Some of these sale prices are absolute lunacy - really interested to see what the newish American Standard Fenders go for

Bridgehouse

Yep. Will wait out for the Precision then sod it!

Teyeplayer

Too much advertising in guitar magazines combined with a bunch of trigger happy individuals ... I give you the latest Gardiner and Houlgate auction.

Would love to be a fly on the wall though  when these purchases are explained to their better halves at the end of the day -'you spent how much on an 82 les Paul'?
The penny will drop then.

IvisonGuitars

ONE THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED and THIRTY SIX POUNDS for a '56 Precision Bass COPY.

BloodEagle

'58 P-Bass - just over £9000. Has everyone been drinking?

Bridgehouse

Guffaw. That 58 P was a wreck. Ok so artist link, but an absolute wreck...

IvisonGuitars

@Bridgehouse bought the Cliff Williams bass for £9200. Nice one mate....


And I'm out.

There was an audible gasp and some tittering in the room when the hammer went down on that one.

As i've said before, the only winners here are GH.
