Looking at your gear list, you surprise me

I'm hoping some bugger outbids me on this one

As you well know illustrious mentor of Orange valve changes, he's talking cobblers It's a bog standard run Hot Rod, with a couple of bits of cheap tin that will go in the bottom drawer with the others

Cheers Andy. My efforts to get down to two basses lasted, erm, one piggin week

You know that moment when you see a fabulous bass and the lust mist descends? I'm leading the bidding on this. Not going any higher because I just got a bit carried away. Not the end of the world if I don't get outbid http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261232242342?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1372014266' post='2120697'] Ask him if it weighs a quarter of a ton. If it does, it might be a genuine 78... Seriously, though, it doesn't look right to me - my 78 was, as Ash says, block and bound. I'd like to see the neck plate, too - should be a micro-tilt. No bullet truss rod adjuster, either...nope, the more I looky, the less I likey... [/quote] Good spot Muzz!

Cheers Ash. I'm also thinking ebony board and 62'RI stackpots not right as I didn't think the first 62 RI's were until late 80's?

Very tempted by this but something doesn't ring true. Any thoughts please? Cheers, Karl. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130933892252?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1371888402' post='2119103'] I assume you create a new topic in the For Sale section and it will walk you through the process [/quote] This.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1371807515' post='2118312'] Geezer, the personification of 'deadpan'. It's a nice bass but I don't really get the striped pickguard. [/quote] Yup, he was brilliant in that interview

And while we are at it, something nagging me about this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271225104650?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Geezer,NAMM 2013, interesting comments at 1.30 to 1.50. Wants to be good at $4300 http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CDsQtwIwAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DTpdc5wLiWAk&ei=z0vDUfrfLMPChAf2mIDoDA&usg=AFQjCNEYv2eMn_dRJ9czBTrKsee0Wu0UHg&bvm=bv.48175248,d.ZG4

Calming down a bit, I guess I could source a pickguard like that (Bass Doc hopefully). I can very probably get similar inlay/headstock stickers from CC in the States. I have a black Skyline Glaub with Fralin, as a weekend warrior of only 45 ish gigs per year, I can't afford or justify a US Lakky. The Skylines are superb anyway.

Graham. no idea apart from the cosmetics. Dingus, I have an email received from Lakland this afternoon. No plans, period, for a Skyline.

I love Lakland basses. I have waited 30 years for a Geezer signatue model. Lakland are doing one. US spec only at mega bucks. No Skyline for us weekend warriors.
