I haven't read the thread, but no doubt like us, thousands of bands across the globe dedicated a song to him last night. We changed our opener. Thanks for everything big man RIP.

[quote name='ebenezer' timestamp='1414249699' post='2587503'] the adam clayton jazz looks nice!!...for £1600, nitro finish would have been good but I suppose you can't have everything [/quote] It does, but Thomann not due until December?

[quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1414223304' post='2587170'] That is interesting, top dollar for basses with added covers and screw holes. Rare but altered, sounds familiar.... [/quote] EDIT. I notice Cotswoldguitars have a nice one up on FEEBay, with Fender stamped in the actual neck pocket

I've seen two go for that on FEEBay about 3 years ago. Post #8 in the following thread is also quite interesting [url="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CC8QFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbasschat.co.uk%2Ftopic%2F174713-pair-of-1st-series-fender-jv-basses-pj-uber-rare%2F&ei=RctKVOGPE7T57AaS8YGoDA&usg=AFQjCNFDfLUb-XehPuu5fQSJUCLaE55iCQ"]Pair of 1st series Fender JV Basses (P&J) Uber rare ...[/url]

[quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1414181618' post='2586927'] Always nice when the good guy wins �� [/quote] Might not quite be the case yet.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1414179686' post='2586888'] [size=5]****!![/size] [/quote] That was it Thank God for discreet, you always cheer me up bud (even if you did flog your Limelight )

Ho hum, VERY interesting chaps and thank you for that. I had a feeling there was a bit of, erm, not quite right-ness going on . I have also seen knocked up JV plates on FEEBay and I figured something was nudging the back of my mind. My thanks to you all, cheers, Karl.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1414179105' post='2586872'] Very, very nice. Why weren't you going to post on BC again, btw? PM me. [/quote] It'll be something you said

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1414178614' post='2586859'] I said I was never going to post on BC again but my Limelight P is ready and it should be logged IMHO so: CAR with maple, parchment scratchplate and Trubass strings. I collect it in week 2 November. [/quote] Oh Lordy, THAT is gonna thump Congrats and enjoy when the time comes.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1414176604' post='2586819'] Erm, he's responding to a satire of audio woo which was deliberately as wrong as possible in as many ways as possible. Was this not obvious when it was a post pretending to sell green tape that you stick on your bass saying that it would make your bass sound better? It's looking to me as there has been a severe case of *whoosh* here. That the tape absolutely does not work, and could not work in the way described was the entire point. [/quote] Don't be ridiculous. It's green tape, of course it works

I have been offered a couple of these as trades recently. I know they are deemed as legendary and a couple of years back were swapping hands at north of £1500. I think I read somewhere that the ultra rare 1st lot with big Fender, little Squier on the headstock, ALL had made in Japan in little writing on the headstock. IE, they didn't have made or crafted in Japan at the back, heel, of the neck. Have I read wrong experts? Thanking you in anticipation Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1414082679' post='2585669'] Same bass but the Ibanez ones fetch the premium price....what's in a name eh? [/quote]

We can only release a cd if this works for us (Kickstarter). We have around 950 likes on Facebook and in 11 days have received 23 pledges/backers. Of those 23, around 10 are bands/relatives. We are looking to raise £1250 to re-record old stuff and put it on a cd with newly written stuff. Even though the new stuff is getting nightly airplay from internet radio stations, both sides of the pond, it just ain't happening. We are up to £367. By my reckoning at least £200 of that is band related. We are all oldish geezers, not really up on modern marketing. The band concerned (Troyen) were asked to reform for one festival (3 original members plus me). There are more gigs with decent size audiences, but to be honest they pay bugger all, no more than doing a regional pub on a Fri/Sat night. And not as local! Can't help but feel the lads are getting a bit carried away on "glory days" and that the whole thing is becoming too much pay to play. NOT my bag. Kickstarter seemed a great idea but I think a "likes" base of 950 is about 3000 short Good luck with your endeavours.

Call me old fashioned (and probably wrong) but weren't they the same bass, same factory, different name inlaid? Memory is fading but? I remember trying a new Antoria BE out in Williams in Darlington, chose the Kasuga Rick instead because even then I was scared of the Black Eagles "whole lotta Rosie" weight .

Interesting. Wonder if this is the one that sold, from Paisley, earlier in the year, at around £150? Had the same broken bit.
