discreet Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Definitely PRIMM-YOO-LA. Tip: Makes you look years younger if you spread it on your face and sleep in the airing cupboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yes, and there is one of the discovery type channels where you can't get away from either sharks, nazis or dinosaurs. It does make you wonder what their demographic is. I'm waiting for the ad break where they have a wizened old SS Officer going upstairs in a Stannah stair lift, or perhaps a wrinkly old Great White in one of those walk in baths. Armando Ianucci used to do a gag about their new flagship show 'Walking with Nazis'. I wonder when the OP will be along to give the plate another spin to keep the thread bubbling away?

Whereas, I say people have an equal right to criticize. [/quote] I used to have one of those. Not one of 'those' you understand; mine was the full sized version (345 - that one is a 325). Bought in 1973 for £95 - they weren't that highly thought of at the time. Sold in 1990 for £1000. Dread to think what it might be worth now (made in 1964). I can turn this into a much longer story if anybody wants me to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toneknob Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 [quote name='Bronner' timestamp='1426897189' post='2723348'] Now that the decades have passed since getting rid of it; I've come to realize that McCartney probably played this bass because they made him a left-handed copy. He got it free. That's all there is to it. [/quote] They initially wanted money for it though, but yes it was a freebie. He's since started using other basses, which were also freebies. What company wouldn't want the world's most influential bassist showing off their wares on stage? You'd be daft not to give him a freebie. McCartney has said in interview "It was the first left-handed bass I´d ever had, ´cause the Hofner was a converted right-hand. It was a freebie and I loved it". Why put it on Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper, Revolver if he didn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairychris Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 [quote name='Thump' timestamp='1427062946' post='2725412'] Ten pages and counting... I'd still have a black one. Black ones sound best [/quote] Well, red ones go faster. It's a scientific fact about everything. Anyway, I've never really tried a Rick for any length of time. My brother had a 6 string that he liked, and I have at least 2 friends who are Rick users and manage to sound good live & recorded. Also I'm not sure that the OP knows what "ad hominem" means, it's really quite specific: You're English/an idiot/less than 5 ft in height THEREFORE you're wrong = ad hominem You're wrong, THEREFORE you're an idiot = not ad hom You're an idiot (without reference to argument) = not ad hom Ah well.
