You've got a bit of a "thing" about that Marley guitar, haven't you?

I bet you secretly desire one. Or do you already have one stashed away?


Yeah Mon, i and i, and one love. Laughing

I dunno... Is it just me or is this a lot of money to be asking for a Squier?

Any 80's Squire will fetch good money, he is a dealer so he's gonna be Ģ100 OTT, so i dont think hes stronging it too much.

I'm not sure what the value of this Hayman bass guitar is, but I love the fact that they think that they might make a sale by including the band name THE RUBETTES in the subject line!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33039&item=7314395094

My Uncle Les made the stage clothes for the 'Sugar Baby Love Gang' he knew the Rubettes they went in his pub in Hommerton high st. Hackney, it was then called 'The Spread Eagle' but now the jackdaw and something, all those silly coloured suites as seen on top of the pops were Les's Creations!! but were they big in Germany?

I know what you mean, glw. I was thinking of excluding "mitten in deutschland" and "music-outlet-shop" from the comp, but thatīd be complicating things. For all that, heīs just your run-of-the-mill dealer with fantasyland prices that endlessly circle Fleeb with no bids. Funny how almost all of them feature some value-reducing "improvement".

Still, I like that "Ramones" plug, so itīs in the hat. I remember some sellers would try to flog Egmonds (really quite unpleasant Dutch 60s planks) with the pitch that "The Beatles almost certainly played some before they got a deal". High price because famous people might have had one before they got enough money to throw it in a skip? Thatīs the kind of sales pitch I want to see.

Meanwhile...back on topic... heres one for you, the mere fact its got lots of damage and 'screw holes' seems to make the guitar worth lots more, its a plywood body but has a 'quality' perspex scratchplate!

OK, this guy's not selling a guitar, he's selling guitar lessons...

Wow! Lessons from Jimi Hendrix himself! How does that work? Do you have to speak to him via dodgy medium Derek Acorah from Most Haunted?

Laughing , Lee. And, being fluent in roadiespeak, I can translate:
"It was offered to me as I used to work for the band and was in the right place at the right time with the right money." = I pinched it when my short-term contract ran out.

Incidentally, I can't be bothered to flag it up, but there's a right POS circling the Fleeb. A Marshall 1936 ( the so what 2x12 cab) "AS USED ON TOUR BY PAGE AND PLANT". It has a BIN of Ģ550. I wonder why this ordinary piece of rubbish (as used by the third string Mongolian nose-flute player for three seconds of "Kashmir") hasn't been snapped up. Are we not born every minute?

Is it just me, or does this one o'mill scratchplate copy seem overpriced, given they've just rubbed an old teabag over it?
