neepheid Posted Saturday at 17:34 Share Posted Saturday at 17:34 Mentioned this class bit of hyperbole in the G&L thread but worth repeating here - "I bet Leo himself breathed the thin nitro coating on to it." Did Leo die from huffing nitro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted Saturday at 18:11 Share Posted Saturday at 18:11 (edited) Near retail price as it’s been “extensively upgraded” with a quarter pounder and a different colour scratchplate… or sellers who tell me the price of how much some tech charged them to fit the set of strings (on an electric bass) and then expect that cost to be added to their asking price… Edited Saturday at 18:12 by LukeFRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted Saturday at 18:15 Share Posted Saturday at 18:15 Also the “I met <insert famous name> who shook my mates hand so I licked it then licked the bass” so I’ll add on £4000 to the price… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted Saturday at 18:42 Share Posted Saturday at 18:42 Ex (insert famous bassist) bass played on the (insert famous album) tour. Usually for a model bass that the named bassist has never played and on the tour where the band had a different bassist. For example "Ex Cliff Burton Dingwall NG2 which he played on the St Anger tour" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me that always works against an instrument - some famous artist who can afford whatever they want had a choice of keeping this bass, but they decided to get rid of it as it wasn't as good as the other ones they had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke to my local amp tech about servicing after he had repaired mine. He said blow the dust out of it once a year but other than that, if it sounds good then don't touch it.

itu Posted Sunday at 19:10 Share Posted Sunday at 19:10 "Mojo" meaning the bass has lots of gunk all over it, badly used, owned by someone smoking in chain, and is just plain shi**y. Mojo, my arsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
