Oh, the BIN price is particularly hilarious. "So if you want a 70s Strat without the high price tag" spunk £550 on a Columbus

Um, I think someone has bolted that neck to a Mexican strat. No, wait, why would someone do that to a perfectly good Mexican strat?  |

Have you seen his note:
'Usual stuff:
This is a legally binding contract you are entering. Failure to complete the transaction will result in the winning bidder being fined the sum of £50 for wasting everyones time and efforts , no excuses.'
Is a £50 fine usual?
First time ive heard of it. |

| I saw that and thought "See you in court". Probably thinks he's Judge Dredd but doesn't even make Judge Judy. |

I saw it, but resisted the "optimistic" because the starting £180 is actually below the inflated prices that AP100s go for now. I sincerely hop this guy means the case was replaced by a wooden one, not the "chassis" as he mentions. A wooden chassis is not something I'd contemplate. I'd also like to know who charged him £220 for a set of Ruby Tubes, so that the shyster can be struck off everyone's list of amp servicers.
Lastly, I'm getting a bit tired of this "as used by Bowie's guitarist" rubbish. As a student of Mick Ronson, you'll know that he used Marshall Majors. He's probably seen or heard of the Ziggy live pic. Ronson's Marshall can be clearly seen. It is Bowie (strangely absent from most people's "Top Ten Guitarists") who has plugged his acoustic into an AP100 with a single 4x12" cab. |
