Hey Y'all,
I'm going to have to sell my Epiphone Explorer bass, I just can't seem to fall in love with the gigantic (to me) size of the thing.
I thought I'd see if there was any interest here before I put it on ebay.
It is one of the Korena models from the 90's, everyone here probably knows the specs but it has a set neck, 34" scale etc,etc,etc.
I am the second owner and it's in pretty damn good shape no real dings or goobers, I have the humungus case for it too.
I'd like to get around 450 for it.
BTW I see these have been reissued, my GC has a black one. Talk about a bad time to sell... :rolleyes:
I think we need pics! ;)
I think you are right Mark,
I'll see what I can do when the wife gets back from her deep sea adventure... with the camera.
She has been swimming with seals (no not S.E.A.L.s but she is a combat medic) in San Diego for the last few days. I got to stay home and work :rolleyes:
I may be tempted by pics, but then who isn't ;)
Pics of the wife, Mark? :o Not you!
I'm not married Uwe ;)
Would my GF do?

So you have given up on the fellow overseas? ??? Does your new person of interest have a bunch of Gibosn basses too? ;D
Well, I tried. It's not like we have pics of seal-swimming combat medics of the other sex here everyday!
HA! Too funny Uwe :mrgreen:
you know, having an adventure seeking wife is pretty sweet most times, hard to keep up with her but lots of fun as well.
There are some down sides... imagine how many cool guitars I could buy with all the money we've spent on knee surgery's! (actually, Uncle Sam picked up the tab for most of them)
here she is...
Now if only that picture would actually work!
I'll keep trying...
Don't have facebook access, Edith always tells me it's no place she wants me to hang around!
So far, Photobucket is easiest place I've found to set up pix for free.

He (Chris P.) claims to be *working* as if!
I think he dumped me and didn't tell :-\
Don't worry Mark... someone as gorgeous as you won't be lonely for long... ;)
Mark, now that it's over, I gotta say: He was anyhows and anyways too young for you. He lacked the appreciation mature women deserve.
We'd both be "toy-boys", but only just... ;D
Guess a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do ;)

It' OK Mark there's plenty of "cougar bait" stateside ;) Even if they don't all have a bunch of Gibson basses :P
I think Dr. Aquafresh will need to start a new thread by the time he gets his camera back.
OTOH at least we're keeping it near the top.
What Dave...? Poor Mark's grief at finally realising that he's been dumped, in the full glare of the public eye...? the rawness of the moment, for all to "see"...?
We should all spare a moment for solidarity and share her grief... :popcorn:
In all fairness to my sometimes skinny Dutchman - I'm doing ok ;)

In the prime of life... ;)
I just thought I had to give our relationship some air. But I will never forget you ofcourse! In next issue of De Bassist I enclosed the Mike Lull Bird in the gear section and I wrote that it was designed by Mike Lull with help of a Gibson T-bird collector. What followed was a romantic poem about you, but my colleague didn't want to print that 'cos it had nothing to do with the bass'.
Strange.
De Bassist just wants to retain the semblance of a family magazine I guess. That said, parts of the heartfelt poem have been indiscreetly divulged to the greater public and I feel honorbound to quote from it here:
Take me to the promised land
Conquer me like desert sand
Lead me to my rightful home
Chain me up in steel and chrome
Behold, you are my leathür dove
Especially when you've got me cuffed
The thought of you leaves me no Lull
Ik hou van jou my fishnet doll
Mind you, The Netherlands are known for lots of things, but great poetry isn't among them. An "A" for effort though.
;D Ow, man, I send it to you, Uwe, but you promised me to keep it secret:( I'm very disappointed now, but in the other way: It was my heart speaking and I am not embaressed!
It deserved public appreciation, Chris, trust me.
Trust a lawyer? Well, why not: Mike Oldfield says in this month's issue of Q magazine, lawyers are the only persons he thrusts because he pays them.
Thrust is something else than trust. Which is the one used for getting objects from A to B and which has to do with faith? I meant trust.
That is why Metallica played Thrash Metal, not Trash Metal, although some here might disagree or fail to see/hear the difference.
English spelling can be confounding, but often little earmark sentences help. Loose or lose? ??? Easy!
"Loose women lose their virginity early." After they have lost it, there is one "o" less.
Is all that "arm-exercise" good for "thrash-metal"...? ;)

I see a new tat! ;D Please be careful as to which body part it is applied ;) I'm fairly certain there will be pic ;D

I pay the guy who services my car, but I've never thrusted him.

This must be why you've welcomed back with open arms, Antipodean Mark... ;)

No no Kenny!
Aussie Mark is completely normal, there's only one of my kind dragging down this ship. Unless of course you count George's occasional forays ;)

Just don't wander around King's Cross in Sydney after dark... ;D
Wait a minnit, doesn't George sometimes only dream he wears wimmin's clothes? He alway has a coherent explanation how those things just happen to him ...
if I recall it went something like: "I woke up dressed this way" ;D
As if!
Ha ha. I woke up to the sound of the girls I was with discussing my 'rocker' days and how I'd look in make-up. I rolled over and told them to help themselves if they really wanted to know. The dress came later after they'd decided I looked so girly. ;)
The details of this - regrettable - "incident" are becoming more and more interesting. We now learn that Herr Carlston explicitly invited a bunch of women to forcibly x-dress him. Who knows what else will be divulged sooner or later. Let him keep talking!
It's the long slippery slope, George... once you go down it, there's no way back up... ;D

So true... But depending on who you're climbing that's not necessarily a bad thing! ;D
