To be fair, I imagine there's a bit of demand for a P with blocks. Should Fender ignore it?

[quote name='bh2' post='1294265' date='Jul 6 2011, 07:52 AM']Blocks on a P? in the seventies? I don't think so.[/quote] Ha ha.. poor Fender. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

This has been around for a few days now, but I don't think we've done it yet.. apologies if I've missed it. [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/products/search.php?partno=0266202300"]More info here.[/url]

Awesome.. how did that come about? Given that Jerry Scheff lives down the road from you, it's even cooler that you got the phone call and he didn't.

....so on behalf of some of the other members on this thread, sorry to the OP if you got the impression some of us have no sense of humour.

I have no idea who the bloke is. I just thought it was an awesome thread.

Fender-wise, the only 'factory' examples I can think of were a matching special order LPB and CAR pair, that had bound necks and matching headstocks that popped up a while ago. They [i]looked[/i] real enough. Lovely.

[quote name='silddx' post='1292776' date='Jul 4 2011, 09:49 PM']The player CLEARLY has taste, certainly in this video.[/quote] I disagree. Even if I put my slap-head on(!) I actually think he's a bit too busy.

I always liked this...

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1291496' date='Jul 3 2011, 09:44 PM']maybe he could post something playing the style of music you like... we would all be happy?? [/quote] I was clumsily trying to make a point to Pete. Sometimes it's hard to get excited about technical ability if, musically, it ain't ringing your bell.

I had an idea in my head what Greenslade sounded like, and it was nothing like this. Quite enjoyable, that.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1291401' date='Jul 3 2011, 08:20 PM']What about the bass playing? I think the criticism about the backing track is a bit harsh. The guy is obviously very good.[/quote] Maybe, but I'd like to hear him posting something worth listening to.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1288671' date='Jul 1 2011, 09:55 AM']Correcting factual inaccuracies would still be better done by PM....[/quote] I agree, but if the seller chooses to ignore it, then they're fair game IMO.

I can understand the price thing, but I still disagree with this bit 100%. [quote]4. If you have a concern with the authenticity/originality/provenance/description etc of an item for sale, do not comment on the seller's thread as these comments will be removed by a moderator. If you believe an item to be fraudulent then please PM a moderator and we will do our best to arbitrate - otherwise simply move along.[/quote] This makes no sense, IMO.

Worry not, people! The gig I did with them was a wedding. Same set, pretty much. It was all fine.

[quote name='BottomE' post='1287632' date='Jun 30 2011, 01:11 PM']I am guessing that whoever booked the band have seen them before? (but £50 ??? for 7 hours)[/quote] It sounds crazy, but these guys are just happy to play. You know the sort... dead enthusiastic and that.

Ha.. I've been there with the same band. Canny lads, they are...! I hate that Emotional Fish song. I'd never heard of it either. Rescue Blues is nice...

[quote name='Clarky' post='1286690' date='Jun 29 2011, 05:21 PM']Apologies - who is it, w-o-t or PURPOLARIS?[/quote] Lovely, lovely Kate Middleton. Or whatever she's called these days...

[quote name='Clarky' post='1286685' date='Jun 29 2011, 05:17 PM']Ozzy Osbourne in a kilt? Each to their own[/quote] Aww... you've spoiled it for me.

[quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='1286676' date='Jun 29 2011, 05:14 PM']I was the one that suggested it.................................. as a solution if he wants to keep the sticker. Personally I've never bought a new Fender and never will, I let other people take the hit on the depreciation. The sticker would never be an issue for me [/quote] Sorry.. I didn't hear a word. I'm too busy gazing at your avatar.
