[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1425767300' post='2710591'] A portent of things to come..? [/quote] In the future we'll look back on this thread... it will be past tents.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1425766959' post='2710586'] I was roped into this thread but your all poles apart. [/quote] Cheeky pup...

I've not run across these before. Another for the set of 80s headless designs... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161623020286?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l4455&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI161623020286.N7.S2.M1375.R2.TR4

I'd guess the plastic bit goes between the metal and the wood, to stop the metal scarring the surface? It might be possible to loosen another one, rather than dismantling it completely, so you can see how it goes together?

[quote name='Dave_the_bass' timestamp='1425762271' post='2710548'] Shell is winning with the number of camping related puns. The other two are level pegging [/quote] The stakes are high...

Guys. Really...

Clearly no good for metal

Did I post this in the JapCrap thread? Might be the same one?

One of a kind... number 002.

Thanks for posting. Sadly I'm not in the market for one - I can't be doing with that rectangular control plate, it just looks all wrong to me.

Wow. I like

I have an Ibanez SR300 (super thin neck and all) tuned BEAD. Works fine. But I have no use for it

That's got to be heavy...

I got thin superglue from a model shop. It's thin enough that it will run into a crack.

The pBone is very tempting...

I had one of these. Keep an eye on the bridge screws; you might find they lift. (Or it might have been the previous owner... transaction was a little problematic ) And, £215 with a hard case? That looks like a good deal to me.

All of them

Had a guitarist leave over tunings. We should have chosen our songs more carefully.

Did anyone suggest Motorhead yet?

I can't see the lottery win making any difference, TBH...

Is a Fury V a five-string? Very confusing, because there's a Fury and a Fury 2... which is definitely not a two-string

[quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1424689288' post='2699084'] So the whole gigged and road worn look (faux or not) isnt a 'thing' in the way it is with electric bass. I'm guessing that if I pulled out an instrument from the 60s nobody would bat an eye if it looked as though it had been thrown off a cliff, whereas an antique Cello would still be 99% of original condition [/quote] Yes, and also cellists tend to be in classical groups rather than bands. Classical ensembles do not do "roadworn"...
