beerdragon Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Just one picture and not much of a description, yet a hefty price.

Beedster Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hugely overpriced for a '71, and Sir Elton ain't exactly known for his bass playing either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I was once in the same room as Kurt Cobain, we were buying drinks at the bar of the Ramada Hotel in Reading after the 1992 festival, I said "Did you have a good time tonight", he said "Yes thank you, did you play today". I said "Yes", he said "That's great" and left the bar. I have a bass that was nowhere near this event, can I have an opening bid of say, £5000?

Clarky Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 If it was played on the execrable "Nikita" it should have discount not a premium to the normal market price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moos3h Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Matthew Kelly once said I was 'sounding good'. I shall start bids on the Strat I was playing at the time, at $8,000. I accept Western Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
