police squad Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'll keep you posted Drax. I've got a mid 70s P bass and I love the neck on that. I love big necks anyway. Roll on tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, if the neck really is big dimensions, I might just bow out of my order with Thomann, as I know it will become an ornament, then an expensive loss. Wonder if PMT Manchester are getting them in???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Coffee Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I love 'arry and his choice of bass, but it's West Ham. . . . . . I'd get slated for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was going to say something about this (knowing of your proclivities) but didn't want you to think I was doing so just because I don't particularly like the bass!

chief_mclean Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1426852418' post='2722689'] Interesting thought. I have sold all my US Fenders and my Rick 4004 and ONLY gig my 2 Mex Fenders listed below. BECAUSE BOTH are fabulous gigging basses. Your comment is one that has bored the tits off me for years now and really your are just looking for a bit of attention. Well, ya got it. [/quote] Such a harsh response to a simple question. Why?

[/quote] If it's any of your business.... The thread (I guess) was set up as a celebration of anticipation. It wasn't set up for somebody to derail with the usual monthly opinionated bollocks of "All Mex are sh*te". It's unnecessary trolling. He could have deleted his loaded question, chose not to, and invited what you would call a harsh response. Your questioning of me is also a derail. PM me if you have anything to say. Karl.

ubit Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I just think it's a ridiculous way to narrow your sales , by plastering a football teams colours all over a guitar! I would maybe buy a S.H. Bass, but not with West Ham all over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttitudeCastle Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Think it was done on 'Arrys request, and the bass was delayed as getting the licence from West Ham took a very long time, as those license are hard to get, and expensive and slow to deal with as Footie clubs are pretty bad for that stuff. The logo is painted on and finished over, not a sticker, I "believe"? (Someone clarify? Could be wrong on that!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbunney Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I was hoping to get this from Andertons too, but they only got one in stock and "Police Squad" beat me too it They're not now due in stock again at Andertons until the end of May and GAK until August, apparently Fender have completely sold out! Thomman have them due early April for nearly £100 cheaper than UK prices, but I've never ordered from there before and am a bit reluctant to order something so expensive from another country where I can't easily take it back. Looks like its a waiting game..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
