  1. I like his reviews, and I'm glad he's back, but I never heard him say anything bad about anything he'd been sent to review... Maybe he was just choosy with what he reviewed. I dunno.
  2. As am I, but I think the above is a thing of beauty. I reckon the old P must have looked like it was from outer space back in '51, too.
  3. That's beautiful. I couldn't get away with playing something like that - I'd look ridiculous - but it's awesome.
  4. I've never seen that decal before, and the whole thing looks a little shonky to me.
  5. Yeah, c'mon... let's hear what you've got.
  6. Aye, I'm a sheep too.
  7. In 35 years of gigging, I've had three basses fail on me during a gig. One was a '71, the other two were less than a year old at the time.
  8. I don't think anyone buys a vintage Fender in the hope that it will be £x000 better than a £500 bass. If they do, they're misguided. It's about collect-ability, romance, and (possibly) investment.
  9. I'm getting on with it very well indeed! It sounds fantastic, but I couldn't say how much - if any - of it is down to special early 60s sauce. It's just a great sounding P. I got lucky.
  10. ..or maybe just reshaped..? Terrible photos don't help.
  11. Guard is a replacement.
  12. This has pooped up in the last day or so...
  13. At the risk of being pedantic, your hand is still on the neck.
  14. Yeah.. I agree. Most unlike him. I’ll ask the question...
  15. Actually, even though I haven't had access to one of these for six months now, my heart still sings when I look at pictures of them. I need to raid the piggy bank.
  16. Leszek's just sent me some pics of the slightly facelifted WB-100. As well as the original case format, it looks like you can now get it rackmountable and also 'naked'.
  17. It seems someone did, maybe around two years back:
  18. I wonder if Geddy is feeling the pressure now? 😄
  19. DG is just completely awesome. It's great that both him & Roger are getting knee-deep in trying to make a difference (whether you agree with some of the causes or not).
  20. Yup - Queen's stock is higher than it's been in a couple of decades, and a significant amount of credit for that has to go to Taylor and May for keeping the flame burning.
  21. Quick update - the bass' previous owner has been in touch. He'd owned it since 1982 - he was glad to see that I'm gigging it, and it's not just hanging it on a wall. It was nice to find out a bit more about its history.
  22. And, while we're on the subject of cool keyboard players... (terrible video in general, but check out 1m30s especially)
  23. Let's not forget this one. The Keyboard player SUCH A DUDE.
  24. This I would have posted this if you hadn't already.
  25. See also Ray Jackson vs. Rod Stewart - still unresolved, but I suspect we haven’t heard the last of it.
