Or a motorcycle.

Ha!

no it means it is the ‘hot’ version,
Like Abarth for Fiats

Here is a later one, also rear engined, a Renault 8 Gordini quite the angry ant in its day.

A mate had a grey R8 (not a Gordini) as his first car and we used to go out in it quite a bit. The R8 did a lot of rallying in Australia and some circuit work.

It’s like a 1300cc 911
(is that George choking on his breakfast?)

But it was repeatedly hit with the ugly stick.

Edit: add photo

Coke (or any cola) is useful for cleaning because of the phosphate content. Most other carbonated drinks do not have the phosphate content of colas, but the carbonation may have some utility.

Also takes rust out of metals and works well at unclogging pipes.

Hmmm, what gives???
Sweetwater… Gibson USA LTD EDITION 1 of 400 Les Paul Money Bass Mint W/OHSC and Paperwork | Reverb
Ricks… Used Gibson USA Ltd Edition Les Paul Money Bass W/Case and Paperwork

Both in Cumberland RI. Identical bass, but different pictures. Ricks is a hundred bucks more than Sweetwaters already inflated price. Looks kinda shady. Expected better from Sweetwater.

Is it probably the same guy selling? Smells like desperation. Or are they trying to scam people?

You should grab one of the old 'Birds as well while at it.

When these came out I thought for sure Gene Simmons had something to do with it.

I've always liked those basses - I think The Dudepit was my introduction to them. I'll return the favor and "help" you buy another bass soon enough!

Lovely home that you have, Marshall.

 

[MCF]

I like it! Wish they'd have more fun with the basses along these lines.

True. But could we afford Them?

Beautiful bass in a beautiful setting. Must be the pic, but the fretboard looks really dry.

Well, I never go out.
But thanks to a good friend, caught a little Jazz action last night.
Awesome trio.
Band playing pics weren’t allowed.

Why were pics of the band playing banned? Just curious...

What's that big brown thing on the left lying on its side ?

Outstanding warrants, witness protection program, told the wife they were bowling... There are many good reasons.

It's a piano and I think perhaps more black than dark brown.
