Ou7shined Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 It does look nice though... well it might if he bothered to clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price of the Status neck he could have bought a decent bass. Hondo gear used to be sold through the Kays catalogue when I was a kid.... I think they also sold bras as well. Someone told me that. I never looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hold on... I've got a black Hondo Precision-copy stuffed with an EMG. £300ish for a Status neck, a little bit for a new pickguard, and I can stick it on eBay for £1k+? It's even got provenance: "played by North-East bass legend Dave Anderson". Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] IIRC (and Dave might correct me if he finds his way onto this thread), it was his first bass, so it'll be the one that he bashed out Buzzcocks and Undertones covers on through his youth. Which probably halves the value again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Can I just mention that, as an avid eBay watcher, this must be at least the THIRD bass to turn up recently that is (allegedly) ex-Haydock. Even if they're genuine, the one aspect of provenance that they all share is a complete lack of any evidence to support the claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikhay77 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Actually it was 'rumoured' to have been played by trigger from only fools n horses.Totally original bass just had 4 different necks and 9 different bodies,but apart from that totally original.

yorks5stringer Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think the 'wedding' may have to be cancelled if he's relying on getting £1500 for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
