Westone Raider (Who's in a Glam Rock band?)

[Maude]

This is amazing. If I was in a Glam Band I'd be all over this. 

A funky shaped, silver glitter P bass, what's not to like? 

Be interesting to see how much it gets too.

To answer my phone own question, neck dive presumably, but you can't have everything. 😉

But if you're wearing platform shoes, presumably it won't hit the floor!

I had one of them, the red & black one, my second bass after the truly dreadful thing that was a Kay P bass. Well, it was the 80's at the time.

Liking that, especially the “2 tone” silver finish 

[dudewheresmybass]

Likewise. 
I think it looks amazing

Blimey...if you fell downstairs carrying that, there'd only be one winner... 😕

I do kinda like it, tho...

Still no bids.

Could double up as a harpoon, if you prefer your tuna fresh...

[Maude]

I'm actually thinking it's more metal than glam now as it is very pointy.

Perfect for glam metal then. Is there any call for a Hanoi Rocks tribute?

I saw Michael Monroe's band a couple of years ago when he supported Alice Cooper. Absolutely fantastic gig!

He needed a radio mic though. He spent the entire gig running all over the place with a roadie chasing around after him untangling the mic lead from amps, stands, and the drum kit, hilarious. Fantastic energy.

His band is fantastic and they're all really nice blokes too. I think Andy is a bit, ahem, odd but Michael, Sami and Nasty are all really down to earth. Sami particularly has done a lot to promote bass and does a really interesting series called Sound Tracker where he looks at music from around the world. Over the years he's played with a range of cool people and is probably my bass idol. I would rather have had his career than some of the bigger names.

I suppose harpooning some lentils might not be so fulfilling. 🙂

More skillful though. 😁

It didn't sell. No bids. So he's relisted it as Buy It Now priced a tenner higher than no one offered the first time. 🤔

One of these was my first bass. I really, really regret selling it (financial difficulties, that weren’t caused by me, forced me to sell it) I would kill to get my hands in another.
