Nile Rodgers is auctioning off his collection of guitars to help fund his foundation that helps talented kids.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-59333291
I wonder if he’ll be selling his legendary Fender Strat ‘the hitmaker’?
Here he he is talking about it and his work with David Bowie:

I believe Stevie Ray Vaughan played it on the record.
Carmine Rojas was on bass.

Apparently he's not going full Gilmour and is keeping the Hitmaker but including a replica.

Just seen the Nils Rogers article on BBC website
Coincidentally, I've been reading about him this morning, in Stuart Maconies book 'Cider With Roadies', in the section where he writes about working for the NME
Rogers is trying out a new Gretsch as he arrives

I saw one recently on BassChat for £150, but it's not an original early Steinberger, obviously.

I am, but primarily the more 'traditional' style, eg; Roy Acuff
Senior Management & myself went to see them at Holmfirth Picturedrome, last Saturday
To my surprise, she said she'd go see them again, on the next tour!!
Which is quite surprising, as the first track of theirs that she heard (or paid attention to) was 'She Was Skinny When I Met Her', on the 'random play of the CDs in the Octavia
(at some point last year)

Been told l can buy a guitar!!
That said, is it a trick statement?
Like the phrase "Do what you want!
Does it mean, "That's Fine!", or..... 'Do it, & you're dead!'

Mrs T clearly mean to say "bass". And then "7 or 8".
The Hohner models aren't all thst different to the XT-2, they even come from the same factory. They did a version with jazz bass pickups that was a bit J. Arthur Rank, but they also did a few with some very nice wood finishes.

Gretsch
Or. I could just buy a Mandolin. fancied one almost as long as I've wanted a Gretsch, & treat her to something with the money saved?
I'm fairly certain, I'll not be allowed a G6120 'Setzer'!?

Sadly, no 'Vintage Orange' in this range, so it'd have to be the Riviera Blue'
