Hmms, well, being a veggie and believing in all things "green", I was pleased to learn that he will not be buried or cremated, rather being recycled as carrier-bags...

The Humour-Meister purges the places others will not retch, err reach...  ;)

Ta, Al... I've always wanted to replace an EB2 copy I had as a first instrument, and this may come within a potential future budgetary range...  8)

I have never, ever played a short scale bass...  :o

Really quite surprised... I checked Terr's link and the prices of Scroll basses are very reasonable for an exotic custom... I remember seeing Mr Burrell playing one, 35 years back, and have remained entranced by them ever since...

This is one of the things about growing older we all have to accept - the passing of people we know and love, and that death is no respecter of age...  :sad: RIP

Ta Mr W

Eye Candy x Cash flow crisis = misery

I think I came across this whilst trawling through the "back-pages" ...

I'll research the links at a later point (just coming up to 3AM here) - I understand the theory but must be tricky to manufacture, and cost accordingly higher...? beautiful finish...

Dearly beloved, we are here today to mourn the passing of EB2...

What a horrible mess... I really have to start to get some of my loft junk down for selling to start building up funds... really goes to show that people will buy any old tat...  :o

Oz humour could never be described as being subtle, A Bret...?

A question my Antipodean cuzzie... have you ever heard of the "farting competion" ("little threep", tripple flutterbalst", & "struth, he's thrown mud...") and who was it by... lost it years back...

Please - I draw the line at Hershey's being dragged through the mud - you have no idea how difficult it is being married to an American and having to try and source regular "Kisses" ...  :sad:

The story over here at the moment is going 2 ways...
1 - Those that bought tickets, directly (ie, not eBay) will get refunds... (bummer for those that payed "over the odds")
... and 2 - should we hate the Brits for "forcing" him to do so many shows...?

When will it be suitable to start spilling the jokes, Dave...? decency and all that aside, I'm with Scott (not ducking, you lilly livered Yankee, get back up here and bring reinforcements...!) as I'm not a fan and never have been - I just accept the fact that he was flawed and sold a lot of product... I will honour any judgement you decree...

I don't have any Beatles in my collection, either...  :o

I so like the colour of that JC...

What is the scale length, Al...? Never seen one of those Gretch's, which looks even shorter...?

Here's a thought... Does anyone have a timeline for "copies" - curious as to where my potential "one-off" comes into the picture...

Don't know about suggestions, Gary, but enlighten me as to what a "Dingwall" is, and Novax...

I lead a sheltered life... before I came here I thought Embassy was a brand of cigarettes...  :o

Oh, suggestions...? why do I keep getting this urge to buy parts to build a reverse Jazz...?
