anzoid Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Well, when you all get bored of your copies (as if...) you know who to send them to - the queue is growing longer Edited April 21, 2019 by anzoid Added something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floFC Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I wrote to Amazon Customer Service to get an explanation (why cancel my order and get the book back on sale within 2 weeks) - and got none, really. The book is however no longer on sale by Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be hard to beat the £15 it was going for on Amazon... but £30 isn't horrendous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I ordered mine on Jan 1st and it finally turned up on Monday. I feel gutted for anyone who ordered and had it cancelled as it's a lovely thing to sit and go through. Not sure we needed 50 pages on the Jazz bass alone but the pictures are amazing.

duckman Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) After Amazon.uk 's cancellation, on April 15 I ordered from RareWaves (a 2nd party dealer on Amazon) . This Morning my GLBBB arrived packaged in -horror, horror - a thin plastic foil(!). But finally it's here. Bass porn Bonanza I noticed It's already the second print, but it is worth every cent. 15 GBP would have been a steal, but for 55 GBP I don't feel cheated. Still, Amazon deserves a couple of flames, if you ask me. Edited April 26, 2019 by duckman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubit Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) I can’t wait but Mrs Ubit has told me not to buy it as it may be a birthday present. I’m not sure if she knows how long it takes ! Edited April 26, 2019 by ubit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno1981 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Got my copy yesterday. It’s quite a tome, it’s much bigger and heavier than I was expecting. A quick flick through and it looks great. It says he only started collecting vintage basses in 2012! Not long to acquire so many, and so many custom coloured Fenders. This features 250 of the most interesting basses in his collection, so how many does he own! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visog Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) It's an interesting browse/read... Weirdly, aside monetary value, I'd probably only covet from his collection, a vintage jazz and maybe a good modern version, a tasty clanky Rick and the Wal 5. The weird and the rare don't really do it for me... Collection-wise, I think I'm more in the Entwistle camp who had the jazz's, P's and Ricks but also the Alembic, Warwick and Statii...
