Where are you in Roi? Dublin had a few (what's that big guitar shop?), inc those fellas who deal in vintage gear, Some Neck. I was in Galway a couple of years back and saw a couple. Moloney's had some good stuff, albeit trad. Blackrock Music, up near Dundalk, is a shadow of its former self.

Big-up Bass Direct! The Hipshot arrived this morning and is now fitted. Came with two, spare intonation screws, one of which I am going to need right away as the G saddle only goes so far back before halting. Time to get the strings back on.

I concur with your Rick-porno plan. And let's not forget that Wee John looks not unlike Ron Jeremy!

JH once went into flap about non-RIC Rick bomber jackets. Real tacky '80s jobs. Can't say I blamed him for that!

SOLD - Now £1600 - 2011 Fender Custom Shop 1960 Jazz Bass
NikNik replied to Sparky Mark's topic in Basses For Sale
They got the TT burst correct on that one. It's a beauty. Can never understand why Fender didn't put the hootenanny button on the CS models when they were present on the AVRIs. And shame they don't do clay dots any longer; I love the aged look. Anyway, GLWS. That's one of the best looking stack-pots I've seen. -
Dear grief!!

As a kid I'd go holidaying to my relations up in the Western Isles and these poor things were used to haul peats home from the moors. The drivers used to bounce around on that seat. Must have done wonders for one's spine! Classic thread!

Phuq, I thought that was Phillip Green in the other photo that you posted! I need to go to Specsavers. Cool T-shirt, though. Floyd '77.

Sorry, on the moby and can't make that out for sure. Is that a frottage session in the KitKatKlub in Berlin??
-
Did any of you drive that thing? The weird steering wheel that was an attempt at emulating an F1 steering wheel? I did, in the late '80s. Awful car....

Clearly been studying Billie Bob Thornton's look.

On a lighter and more disparate note, what is Davros doing on BBC, reporting from the Old Bailey? He fair scrubs up, as they say.
-
Locomotive, I believe.

I met him once at an event. He was extremely cordial. True story.

Would to God that he were! Stop enabling me, please!😜

Anyway.....it hasn't been proved that JH is not still at the helm of RIC; he'll be guiding it on his death-bed, I should wager. Good on him. Hopefully he'll have learned some manners, embraced progress, and gained a few more customers in the process. I'd like to be one of the latter again. One day.

Fella - I have been personally insulted by Hall. I can't stand the man. He is fair game in my books.
-
So would I. And turn it into an RM1999. Have to be 2nd hand, though.
-
Yeh, you're right about bullying. But JH wouldn't bat an eye about that. As the song says, 'Money changes everything.'
-
Gotcha. You're spot on. Still....
-
Hankie J had had to go. Shitbird X? He had go to after that. And the home audio. And the robotuners. And the top half of a Canadian Tuxedo.
-
Indeed. I mean, if you were a woman would you tap this??
-
Bridge ordered from Bass Direct! Thx for input, fellas.
-
I'd settle for the bass you have described. Some of those '60s examples are droolworthy. BTW, Bassassin, check out the sold Ibby 2388BDX on Edinburgh GuitarGuitar. Oh, yeh. I can see JH doing My Lai with Action Man.

The family owns a bank as well. Guitars are Wee John's hobby.
