So what would you do..

[ianrendall]

...if you walked into a bass dealership after selling your Rickenbacker and found an £11,000 Fodera propped up against and amp (with a smiley face EQ) next to a music stand?

[White Cloud]

Buy it and take it home...?

[Lozz196]

Make sure I gave it a wide berth so that when it falls over and gets dented I don`t get the bill.

[Coilte]

I'd wonder.. what lunatic leaves such an expensive instrument propped up against an amp, instead of using
a decent quality guitar stand.

[Norris]

Play the "may I help you" riff?

(Wayne's World quote)

[lowdowner]

Play the riff from 'the chain' (badly), loudly proclaim "nah, it's rubbish" and walk away?

[Number6]

I think i would peruse the bass as a highly crafted instrument looking at all of the fine detailing.
Inwardly i would take gratification from the fact that i bought a bass i am very happy with for 10 1/2 grand less.

Ask if it was any good for metal

[Bobthedog]

Pick it up, play something very badly and put it on the stand?

[JoeEvans]

Buy a soft case then just walk over, zip the Fodera in, stroll out and see if anyone notices?

[Deep Thought]

Ignore it-it's no use to me.

[ahpook]

Wonder if I'd been wrong all these years about flashbacks being a myth....

Carry on through to the drum department and tap some cymbals, softly.

[RandomBass]

Eye the Fodera briefly, then ask if they have any Yamaha BB's in?

[ianrendall]

Not REALLY sure why I started this thread. It was a kind of portmanteau of several classic threads of the past few weeks.

[gafbass02]

That sort of thing happens all the TIM

[Big_Stu]

Ask what's so special about a hat for it to cost £11k.

[KevB]

Tippex out the first '1', take it to the counter when the least on the ball staff member is on it. Purchase for £1K, straight to ebay for a handsome profit and spend the money on things you really need.

[JTUK]

Look at it, maybe ask if I could pick up.. but would tell them I wasn't interested in buying it...as couldn't afford it.

[/quote]lol!

[DaytonaRik]

I'm in the wrong shop if there's a Fodera in there!

[toneknob]

I'd flatten the EQ.

[discreet]

Hang around for a bit, wait for someone to ask what I wanted... after about fifteen minutes waiting to no avail, feel a bit light-headed, hang around for a few minutes more, then leave and buy a newspaper. Then go to the nearest greasy spoon for egg on toast, bacon, sausage and mushrooms. Then go home to watch Bargain Hunt while feeling a little bit sick.

[skej21]

Id stand back from the Fodera for a brief moment and wait to watch it fall, pin balling between the music stand and the amp it was left up against before watching it smash into the floor. Id then wait for the assistant to come over and find the unsalvageable Fodera, look at me and Id say; 'things could be worse... I could still be the owner of a R***en****er!'
