Hellzero Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 John Wetton (may he rest in peace, even after that) would have been jalous ! Holy mother of toilet seat, is it possible to be so stupid and selfish ? Quote
itsmedunc Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Bass to left upper at 16 sec. What happened the the pups? Edited April 16, 2018 by itsmedunc Quote
TheGreek Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 If I could make a bass sound like that I'd give up...that was horrid!!! Quote
lemmywinks Posted April 16, 2018 Posted April 16, 2018 Bit disappointed it hasn't had any tuners swapped out for odd coloured ones, no inappropriate pickups wedged into existing routs, no random volume or tone knobs from a different guitar and most imprtantly no strings removed to make it a 2 string bass for men who do manual labour (and obviously all have huge fingers with no hand to eye co-ordination). Missed opportunity there methinks, still it goes without saying that the action will be within the breadth of a gnats hair of a nun's mantlepiece, or something. Rather sadly a lot of the guitars he has up for sale are the same ones he had a year ago. 1 Quote

Not all of them. There are seemingly enough sympathetic and generous supporters out there to keep him ticking over: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/mdphillips1956mark/m.html?item=192495855877&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2046732.m1684 Quote
lemmywinks Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 I remember a lot of them from the last time I looked, that Washburn bass has been listed for a while. Browsing through those sold listings I see someone has paid over £300 for this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wide-neck-electric-guitar-for-big-hands-Peavey-PCGC-/192440230917?hash=item2cce54e405%3Ag%3AuC4AAOSwYVlaRShi&nma=true&si=ti6zvM5%2FcFms5S4QvWcmVDLZgN8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Difficult to say anything without seeming mean spirited (and MDP seems like a nice enough bloke) but I hope the buyer doesn't ever need to resell that at any point.

lemmywinks Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Although the listing does mention "Easy for brick layer and farmer fingering" so maybe he has a different audience in mind? 1 Quote
Count Bassy Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 I don't actually stand up for Mr Philips, but in the past I have felt a bit uncomfortable at the way tat people here jump on the band wagon of slagging him off. Seems a bit like kicking a man when he's down. However: That clip is appalling. Why would anyone post something like that of themselves? Does make you wonder if he actually watched it before posting it. Quote
