StickyDBRmf Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Man you blokes are tough it probably plays and sounds great. Where's your sense of adventure? It's no good 'cause it doesn't have $1000 price tag? I have a bass that I paid $30 US "as is", no strap buttons, one pu dead. Straight neck, took the frets out, sings. Buy it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 No more ugly than the average Fender P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 To me it is. I don't find Fenders particularly good looking, but their proportions are ok, the ratio of body to head and radius of body compared to horn area. This has all those proportions skewed.

Yes, great isn't it. I'll find out later if I've won it at auction😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyBass Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I saw sweet play once, it was about 40 years ago. At the end of the gig they all unplugged and smashed their guitars up. At the time I thought it was such a cliche and a waste of good guitars. Now if I was to form a Sweet tribute band I could use a bass like this at the end of the set to get into the 70s cliche vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 Well, I didn't win it. I put in a max of £21 and it apparently went for £46 so I can only assume that a couple of you drove up to, or down to Norfolk yesterday, scuppered my plans. and are at this moment, burning it. Shame, I feel that we've all lost out in a way🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
