Harrods, Roger Waters and BB. King

[timmo]

In Harrods yesterday, they had a beautifully cased bass that was owned by Roger Waters and a guitar that BB. King used. The Roger Waters Fender apparently used during The Wall with Pink Floyd was $9995 and the BB. King Epiphone guitar was only £6995.If i had the money i would buy them even if overpriced.If you are ever in London, it is worth a look as they are peices of art the way they are mounted. It is in the millionaires roww in the technology department

Wrong. The guys that put them up for sale would know that the history of them would bump the price up. They will likely get a cut of the sale price.The feel of them might not be right for you or me but their ownership makes them special.

Not a bad life is it where GAS will ALWAYS give you a profit margin like that? We shouldn't forget, however, Harrods will be taking a good% cut in profit.

Sam, sorry that my weak attempt at humour went over your head

I took the girls into Harrods earlier in the year and couldn't find the music department.

[/quote] Me thinks the girls found it straight away. They made sure YOU didn't.... you forget, women have an instinct for these places.

The girls both play guitars, so would have been happy to find it too . We were knackered by that point though (been in the Natural History Museum most of the day), so didn't search the whole place.

OK, I stand corrected
