I thought the Warwick Zender was expensive, but I'ver just noticed the RRP for the Bootsy model is £5399. How are Warwick justifying this price tag?

I once dated a Stingray. Didn't last. Too cold.

Congratulations. Here's to many more.

Never used one myself. Always thought a metronome was a Parisian dwarf that travelled by underground rail.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='730848' date='Jan 31 2010, 05:44 PM']It really doesn't take a whole lot of effort/brains to look at the new prices and then figure out that you should probably list if for LESS than they sell for new. Also, how on earth is that colour any kind of burst? Once again, the human race continues to astound me.[/quote] Err...I didn't want to say, but my sentiments entirely.

[quote name='Marvin' post='730796' date='Jan 31 2010, 05:10 PM']He fluffs, is that a technique, like slap?[/quote] It's a technique I've used many times.

[quote name='Doddy' post='730785' date='Jan 31 2010, 05:05 PM']As much as I love his playing,he does tend to rush a bit.[/quote] Perhaps he a gig to get to afterwards.

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='730770' date='Jan 31 2010, 04:56 PM']There's one possibility that we may not have considered... I sincerely hope it's not the case.[/quote] He had sex with a chicken? That must have been SOME party!

Perhaps he played Mustang Sally again as an encore and got beaten up.

It's quite endearing to see he actually fluffs at times. Gives hope for us mere mortals.

Interesting but looks difficult. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X1fhVLVF_4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X1fhVLVF_4[/url]

Great gig, too many beers afterwards, sleeping in? Bad gig, too many beers afterwards, behind bars?

I would guess he was extremely high on adrenalin afterwards and sank a few beers.

Is that not a bit too expensive?

Not my favourite issue but still streets ahead of BP. BTW, are those fanned fret basses easy to get used to?

It's political correctness gone mad.

I'd like to comment but I've got a BASBO (Basschat Anti Social Behaviour Order). And it's after 7pm.

A bloke came into our shop and bought his son, who was an acoustic player, his first electric guitar - a Gibson Les Paul Standard at £1800. The beauty of owning a cheap instrument is that you appreciate the difference when you move up to a more expensive one. Spoiled brat? Maybe so. But it makes you wonder what the rich folks buy for their kids. For instance, would Sting buy his kid a Yamaha RBX170 (a great starter bass IMO) or similar? Food for thought.
