Yeah, regardless , it looks stunning and extremely well made. Personal taste, but to me it looks way better style wise than any standard shape Ricks

Was the luthier a tad naughty putting a Rick decal on the headstock ?

I always thought these basses were called the Fender A/E bass ? Different headstock though... https://reverb.com/item/10608106-fender-a-e-acoustic-electric-precision-bass-1990-sunburst

Fraid not SB

Not for me Mike - i thought you said he'd finally contacted you, and assumed that deal was going through, ( you didnt say otherwise ) which is why i said dont sell it to someone else, as i had previously said when he had disappeared PS i made a point long ago not to get dragged into joining Farcebook, and i have no idea what HMT is

Yup, legally i'm not sure how it works, which is why i stipulated i could be wrong. So how do you come by the info that it's not a contract to buy ?

Agreed, a conundrum indeed. But the idea is that it's an auction, and if you bid and win it's yours. But because it's unseen auction, this is where it gets weird, as you rightly say Then again, there's a sneaky way round Ebay's banning of phone numbers and addresses in ebay messaging. I've used it myself. And until they catch on, i still use it

I always thought that regarding an Ebay auction, if you won it without checking it first, that's the buyers problem, and you've basically bought it unseen. AFAIK, you dont get to bid and win, then check it out to see if you want it. Just my interpretation of Ebay rules - could be wrong though

Great post

That aint too minging, but the afterthought of a control panel spoils it badly

Think you'll find mr sense of humour bypass , who hasn't posted in over 2 months since his meltdown, is actually absent from the list.

Jeeeeeeeeeez, dont sell that bass to someone else !!

Strangely, i'm in a funk band .. ' What The Funk ' ( seriously ) and i dont play any of them as per the original, because we're not a tribute band. An approximation is fine , as we're just a covers band. Long as you get the feel, and maybe close enough to the original, i say ( IMO ) that it's good enough. A good drummist is required. Tight, not too much flash, and certainly no shed builder. Playing with a good funk drummer is a joy to behold

The request seems to be missing reggae and metal and hip hop

In which case, spend the deposit and sell the bass to someone else

Bush is quirky, insofar as that she does not posess a mainstream vocal. She's very distinctive and pretty unique. But then i feel the same way about Dylan and others, like Tom Waits and John Martyn. Quirky and distinctive.

Never drink out of an empty glass

Is it good for Country ?

He can play, natch, it's just not musical. Then again, it may be that he's just in teaching mode, who knows. That rediculous keyboard ruined it. Someone should be shot

Some things will never change

yeah, i couldnt figure that one out. Wonder if it was intentional or a mistake

I sort of like it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roberts-Skeleton-Electric-Acoustic-Bass-guitar-Very-Rare/283310916173?hash=item41f6a5824d:g:PRAAAOSwm51cATLx

I didnt miss it, mostly because i never seemed to get beyond a level...i just seemed to plateau. I also got fed up dragging so many bits and pieces to and from gigs, and the space they took up. I actually found bass an easier instrument to play. First time with a band playing bass was a revelation. I still mess around on a kit occasionally, but would never go back to it
