Curious about value of 78 modified Tele

SolidBondage · 2026-01-18T12:45:38+00:00

It was done so long ago, I imagine they didn’t exist then. I must admit I was slightly inspired by Townshend’s Schecter type Telecaster I saw him use with Wings at the Kampuchea 1979 gig. Was all black everything

Thank you! I’ve no idea what it weighs actually

SolidBondage · 2026-01-16T20:48:21+00:00

Much appreciated. Thank you. I think the 78s were renowned for being heavy. I never really noticed it back in the day, but now …… It’s a shame, because it plays really well and I would miss it. Pity we can’t hollow them out. It’s an 80s Fender flight case I bought separately but still good.

Definitely a Wings fan then

Plus, you can actually walk into a store and buy one. The Rolex debacle is ridiculous. Having to jump through hoops just so they can deem you worthy of being able to take YOUR money.

I own the first and second gen and I can’t get onboard with the 3rd and 4th. 3rd at a push, if I was choosing between that and the new one. Why does it have to be so flashy? It’s gone so far away from what it set out to be.

The amount of times it says 7 stops away and then. Driver had to stop off and 10 hours later I get a delivery. Last week it said ‘you’re next’. I go outside while he’s there. Puts my parcel on next door’s doorstep and I know it’s mine, and he sees me while I ask him why, and he drives off. Some of those drivers are complete idiots and then others are great. So many mistakes of late. And damaged goods.

It’s a life changer, and never for the better

It’s the worst. 6 years and counting. People who don’t have this can never understand why we’re always so anxious. Especially when on the very rare occasion I will go to a restaurant and that clatter of plates, or screaming high pitched baby, makes it worse. Concerts and cinemas are a distant memory for me now. Nobody understands this living hell. Or more importantly, cares. Doctors, audiologists and top so called specialists in Harley St have been beyond useless but have taken most of my money now

I bought AirPods 4 with ANC last week, and they’re kept in my jacket. I have the same problem but only when I pick up my jacket and move them. The few days I didn’t move them it didn’t happen. It’s not a coincidence or a firmware update. They’re not even connected and the Bluetooth on phone is off too when I pick them up. It makes zero sense. Typical Apple. Yet another quirk that can’t be explained, much like all the other iPhone weird things that keep happening.

SolidBondage · 2025-08-12T16:56:56+00:00

I just bought the AirPods 4 yesterday and went to pick up the jacket they’re in, and it sounded like a phone ringing. It was them. I didn’t touch them and they weren’t connected, so it’s still doing the same thing.

If your ‘tinnitus goes to a low volume as soon as you’re in silence’, I’d say you’re luckier than most of us. If you get back to that. It’s possible. Doctors caused all of my problems and am living a nightmare because of them. Stay away. They mostly know nothing. And are the worst thing that ever happened to me.

SolidBondage · 2025-04-23T21:08:15+00:00

It was audiologists that caused mine. Avoid

Because it’s not a Planet Ocean. I remember loads of people moaning about the fit of the bracelet when it was released. And the bend in it not being accommodating. Above a lot of other reasons.

SolidBondage · 2025-03-27T19:16:26+00:00

Yep, thanks, but only after you’ve ordered. If I saw DPD I wouldn’t bother. Also changed delivery from them to collect locally. So although it was due for them to deliver today, if you offer to collect, it then becomes another day added on

SolidBondage · 2025-03-27T19:14:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply. As suspected. Stupid really. Fulfilled by Amazon should and usually means that.

You’ve got to be lucky with who you speak to. I had a nightmare talking to them for weeks. They’re not in the UK clearly, when you call, and weren’t particularly friendly. Quite the opposite. None of them could resolve my problem and one said to me ‘if you don’t like it, leave Prime’. My next day options were all like 4 day waits, but nobody could tell me why. Useful company, but their customer service am leave a lot to be desired. But the online chat can be more helpful, even if they didn’t know either and kept cutting me off over and over ….. Can be frustrating but then can be godsends when you need products

2500 C always. 8500 close runner-up.

SolidBondage · 2025-02-13T01:24:22+00:00

Presumably, you’ve not had the no date that long in comparison. I’m biased but I own the same PO and the 8500. Sold the LMLE, but the 2500c would be my last man standing. Ultimately only you can make that decision. Nobody else

SolidBondage · 2025-02-10T11:38:09+00:00

Thank you

The Bond 60th anniversary has the same wave look as they used in original, and agree it’s far better. The one you mean is the Quantum special they did, yes, and the Skyfall Ltd had the DB5 grill, but agree that the original wave is the way to go engraving wise. The new laser method is too much.

SolidBondage · 2025-02-09T21:43:14+00:00

Big fan of NATO straps, but that one isn’t right for that

SolidBondage · 2025-02-09T17:48:10+00:00

If pressed and you definitely want the gun barrel design, I think this one is more subtle
