Default John McVie bass for sale

For those who may be interested.... Julien's Auctions, who did the Chris/John/Mick auction last year has one of John's bass guitars for sale in a new auction called "Played, Worn, & Torn-- Rock n Roll iconic guitars and memorabilia"

Wow. Clearly you'd be buying it for him having owned it. I used to have the acoustic guitar version of this, and the sound was awful. All treble, no bass.

Really cool. Reading that brought back memories of first seeing the Seven Wonders video. Everyone commented on 2 things: how cool to see an acoustic bass and how big Stevie's boobs were.

The Little Lies bass!

Perhaps by gathering all the mystical artifacts (John's bass, Chris' upright, Mick's farm hat, Lindsey's pinstripe suit, and Stevie's 18th century nightgown), it might be possible to turn a page in time and rearrange just a day or two.

I know. Lindsey is right. If they had kept him in the band, we would have had a proper last tour. Very sad for the legacy of the band to end the way it did.

And it's all the old goat's fault. That's her legacy.

I love those brief shots of the band playing together in the Little Lies video; they look so cool. If only we could have had just one last single, one last video of the five of them. Oh well...

I've always been a Stevie/Lindsey fan but since everything that happened and Chris passing away, I've become more a fan of Chris and John's work. John is such a fantastic bass player. Very under rated

You're not the first person to say that. I've had an actual shipper loving on Christine more than ever. And they used to hate Christine.

So weird how that happened. But, mostly because of the way Stevie is portraying herself.
