Maggie Thatcher's handbag went for £20000 and she was the spawn of Beelzebub so imagine how much this will go for Quote

waynepunkdude Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Out of curiosity, how much would a L42 ticket be? Quote
BottomE Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 That bass really is a beauty. How many batteries though? I counted 3. Good luck to him. I reckon the bass will go for £8745.00 Quote

fender73 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 When i just checked, it had 42 bids....how strange Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) [quote name='killswitch2011' post='1283348' date='Jun 26 2011, 08:50 PM']Considering that I was, and have only ever really been, a hard rock/metal musician, this may seem a little odd! But I loved his style, and despite the fact that I never really liked Level 42's music, he got me hooked on the sound of the bass. Within a couple of years, I'd played in several bands, including one which came (iirc) second in an "England Entertains" talent contest, so I must have been reasonably good.[/quote] Me too, and a lot of people overlook his fingerstyle playing too. I think the song Chinese Way is pony but for him to sing and play that bassline is nothing short of amazing. Edited June 29, 2011 by WHUFC BASS Quote
ficelles Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Rock on Mr King, top man for his work for the charity and for not doing his own PR through it. I'm sure Mark has a fair selection of basses but I bet letting that Status go is no small thing... ficelles Quote

Andy Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Yet another 'what a nice bloke Mark King is' story ............................ A few years back he came round to the front of house about an hour before he was due on stage and signed a guitar for me I was blown away by what a down to earth to guy he is and also how much time he had for me considering how close he was to going on stage - we spent a good ten minutes chatting while he even helped me cover his signature with sticky-back plastic! An ansolute top bloke Quote
wombatboter Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Friend of mine was playing upright bass in a hotel lounge around here in Belgium and while playing noticed Mark King sitting at the bar on his own. After playing his first set he dared to say hello and had a friendly chat with King for an hour who turned out again to be a top bloke who was very supportive.. Quote
wombatboter Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Until the last minute 4300...then it went to 6400 £...good money for a good cause, great ! Quote
