Now if thats not Great Service...... Many Thanks Ashdown!... Martin. For a split second that was confusing!.....Thanks for moving this!

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='394594' date='Jan 29 2009, 02:35 PM']BC Rich in the first movie, but a Sei in the second wasn't it? (As well Status and Tobias at other points too I think...)[/quote] MB1. Yes i think youre right!....Was just thinking an Alembic Soiler would have been the ideal bass for Derek to have played Spinal Taps.... BIG BOTTOM on! ......Sorry!...I'll get me coat!

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='394442' date='Jan 29 2009, 12:01 PM']I've tried a few Alembic Spoilers and wasn't that keen on them. They'd be ok if you like a dark sound though, for dub or reggae they'd sound huge.[/quote] MB1. Apparently Soilers do have a Big Bottom! Derek Smalls bass of preference!

MB1. Bought a TE Cab badge off Martin,top quality,Great Fast transaction,....took two postman to deliver it,will not be putting this one on my Hat! Cheers Mert! Martin.

MB1. Alembic Soiler????????????? If your looking for over a grand for a bass, get the name right!....

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='392969' date='Jan 27 2009, 05:46 PM']He's based in Merton, near Wimbledon. I wonder - does [i]Merton[/i] live in Merton? Incidentally, it's this sort of thing that puts me off buying Fenders. I've had some really nice vintage instruments pass through my hands (far too many of them are still with me) but provenance is rarely that much of an issue. But mention "pre-CBS Fender" and suddenly everyone turns into Del-boy. And when I think I've spotted one ... the bugger turns out to be genuine. [See my other, disastrous thread: How Bad Does A Fake Have To Be?]. [/quote] MB1. Merton lives in Redhill.....better had do! or ive sent the cheque to the wrong place!

[quote name='Beedster' post='392748' date='Jan 27 2009, 02:18 PM']There's another '64 with the same neck date in the USA at present (I'm up on my '64 neck dates as I'm looking for one born the same day as me) Not saying it's a ringer, but it's certainly a coincidence? Chris[/quote] MB1. "I'm looking for one born the same day as me!"......Nowt like setting yourself a challenge Chris!

MB1. Great review Mac!....sounds like "Theres Orangey!"....might have a little bit more....Yo Ho Ho!

MB1. .......Think Coffin but wider!

MB1. Now Thats!....what I call an Answer!
