him if I'm in the company of some semi famous musician from the Sixties! he seems to have formed a band with almost every one he's ever met! wonder why they were all so short lived ?

Thing is, being in production from '82 to '84, an original SB1 (or SB2 come to that) is a desirable bass. Recently, a black/maple SB1 sold locally for £650 (as it was all original and in excellent condition). He obviously thought doing a home relic job would get him a better price than what these usually go for. Plank.

I met him once & does have the "big I Am attitude". A few years ago he had a shop which sold old guitars, this could still be his stock being sold off.
