oooohhh, can I play? Here's my Mexican Special - a 'Cowpoke'. Some brave soul stripped all the paint off to reveal a rather lovely natural finish. She's been modded with a fantastic Schecter bridge and a brass nut and sounds fantastic.It's a keeper. Check out the slimmed down headstock. I realise it's a 'Marmite' Bass - you either love it or you hate it - but I'm a fan and I can't understand why they're still not in production.

...I like it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (or beerholder, depending on yer circumstances) but surely you should be allowed to do whatever you want to your instrument? If the original owner decided he wanted an extra pickup/bridge/ashtray/rear view mirror on his '51. so be it. I'm always amazed when having the occasional peep on the Ric forums, how aggressive people get when they see the tiniest of modifications -the vitriol is amazing! For most of us, a Bass is our tool (settle down, you filthy minded lot!) and if we feel we have to modify it to make an 'improvement' then why not? I'd like to hear what this puppy sounds like...

Crows: Taylor AB1 Basement Flat: Ricky Swim in the sky: Precision Do I win £5.00? Lovely tunes as ever. Tell Mr Lloyd that Sir Henry Staple says hi and can he have his copy of 'Diary of a Rock and Roll Star' back please?

During my 15 minutes of fame (more like 30 bleedin’ seconds…) I was lucky enough to have an album and single mastered by the esteemed Mr Peckham. I even got to see him working on them. He graciously answered a million geeky fanboy questions whilst trying to make my weedy little indietune into something that wouldn’t sound too offensive on the radio. I asked him who his most difficult client was and without missing a beat, he answered ‘Rory Gallagher’. Apparently, Rory was an absolute sweetheart but kept trying to remix albums at the mastering stage, much to Porky’s annoyance. I was also incredibly impressed by his custom made pink, pig shaped notepads…classy. He’s a gentleman and a legend.

I sold Joshua some Fender Mexi Jazz pickups...he paid promptly with great communication. Buy and sell with confidence Rushbo

Maybe he thought sticking a Tokai logo on it would arouse less suspicion than a Fender one... The fact that he's been told on a number of occasions that it's not what he's claiming it to be surely removes any benefit of the doubt. The irony is that it looks OK and if the seller wasn't so dishonest and greedy, he might have got a decent price anyway.
