New Sid Vicious Signature Bass Doesn’t Come With Output Jack

I can not wait for this. I just hope it’s a custom shop model and not some MIM garbage.

Love Jones' comments, perfect...

 

[Killing Floor]

Ok that’s funny.

 

[Ricky Rioli]

That made me seek out some of Jones' actual words about SV, and that led me to an interesting Rolling Stone interview with him from six years ago, which I enjoyed.

At the time, Jones still had SV's bass. Seemingly not for sentimental reasons, but more that he doesn't know what to so with it. Fears that selling it would be bad karma.

From Fender's PR:

'We’re so proud to capture the essence of what made Sid such a memorable figure'

So, enough dope and alchohol not to know what planet he was on? Now THAT's some case candy.

That's the part of all this I'll never make peace with. To celebrate 'rock and roll!' and make money off of the dead who lived a terrible life battling problems that killed him. Yes kids, There's No Bidness Like Show Bidness!

Rock On ! ! !

I came here to mention Keanu Reeves. He's a great person and a great actor, but I'm kinda tired of hearing about his new signature bass.

It also comes w/ weed under the PG.

1st read: There's a super-easy-to-make-in-Photoshop meme.

2nd read: I bet more time went into writing the copy for that than the mock image.

3rd read: Wait, they didn't actually go to the trouble to... right?

Uhh.... You folks do all know that TheHardTimes.net is a humor site like TheOnion, and that all their "news" stories are invented by them to be funny, right?

A few other examples:

• Concert Promoter Releases Wolves on Stage to Thin Out Overpopulated Ska Band
  
• Guitarist Takes 40 Minutes to Realize "The Music Man" Not an Ernie Ball Biopic
  
• Prog Metal Band Takes Totally Unnecessary Vow of Celibacy Before Tour

You should see this movie called 'Spinal Tap'.

 

[FRoss6788]

Never heard of it but, obviously Fender would never put out an instrument with no output jack.

 

[SDC1-ClickClack]

You should see this movie called 'Spinal Tap'.

Oh, yeah! That's a gritty life-on-the-road documentary!

 

[Grinderman]

Again, this reminds me--if Fender were more clever with their marketing they'd tie in a new signature series release every year at Halloween.

All I see is a surf rock band waiting to happen.

Yes

He was a good singer, doing well on their covers of C'mon Everybody, Somethin' Else and My Way. He and Glen started The Vicious White Kids, with Sid singing. After he died, the record label released at least two albums of songs he sang on. One was called Flogging a Dead Horse, which was thought untasteful. The recordings were worse than you'd get on a phone nowadays, but that didn't stop the label.

Yes, I get joke about Sid's signature.
