Didn't realize they were so rare. Pretty expensive overseas too, but would love to own one.
I have a 1991 BFP that I probably overpaid for about 10 years ago for $4k off ebay. Bit more disposable income then Can't find any at all for sale now of that particular model. I will probably never sell this one, it's a really great player.
What are you gassing for?

Yes, they did a Premium reissue version of the BFP not too long ago.hamo wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 1:38 pmDid they do a newer run more recently?

New name in the boutique solid-body game. Look nice, even if the grain isn't classical.

Re: What are you gassing for?
OK. Rickenbacker seem to be content with making a certain amount of instruments annually, and being content with that workload. I guess it means a steady stream of work at a consistent level for there employees.

Re: What are you gassing for?
At £3000 for a Fender knockoff using offcuts from their acoustic business, they're taking the piss, irrespective of how well built they are. And that headstock isn't a charmer.robthemac wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 4:54 pm New name in the boutique solid-body game. Look nice, even if the grain isn't classical.

Re: What are you gassing for?
I'm one of those people that couldn't give two shits what chunk of wood is used for a Fender-style electric. And if they're building something light, well-made and tactfully aged, that's more than most can say.WellyBlues wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 7:45 pmAt £3000 for a Fender knockoff using offcuts from their acoustic business, they're taking the piss, irrespective of how well built they are.

I agree, and whatever floats your boat, but 3000 of those English pounds is a bit steep, imho.robthemac wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 7:54 pmI'm one of those people that couldn't give two shits what chunk of wood is used for a Fender-style electric.

Re: What are you gassing for?
There's a Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 5 HH relisted on TradeMe with a starting price of 2k. It ran for a week without any buyers so the seller has relisted it, so it's likely the starting bid would win.
It's tempting but I can't justify 2k on a 5 string bass guitar right now. But damn that could be a great deal

Thanks Conway.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: What are you gassing for?
Those Novos are beautiful. Such a great shape, and they seem to have perfected the look of timber that has just washed up on the beach, whilst at the same time leaving you in no doubt that this guitar has wonderful tone.
