ianrendall Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 ...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?

Lozz196 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Make sure I gave it a wide berth so that when it falls over and gets dented I don`t get the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coilte Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'd wonder.. what lunatic leaves such an expensive instrument propped up against an amp, instead of using a decent quality guitar stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdowner Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Play the riff from 'the chain' (badly), loudly proclaim "nah, it's rubbish" and walk away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 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. ☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 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 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 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!'
