I think this is what you'll get from him unless you see it in the flesh first Hamster

It's a '67 Jazz the same as Trigger's broom is original What would be a fair price for it? Hamster

Ahhh, that's not fair. That tune's bugging me now, I've got to learn it. My slapping's getting better but I'm still way off the double-thumbing trick. Going to drive the wife / kids / neighbours / spiders / guinea pigs and any visiting relations bonkers nailing this one :wacko: Hamster

Hi Zoe glad you made it back [url="http://planetsmilies.net"][/url] Hamster

+1 for MarkBass Little Mark II, but into a BFM Omni10. That's a rig I'm seriously consideing ATM. Not a combo, but I'm not a big fan of combos. Hamster

One of many great lines from Aja Hamster

IIRC the Oxford Road station is the closest Hamster

[quote name='Musky' post='81630' date='Oct 31 2007, 11:05 AM']Although making higher offers after the end of an auction is perhaps slightly unethical[/quote] You are being far too polite. [u]The item was sold.[/u] The seller and another then arranged or conspired behind the back of the rightful owner to deprive the rightful owner of [i][u]their[/u][/i] property. It's dishonest, disgraceful and illegal - NOT slightly unethical. The person in current possession of the bass should at the very least give the bass to its rightful owner at the original sold price and offer apologies. Hamster

[quote name='Hamster' post='80913' date='Oct 29 2007, 07:22 PM']Ahhhh - thanks for that then, I won't bother trying to fix my dodgy attempt at an ebay link then Hamster[/quote] You must admit - the marks do look very very similar. The streaks on the neck and the 3 scratches on the scratchplate made me suspicious. Original auction New Item Hamster

Ahhhh - thanks for that then, I won't bother trying to fix my dodgy attempt at an ebay link then Hamster

Ummmmm - looks like it's back on ebay. Hard to be sure, but the streaks in the neck wood look identical? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MusicMan-Sub-5-string-bass-USA-made-by-Ernie-Ball_W0QQitemZ330181727828"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MusicMan-Sub-5-strin...emZ330181727828[/url] Hamster

If he insists you try and play one of his Country & Western compositions without any rehersal at all, then just play this bassline to it. Hamster

Play the easiest 3 you've run through, refuse to play the other 3 and insist on playing Rawhide, Stand By Your Man and I Walk the Line. If he argues, remind him the rugby is on and that's a game played by gentlemen, and a gentleman wouldn't have treated you the way that he's treated you. Hamster

What a bunch of ignorant barstewards! - Maybe a letter to local paper, BBC, rogue traders, local radio etc etc with your story to show ebay up in a bad light? Hamster

[quote name='OldGit' post='75614' date='Oct 17 2007, 03:14 PM']Ha ha yeah but then there are famous tales of that, especially in cars Nova means "it don't go" in Spanish and MR2 pronounced in French means poo ...[/quote] Don't forget the Mitsubishi Starion - the next one up from the Colt. I think they do more work on the names now, or it would have been marketed as the "Frying" bass. Hamster

That's it, I'm going to start selling "Peckham Spring" water. Hamster

Damn! - I wasn't planning to sell one of my kidneys until I was a bit older :wub: Hamster
