  1. Cool story - thanks for sharing!
  2. Quite. And let's not forget that to many of us, playing music is all about emotion - it's not just a clinical activity whose sole purpose is to convey sound to others.
  3. Yep, there's the investment angle as well. I bought a pair of Maruzczyks over the last couple of years - great basses both, but I have to accept that I'm going to lose money if/when I come to sell them (as I've already done with one). Because I've only really had vintage stuff in recent years, it's a new experience, and it hurts a bit.
  4. Like I say, all other things being equal :-)
  5. A battered two-year-old bass isn't going to have the glow of a-45 year-old instrument* - it's going to look like a battered two-year-old bass. *Unless it's skilfully relic'd.
  6. I haven't read the thread - apologies - but my view is this: All other things being equal, IMO this: ...looks a million times nicer than this:
  7. That video of the drummer who was at the wrong gig was mint, though. That should have stayed.
  8. Location, location, location. Unless you’re prepared to take a router to the body... save up and buy a P.
  9. Great drummer. Fairly tedious public persona, through.
  10. Did someone say heft?
  11. Limelight 62-ish Jazz. Bought from someone who knew it wasn't a real Fender, sold to me who knew it wasn't a real Fender, then sold it on to someone who kew it wasn't a real Fender. Such a trail of destruction.. so many suffering kittens and puppies. I'm going to hell.
  12. Can’t wait for mine :-)
  13. OMG... it's still going! I'm going to check back in a couple of days and see if it's still alive. If I was a betting man..
  14. If we acknowledge that Prowla feels strongly about something that the vast majority of BC don't give two hoots about, can we forget all this and move on? Can we? Please?
  15. First beans, now fish? Good cod.
  16. Right. So it's a problem for Fender, then. I'm sure they'll deal with it if it's bothering them.
  17. Forgive me for the bluntness, but... so what?
  18. Who is being deceived by these?
  19. Yeah, I think that's what's happened.
  20. I'm still not seeing any concrete examples of someone being deliberately deceived. Can you provide? As for reporting future attempts... absolutely do that - that's what the report button and the mods are here for. If we crack on like this, everyone will be happy, and no kittens or puppies will die.
  21. It's also your pitch to the powers that be (of which I am not one) that they make a significant change to their policy. You're going to need a stronger case than 'I think something happened somewhere but I'm not sure'.
  22. Right. Tell me - do you have any plans to appear on Dragons' Den?
  23. Can you post links to BC threads to illustrate the depth of this problem?
  24. And what problem would this approach solve? How would it improve the Basschat experience?
