Man, I was at the Lowe's in Nashua this morning -- In NH, that look never went away. They even rock it unisex.

It's frighteningly common here in Michigan...

[Axtman]

I guess I am cool with 1980's fashions.......so long as out of shape, overweight, middle aged guys don't go parading around in tight spandex or leather pants!

 

[apell]

Sharp & pointy was so futuristic!

 

[bommer]

I sure as hell hope so, i wanna THRASH!

Would we REALLY want the era that gave us the B-52's to make a retro comeback?

 

[Axtman]

Would that be retro retro?

 

[Mr_Sore_Fingerz]

Would that be retro retro?

Point taken lol...but I don't know if the 50's/60's could have produced an annoyance of the same caliber as Fred Schneider.

On that subject though (the 50/60's), bringing back surf rock would be AWESOME!!

I really love the fender jazz specials (especially the black fretless), why did i sell mine, why I need one! I need one now!

I don't recall them every playing pointy guitars so this is a rather moot point

long live 80's basses, Kramer and Jackson did it but I doubt the crackles will become popular again...

the no-name'ers did it as well.. Here's a Bently Series10-pro I picked up cheap.

The 80's?

Say, i wasnt even alive then..!!

Not that that has stopped me... in the slightest...

Long live the 80's... or at least, 80's basses...

 

[John D]

Let's hope not, eh?

What he said.

 

[Kenner]

again? have you looked on ebay lately on what people are trying to sell them for, AND looked at the completed of what those things ARE SELLING for???

if they were out of style for a while, people sure want them now a days !!!!

...I was just jokin a bit.....I just sold an 87 privately for 500.00
The other 2 stay with me....if they have an OHSC, all the knobs, battery cover, and truss cover, they're worth 500 (IMHO)......

There's less than 350 made, and I sold mine! Stupid, Stupid, STUPID!
A truly fantastic guitar, has incredible tones and playability.

Of course, it's not for your average 90's 00's or 10's function or wedding gig. I wouldn't play jazz on it either, not even fusion (check out F. Gambale btw) but with my ADA and Rocktron stuff, it killed. Why oh why did I sell it?!!

No, wait, that's only got 6 strings, haha! I had one of the 340 or so UV777GR beasts. It was the original Ibanez 7-string guitar, and had a much better neck than what they produce nowadays. Here's a pic of 'Beastie.'

There was 777 of the one I pic'd made.

That 777GR is nice! I love those!



Dunno about anyone else, but I'd jazz jam with a jem.

I lived through the '70s and, style-wise, I thought the '80s were an enormous improvement. That was much less the case with basses than it was with carpet, furniture, or hairstyles, however.

I hope the '80s style basses do not come back into fashion, actually. I hate being in fashion and love Steinbergers and Kubickis. It would be lousy if their value were to suddenly shoot up just because all of the fashion-chasing fools suddenly thought they were "cool".

It's my recipe for a great deal that holds especially in basses--find one that is very high quality and not at all cool and you'll get a much better bass for much less than if you insisted on one that happens to be "current". "Cool" has been nothing but a marketing vehicle just about since its inception, anyway. What was that DEVO song, "I'm through being..."? Wait, that was the '80s. Is it cool to be cool again?

 

[amimbari]

thru people like us, the 80's guitars will never die -----

LONG LIVE THE 80'S

here's a cool matching headstock 80's relic. Fender had the AeroDyne, Kramer had the AeroStar
