Yeah i did, but the problem is that i don't know anywhere i could get one defretted, add the fact that i wouldn't feel comfortable doing it myself... Also would it be possible to defret a Curbow? They're not wood are they?

[QUOTE=neal_672]:lol: did somebody actually say that to you?![/QUOTE]

It's one of the lyrics from Have A Cigar, a song about the music industry. Primus and Foo Fighters featured Brian May have both covered it. Though Primus changed that line to "Who the hell's this guy they call Bob C. Co[i]c[/i]k?"


"Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far,
You're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die,
You're gonna make it if you try;
They're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect,
And I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic,
that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out.
You owe it to the people.
We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green,
Have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start,
It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,
We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

neal_672 11-28-2004 12:22 PM

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]Just buy a fretless Curbow 6er.[/QUOTE]
Do they do them? and more to the point - do they do them in the UK? I've never seen a fretless curbow 6er on any websites...

[QUOTE=moxshyfter]Why is Pink Floyd so good? I think they're pretty boring to be honest...[/QUOTE]

Thier music is really deep, meaning wise, though some people dont like it, thier a bit of an aquired taste.


There is absolutely nothing like getting stoned and just laying down in a dark room listening to Pink Floyd. NOTHING.

Wintermute 11-28-2004 12:24 PM

It's from 'Wish You Were Here'

neal_672 11-28-2004 12:25 PM

Ahhhhh my dad has that on vinyl, only heard it a few times though. That's why i don't know it *no longer feels stupid :thumb:*

PaulSimonon 11-28-2004 12:25 PM

Well, there isn't even a Curbow 6 on the international site...

Mitchell Royce 11-28-2004 12:27 PM

To FUNKN: Yes there is. Making a Mushroom Smoothie and then laying down in a dark room listening to Pink Floyd. Mind-blasting fun.

neal_672 11-28-2004 12:27 PM

A challenge for everyone: help me find a picture of a fretless Curbow 6... 3....2....1...GO LOOK!

PaulSimonon 11-28-2004 12:29 PM

I guess they only make a 4 fretless.

Well that was tough. You'll never believe the insanely cunning things I had to do...

Well, ok, since you pressure me, I typed 'Cort Curbow Fretless 6' into a google image search.

:rolleyes:

FUNKNBASS 11-28-2004 12:30 PM

I couldnt find any good pictures of a fretless.

neal_672 11-28-2004 12:31 PM

I love you all, they're is teh secks :naughty: now to find one to buy from somewhere in the UK... Actually, are they Corts? Or are they custom's? If they're custom's any ideas on prices?

PaulSimonon 11-28-2004 12:31 PM

I think he means Cort's Curbow models.

Wintermute 11-28-2004 12:34 PM

That is gonna be really hard, almost impossible to find one here.

neal_672 11-28-2004 12:40 PM

I've only ever seen 4's and 5's, never a 6 :upset:, there's a Cort dealer near me though, maybe they'd order one in?

Bassinator89 11-28-2004 12:42 PM

PaulR 11-28-2004 12:43 PM

FUNKNBASS 11-28-2004 12:43 PM

You are no longer the MX Decepticon. The Autobots have one the war for cybertron. Ha HA HA.

Radiobass81 11-28-2004 12:44 PM

Bassinator: Nice.

You gotta change your signature, tho.

Bassinator89 11-28-2004 12:46 PM

Well FUNKN, you won the war, but then again optimus was always cool.

I'm so glad I started doin this casual thread thing, it's alot more fun then pressing refresh on the main page 50 billion times!

BassVirtuoso 11-28-2004 12:47 PM

WTF are you talking about. Hot Rod is the best.

PaulR 11-28-2004 12:49 PM

Transformers > You

BassVirtuoso 11-28-2004 12:50 PM

I think the series was the best when they transformed into animals. I know I'm dissing the old school tractor trailer, but come on. Dinosaurs>Motorcycles.

PaulSimonon 11-28-2004 12:52 PM
