FJ1200 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) Found these a couple of days ago - no idea how though. [url="http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/"]http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/[/url] Not everyone's cuppa, but I like something a bit different and I love retro stuff. I want one of those Rocket basses... And the Airline Map... They have vids of the being played too. Edit: And speaking of Rocket, nostalja and retro - here's the original Rockets and the guys wot used them: [url="http://www.hendrixguitars.com/Va166.htm"]http://www.hendrixguitars.com/Va166.htm[/url] Edited June 13, 2008 by FJ1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Yeah they're lovely - I quite fancy the Classic 4 myself. There seem to be mixed reports of them though, so I think I'd like to try one before taking the plunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenie Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 i wouldnt mind giving an airline a go but the positioning of the switches puts me off also i have no idea what they sound like. Anybody any the wiser? The Mosrite copies look pretty ace too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
