beerdragon Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 There a few basses here, like Stings Hamer cruise bass and Glen Matlocks PBass, no prices though. interesting reading [url="http://rockstarsguitars.com/index.php?c=1"]http://rockstarsguitars.com/index.php?c=1[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Interesting link - I suspect the prices are sky high & a lot of the instruments aren't exactly the classic instrument we associate with the artist. Very interesting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesf Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think that company's owned by Ed Roman, he usually has a few of Steve Vai's Jems knocking about and a few things signed by Eddie Van Halen and Billy Gibbons that he lends to casinos in vegas for glass-case displays.

MacDaddy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 the cynic in me would suggest the collection could be referred to as 'guitars that are not good enough for...'. If Sting doesn't think it's good enough to keep why should I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 What a crazy website. Its almost as if navigating it was deliberately made difficult. Then no indication of any prices. For the price of one of those instruments they could have a paid for a proper site many times over. Weird. Its a bit sad really - all these guitars will probably end up in glass cases in lawyers offices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I suspect most of these are, good instruments, but not special enough to warrant keeping them, can't really blame them wanting special ones either considering they're in the position to afford and try out the best.

7string Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I remember reading in Guitarist about the guy who bought one of Richie Sambora's guitars. Lucky wotsit! I would loved to have bought Phil Collen's Adrenalize Dinky Jackson guitar though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many of the basses on that site were unqiue apart from finishes really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I see Jack Bruce's EB3 is still there, seems to have been on sale forever. Shudder to think what they are asking for it. Maybe I'll email and offer 200 for it, then when they think I mean 200 grand I'll bring them down to earth ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
