elom Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 When clearing out my Gran's loft recently (she hadn't died, just moved) I found a Sinclair ZX-80 and an Oric Atmos, which I guess I must have put up there about 25 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was putting some stuff in the loft a month or so ago at my uni house (It's bass related cos I have to stand on my amp to get in there) and found 2 fornicating squirrels. Needless to say I politely excused myself and let them carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I found all the bits from a westone guitar in my loft. I thought I'd given it away years ago. Now I have a not quite fully assembled westone guitar in my bedroom. I keep finding 80/90s rack synth modules & fx whenever I have a rummage. The best forgotten find was a deep bass 9 midi analog monosynth module. Theres a novation drumstation up there somewhere as well. I'm thinking of breaking into my uncles loft to see if he has a crappy copy of a fender bass with a lovingly applied a fake fender decal. It doesn't seem like the kind of thing he'd have done, but its always uncles isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumble Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I dont go in my loft.. the voices tell me not to. On the other hand they also tell me about a lack of vintage Fenders up there. I dont trust them, I think they are trying to keep them for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Found a realy old violin and a painting in my dad's loft after he popped off .. Took them to Sotheby's and they said "What you have here is a Stradivarius and a Salvador Dali. Sadly, Dali made crap violins and Stradivarius was a terrible painter ..." Bum-toosh "Here all week folks, Try the squid .." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I couldn't find my loft hatch, but undeterred I broke through and found an old retired couple living there. They said they'd lived at flat 47 for the last 14 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbloke Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I was helping sort out my mum's place and found something even better than a bass guitar - a massive box of lego (Space, Castle and technic) that I'd amassed over 10 years and my mum unfairly confiscated after she came home and found me and a loads of mates playing with it. Granted, I was 21 at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could call that cowardice.[/quote] Far too Witty for most of us, keep it smutty and simple please The best loft clearance i heard of was from a a chap who run a little guitar shop in Canterbury, ( The little one in the basement up by West gate tower , you might remember it Chris) He went to clear out a loft and the haul included A gretsch white falcon, two AC30 amps, two very early telecasters a Les Paul Gold top, an early 60's jazz and other assorted vintage amps. Luckily the bloke was decent and gave the widow a decent share in the proceeds which were considerable. He never got to the bottom of the story, the woman remembered that her husband played a little guitar when he was younger but was clueless to the vintage goldmine in the loft.

Golchen Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Another forum I go to: last year someone was asked to look at a guitar some friends found in their loft (they don't know anything about em), and it turns out it was a 61 strat in superb nick!
