yorks5stringer Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Once owned by the Bassist with "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown" perhaps? Quote
MarkG3 Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Er, I think the pickup cover is slightly off by a few mm? Quote

ahpook Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1411768582' post='2562750'] One from the Steve Marriott collection? [/quote] You're a bad man...but I laughed. Quote
itsmedunc Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Why did he put on new WIlkinson and Fender parts, then set fire to them? Quote
KingBollock Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I've got a record sleeve that looks like that. It used to be used for rolling spliffs on. Quote

Grangur Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 If he thinkd it looks so cool and sounds so great, why's hw selling it? Quote
great harry Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 It looks like it didn't survive the 50s to me. Quote
HowieBass Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 The previous owner hadn't looked after it thus demanding the unique refurbishing... f*ck knows what it looked like previously then (probably a rather nice looking bass). Quote
BetaFunk Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I rather like the idea of a scratchplate being used as an ashtray. Quote
TheGreek Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Didn't his mum ever tell him not to play with matches?? Quote
JJW Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Wow, the price has shot up to higher than I would ever think of paying! Quote
TheGreek Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) I've just noticed the bridge - why are the saddles on the D and G strings so high??? Twisted neck?? Edited September 28, 2014 by TheGreek Quote
alyctes Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 well, if it goes for about £40 then I suppose the buyer might be able to break for parts. Maybe. Quote
