Ou7shined Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 They were popular... .... but I believe the hysteria has died down now and many are getting parted out along with their new upgrades. In fact I've actually seen some just being described as "Fender copies" as the SR name was hindering the chance to make a profit - ie £40 for a body that came off a £60 bass. This one appears to be all original. Wouldn't it be funny if it was more desirable because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually used it for Seabass Kid's first music video! Another is fretless now, and has a ModelP pickup. The third one (the half) is in bits... I started the project by stripping the body and I mean to put a MM pickup on it etc... you may remember this, perhaps I have the firm intention of getting back on track in November... this Summer has been a killer for all my "distractions", but I want to get back to this one asap. Ahem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Aye aye, quelle surprise. It was down to you two (and perhaps 2 more) that the whole phenomenon grew wonky legs in the 1st place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apa Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Technically this went for £70 so thats a 16.7% increase on my pension fund in 9 months. Alls looking good A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
