[quote name='OldGit' post='91818' date='Nov 20 2007, 09:05 PM']She's 77 now you know [/quote] MB1. Seen her not so long ago! far from 77, rah rah skirt ,the same butter wouldnt melt look! youd still want to make her "walk like an Egyptian".......... trust me!

MB1. Mr Murphy you sly old dude!...... we were but talking about a Rickenbacker on this very forum not so long ago!.I saw this on the bay,it is a very nice looking Rickenbacker,shame i dont have the spare cash for that one.... to visit Manchester.This is a Much sort after model as Rickenbacker dont have that many endorsees,Chris Squire being the most famous one!,not sure Bruce Foxton has a signature model. I reckon this has been pawned and not collected,the cash convertors have become a lot more strict these days, with what they take in.As for the purchase,if id had the money looking in the window at it, id have bought it too, as rare as! so you shouldnt feel too guilty ,keep hold of it , and if you do decide its not for you???????????

[quote name='synaesthesia' post='90925' date='Nov 19 2007, 04:31 PM']Good on you. It's a good bass, you'll get a decent return on it if you sit on it and hang on for a while. I had one of the 4 lefties ever made and sold it to a Yes collector about 5 years ago. It didn't sound any different to my 4001v63 though. Ric signature guitars hold their value, and will go for more if you have the tags etc. As I type I am selling a lefty 360/12v64 to a collector Chicago, and that is not even a signature guitar... but all I will say is I will get a good return on it despite selling it for less that what I can get if I flog it on the bay. FYI, there were 1000 4001CS 's made, and 4 were lefty. The most elusive of all signature models, and the one that fetches the best prices (averaging $10K USD) is the Susanna Hoffs model.[/quote] MB1. For that sort of money i want Susanna Hoffs with it, for the night at least ......delivered to the door!

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='90087' date='Nov 18 2007, 12:24 AM']Hey there, everyone! For those of you who haven't seen or heard one, have a look on YouTube or the Fender website for the videos on the Fender VG series strat. It's a tone modeling guitar with an extra Roland digital pickup, capable of different sounds (guitar types), different tunings, etc. All looks pretty amazing... SHALL WE PETITION FENDER TO MAKE US A BASS VERSION!? I for one would love one![/quote] MB1. Not really interested.......if its only available to vegetarians!

[quote name='Bass_In_Yer_Face' post='66222' date='Sep 26 2007, 11:38 PM']I've always been flabbergasted by Norman Watt Roy on "Hit Me With Your Rythmn Stick" Having seen the guys on youtube playing it, I can safely say that if I played till I was 100 years old I still couldn't play it! [/quote] MB1. Theres quite a few! but i prefer not to play them!

MB1. Calm Down, Calm Down, Calm Down! (Visions of famous T.V sketch Harry Enfield and the Tracksuited Scousers.)

MB1. C.T...... Dont hate them to be honest,was at Aintree guitar show over the weekend and the Guitar Amps were Very Good on the Demo. Just feel theyve never really cut it with bass gear,theyve always seemed to be the cheaper end of the Market for bassists.I know guitarists really rate them,but bass gear?never been my cup of meat im afraid!.

[quote name='David Nimrod' date='Nov 20 2007, 06:46 PM' post='91685'] Aaah, it's all starting to make sense MB1. Actually 70.77% (you caught me on the recount)

[quote name='bass_ferret' date='Nov 4 2007, 10:36 PM' post='83729'] Anyone see McFly tonight on the dance show. Nice LED job on the bass boys Ray but mysteriously no lights at all on the Ashdown stack behing him MB1. Youre not supposed to notice this! Your supposed to be so visually blown away by the pretty lights on the stingray that you dont notice the bassist isnt actually plugged in or indeed playing anything on it!.This however does not work with musicians,bassists or anyone over the age of sixteen!. MARTIN SIM....Go and stand in the corner,facing the wall, and no dinner for you laddie!.

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='90900' date='Nov 19 2007, 03:54 PM']So is there a whole band playing behind the stage cloth? I'm intrigued now.[/quote] MB1. The Band behind the stage cloth are all over 22 years of age, and are visually unpleasant on the eye ,and somewhat frightening to prepubescent young ladies!...............a bit like Mick Hucknall I think!

[quote name='alexclaber' date='Nov 20 2007, 05:49 PM' post='91651'] I find it is really hard to think about music when I'm thinking about gear... Alex MB1. Yes Kiddies! see what Alex did there?....Music....Gear....Controlled Substances?

MB1. Think the Pet Shop Boys sum this topic up pretty well with the line......... "which do you choose a hard or soft option".

MB1. Its taken me years to find my bass!.Mind you i was waiting ages for that Mr king bloke to make his mind up!

[quote name='cheddatom' date='Nov 20 2007, 04:29 PM' post='91588'] Basically, if you need a hard case, you must have erectile dysfunction. MB1. There seems to be a pattern forming here?....basses, cases,and mens penises?

MB1. Looks like you might just be the exception to the rule there Cheddatom!.You still cant beat a hardcase for clearing students and Christmas shoppers from your path,i love the sound of hiscox hitting bone....O...Sorry!

[quote name='cheddatom' date='Nov 20 2007, 03:20 PM' post='91541'] You'd want to inspect the condition of the thing, obviously, but it's not as though my I could do any damage that wouldn't be obvious enough to see. Either way, if you like my 1980 JAYDEE supernatural (no idea what this is) when you play it, you had better buy it and stop worrying about how it's been treated in the past. I could have used it as a masturbation receptical for all you know, but at least I cleaned it off before trying to sell it. It still plays the same. MB1. Very few people are ever going to give you large amounts of money for an instrument that looks like youve been hanging pictures with it.If it looks badly damaged,this reflects on previous owners(who probably have been using it as a masturbation receptical?).Something definately tells me you are not the person i would want to buy a second hand headless Status from, with these strange sexual practices?.

[quote name='cheddatom' date='Nov 20 2007, 02:42 PM' post='91506'] basses aren't really that fragile though. Maybe if you're in a horrific car crash your bass with be knackered, but, you've just come out of a near death experience, probably not that bothered about your bass. Even if it was in a hard case it might not have been saved. I've never been able to afford a hardcase for my bass, as i've always had more pressing things to buy. I've never had any problems with my basses, they get thrown around quite a bit in my car, get squashed between amps and stuff. I know this is going to sound horrific to some of you, but there's no damage. Don't be so protective or your bass will never have any balls! MB1. Now tell me friends!.... would you buy a 1980 JAYDEE supernatural ...off this man?.......One Careful Owner.....Plenty of balls!.....Indeed!

[quote name='Jase' date='Nov 20 2007, 01:02 PM' post='91432'] Nah...you're all barking mad using a soft case for your bass MB1. +TWELVETY..... Its only a matter of time before it ends in tears!......Id be dubious about.... One carefull owner!,Gig bag included!
