OldGit Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Mine are cheaper Maybe I should list them upon Ebay alongside those Just noticed he's got a Hank Marvin Plectrum - used by him ... for £75 Edited July 14, 2009 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumnote Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 In the late 80s early 90s I sent a pair of p bass pickups from my 64 to Kent armstrong for rewind because one of the cables had come off. He said I would be better off with a new pair of genuine fenders which he would let me have at cost and he would keep mine for spares. Oh how gullible I was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend moved to a place near Doncaster in the 80s. We used to go and look around the music ground shop and think how ridiculous the prices were then. Oh if only we had spend more on guitars and less on beer. A point I remind my wife when I bring another bass into the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
