  1. In response to the OP, I suspect there’s a few who have unwittingly bought someone else’s prized instrument from CC.
  2. It's amazing that the manufacturers haven't yet caught on.
  3. Caravan Palace last night at Manchester Albert Hall. Got there a bit late so we ended up at the front end of the balcony overlooking the bassplayer. Astonishingly talented bunch of multi instrumentalists, and given that we were behind the main PA and just getting a mix off a backfill speaker the sound wasn't as bad as I feared. The bass sound, in the context of the live mix, was one of the best I've ever heard (Seafoam green Fender jazz, tort, rosewood, blocks, and an EUB for a few numbers). The disappointing thing was he only used the Jazz for about 3 or 4 songs.
  4. So you could buy a new one, pay for a decent respray and still have a couple of hundred change out of a grand instead.
  5. If the singer wants you to pay for a share of his PA, then maybe you could get him to contribute next time you see a bass you fancy.
  6. It's Wednesday, but I'm not sure if they'd go in the Recycling or not so I couldn't tell you which week.
  7. Ah, excellent plan, thanks. That was almost embarrassing. I think I'll just leave the '75s out for the bin men, save the charity shops the trouble of trying to offload them.
  8. Well that's just a kick in the teeth for someone who has one from 1964 and two from 1975. I'd imagine.
  9. "Hey man, I loved your bass tone tonight. It was really... efficient." Said no-one, ever.
  10. Sounds like you had a lucky escape. Some might say.
  11. I've seen worse relicing ( is that how it's spelt?), to be fair.
  12. So, if you bought the 10 string Alembic AND the 3 string Stingray, on average you would have, well, a lot less money.
  13. https://reverb.com/uk/item/83363525-fender-jazz-bass-1965-all-original-w-a-beautiful-sonic-blue-refinish-ready-for-its-next-gig Another one of Schrödinger's basses... simultaneously all original AND refinished.
  14. Well he does say in the description that it needs tuning. That obviously brings the value down quite considerably.
  15. One of the highlights on iPlayer for me was discovering Psychedelic Porn Crumpet. Possibly the best band name in history and they turned out to be superb.
