obbm Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 That is just pure wanton vandalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macko1968 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Agreed. I see in the questions part at the bottom one my biggest bug-bears, some moron who doesn't know when to use "except" and "accept". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Y'know, someone got that back from the luthier's and thought "God, it looks [i]so[/i] good now." sigh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I've seen far too many crimes against innocent basses - it's driven me to drink, and I'm off for a very large scotch right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 And people used to rip out their old fireplaces too......... Time has a habit of turning 'reasonabe' acts into wanton vandalism, and I suspect this may have been done when this was just another second hand bass - and didn't have the cache it would have now. My old physics teacher actually had an original Rivoli - which he had bought in Liverpool in the mid 60s, when he was a very early Beatles fan, and I played it a few times at school. It was a lovely guitar, but with his preferred flat wounds (unchanged for about 15 years) it just thumped - no treble at all - very McCartney I suppose. He used to use a graphic pedal to try and get some top end, but, given that he used an AC50 head and a 1x18 Vox cab, it was hoping a bit. Lovely guy - haven't seen him for years, and I hope he and his Rivoli are doing better than this one. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
