Beedster Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I was expecting lots of Precisions. Quite a few Rics and Gibsons so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) No, scrap that, Magazine, Lurkers & Vibrators on Rics. They look so wrong in punk? Edited June 8, 2012 by Beedster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnacleBob Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Lurkers are still on the go! Portsmouth on the 16th! BB PS this is what the alphabet would look like if they eliminated the letters Q and R. Also ricks seem to be winning so far.

jezzaboy Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 How could they afford Ric`s? I assume that they were as expensive then as they are now? Did they nick em? Buy them with their record advance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Rics way ahead of Precision (although the definition of 'Punk' is quite loose). Not a Jazz to be seen either How did they afford them? They're probably all Fakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Saw a Shergold earlier. I also understand now why I had to get a Les Paul Special double-cut. Everyone had one then!
