Re: Roberts Smiths Fish guitar
Ahahah & Fall Reverb. I've just been reading up on this thread. Great stuff. You guys could write a book.
I've a great old friend back home who had a little box room at his folks house when he was growing up. It was plastered in The Cure posters, calendars, NME, Sounds & Melody Maker snippets. All sorts. He's got pretty much every LP, EP, 7" & picture disc you can get of the Cure. He's the guy who introduced me to the Bass VI. He'd love this thread.
P.S - He even had the hairdo back then. 2 fucking hours & 2 cans of hair-spray before he was ready

You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Ahahah ! (This is my name and the expression of a state of joy too...). Thanks. I'll think about it ;-)PorkyPrimeCut wrote: Ahahah & Fall Reverb. I've just been reading up on this thread. Great stuff. You guys could write a book.

Anyway, I left the posters and calendars to others, but I've an (almost) complete discography. Don't collect anymore though (I've got all the stuff I was interested in, go figure why I haven't bought their latest singles...)
And how is your hair now ?PorkyPrimeCut wrote:P.S - He even had the hairdo back then. 2 fucking hours & 2 cans of hair-spray before he was ready

Re: Roberts Smiths Fish guitar
I was talking about an old friend, not myself.
His hair? He started going bald when he was 19-20 so he shaved it all off!!
My hair? Still going strong!!

The worst in the story is that we could do exactly the same with his various Bass VI (he for sure has far more VIs than JMs).

Re: Roberts Smiths Fish guitar
Well, why don't we simply start a new thread & try to establish how many Bass VI's Mr. Smith actually had/has, based on the same sources we used in this thread - that would indeed be interesting, I think...Ahahah wrote: Could be funny though...

P.S. - so what's our verdict on his Jazzmasters? Did he really in all likelihood only have 2, if we would dismiss the statement as probably not true from the article that StevenO kindly posted?

I'd bet on 2. No more, no less... Gone through a wide array of White / Black / Fish and White / Black for the other (without forgetting the natural at some stage in 1980 for one of these).Fall reverb wrote:P.S. - so what's our verdict on his Jazzmasters?

Alright, I'll bite - I will open a new thread were we can discuss the history of Mr. Smith's various Bass VI's, and I'm already looking forward to the info that will be (hopefully) shared there!
