[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='314345' date='Oct 25 2008, 08:46 AM']That tash is awesome[/quote] That's what I thought, the first time I tried to find a pic of Moon basses all I came up with was Larry Graham but this guy's tash swung it for me

[quote name='d-basser' post='314295' date='Oct 25 2008, 12:39 AM']looks a bit like a Moon...JJ4...maybe[/quote] Good shout - bit like one of these:

I used to double some of the guitar parts but as the keys are doing a fair bit of that I try to play it really simple now - in fact I try to play s little as possible. Seems to be one of those 'less is more' kinda songs to me

On again later tonight - BBC4 repeat everything I'm recording it overnight - I do like Beck but I find watching him on Sky+ is a bit of a bonus as I can zap past the bits when I get a bit bored

Just been listening / watching some Prince & found this live version of Purple Rain & couldn't work out what bass his player had?

Not really in shot much but if you wind up to about 10 mins 45 secs theers one decent view of it then. Looks kinda cool to me And I love this song by the way

I pretty much got my asking price and they took what I thought was a fair commission off the top for organising & taking a credit card on my behalf

[quote name='Sean.Robinson' post='313223' date='Oct 23 2008, 07:12 PM']To be honest hanging on to it would be the ideal situation, but i need to sell it before my Shuker comes through and something tells me thats were talking about years for the market to pick up as apposed to months :/[/quote] What about selling the other Flea - or maybe that's gone already?

I thought about doing almost the same thing as it happens Well, kind of - I was going to take the Lane Poors & stick them in a custom build Sei bass. I think without the Lane Poors it would be harder to sell from an RHT perspective. It would become a Flea with RHT [i]association[/i] rather than the one that he took around the world with Jeff Beck. However, having said that, a Flea with 2 x Duncans or Barts etc + £400 might be worth more than the bass as it stands. Difficult call really - worst case example would that it'd fetch £1,200 as it stands or £900 as a basic twin pickup Flea. On that basis you'd have the hassle of sourcing & fitting the pickups & not making any cash gain Maybe sell something else now & hang on until the market picks up a bit?
