[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='376814' date='Jan 11 2009, 02:52 PM']I have a reliced P It was fine when I got it but I've dragged it around the circuit for 30 years and now it's buckle rashed , chips out of it , worn through where my forearm and ribs go etc. I wish these had been around when I bought mine. All that fun and memories , not to mention all the money I made - I could have saved myself all that bother and sat at home watching the telly. [/quote] MB1. Top one Dave! ...I dont get it either! .

[quote name='Machines' post='375982' date='Jan 10 2009, 10:52 AM']Hah you got there before me on the correction neilb . And i'd love to go down there - bit of a drive for a cup of tea though ![/quote] MB1. Manchester to Chelmsford?....Coffee please! Thats what i like about Ashdown a Great British Company and only a phone call away!

[quote name='molan' post='371647' date='Jan 6 2009, 09:34 AM']Anyone seen these yet? [url="http://www.fender.com/roadworn/site.php?language=uk_english"]http://www.fender.com/roadworn/site.php?language=uk_english[/url] (skip the intro it's rubbish!) Relic style '60's Jazz & '50's Precision. I think they are MIM rather than MIA but Fender site isn't clear (unless I'm missing it somewhere). Here's a Jazz: and a P: Both also come in Fiesta Red: Opening price from UK dealers seems to be around the £950 mark so maybe they are MIA after all - or just very expensive MIM?[/quote] MB1. Funnily Enough Crag42 is selling a Roadworn Trace Elliot GP11 4X10 Combo if you want to complement your "Just fell out the back of the van look!"

MB1. Mark my words they'll have instant mash next!

[quote name='G-77' post='375545' date='Jan 9 2009, 07:10 PM']i buy Status hotwires 30-90 in the bulk pack for both headed & headless, not had a problem, before that i used DR hibeams , and have found the hotwires to be very similar , but a lot cheaper. The down side of calling Status is last time I ordered a box of stings , i accidently ordered a streamliner ;-)[/quote] MB1. "Dont you think?... One Sting is enough!... for all of us?"

[quote name='lateralus462' post='375313' date='Jan 9 2009, 04:08 PM']....and the fact that it's quite possibly the ugliest bass ever made!!!![/quote] MB1. +Twelvety! Looks like a Toilet Seat!. PRE EB....Think Louis Johnson....The Brothers Johnson!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='375457' date='Jan 9 2009, 05:50 PM']He's been working with Mark Ronson and various other session stuff. I also agree that his sig bass is never going to appear on my 'wanted' list! [/quote] MB1. Seem to remember Mr Zender played a Red Streamer(stage one) in Custom Aboriginal birthing blanket colours?....didnt look anything like the Sig bass here!

[quote name='Russ' post='375386' date='Jan 9 2009, 04:52 PM']It's certainly very "him", and it's going to be a much nicer bass than that Cort thing he was endorsing before. Can't see them selling too many though, since it's basically just a SSI with a custom paint job. I'm actually quite surprised that TM got the Warwick endorsement again - great player, but he hasn't got much of a profile any more. Gone are the days when he backed up James Brown, The Pretenders, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Steve Vai, etc.[/quote] MB1. Surprised about T.M?....Im Surprised its taken Warwick So Long to get a Stuart Zender Signature out(which looks awful!)....who does he play for these days????

[quote name='Machines' post='373804' date='Jan 8 2009, 08:40 AM']I can guarantee you that if I got it in for review and I didn't like it that you'd know about it ! I may be an Ashdown fan boy but I will criticise anything I dislike .[/quote] MB1. We'll have no trouble here!...this is a local shop for local people! I too am an Ashdown Fan! and look forward to your review Mac! wonder whos idea the "jolly green giant" logo was?...YO HO HO!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='373870' date='Jan 8 2009, 10:53 AM']I'm not too fussed as it's going to be a practice/back up it has to be better than the Badger I'm using ATM.[/quote] MB1. Bill Oddy has been informed!

[quote name='rayfw' post='373835' date='Jan 8 2009, 09:49 AM']I'm a big MM fan but I don't like those 2 'new' designs at all. I must admit to really liking that stealth 'ray though. They all come across as pretty lazy designs. If they're going to be lazy why not bring back the Sabre or Cutlass?[/quote] MB1. Dont think Getting Harry Hill and Ryan Giggs in to Promote them is gonna work either!....

[quote name='Machines' post='373545' date='Jan 7 2009, 09:45 PM']Still trying to get one in for review - watch this space ![/quote] MB1. .....Could be seen as a blatent attempt to Gain Freebies!...Mr lomenzo!

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='373538' date='Jan 7 2009, 09:40 PM']LOL Martin! There's already a queue forming on that one, would you believe... It's only about a £350 saving on new as well![/quote] MB1. Was thinking more of Richs review of the bass.....than me purchasing it!

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='373529' date='Jan 7 2009, 09:30 PM']Ah well, reality & all that, Martin! Yes, both my 5's have made people rethink their concepts of 5-stringers. The cocobolo one with the phenowood board converted Nick to 5's & me too, to be honest. I never got on with any 5's until the S2's.[/quote] MB1. In all Seriousity Rich!....let us know how you get on with the streamline!.....Curious and Curiouser!

MB1. Looks like the new cars out the window then! That Streamlines gonna make you look like youve got a big gut you know! Must admit the myrtle S2 is the only bass ive thought... i'll try a 5! lets hope youre in the RAC!

MB1. Hello Alex! Did a part ex deal with Alex on an amp,Great Communications,Great Transaction,Great guy to deal with! ......could be a little difficult to find though!..... without the aid of a sat nav! Cheers Alex! Martin.
