Ibanez Musician, ivory pearl, 4 knobs, serial number 6850136. My first proper bass, bought for £230 in Birmingham about 1990. I didn't know what I was doing them and couldn't get a decent sound out it so I traded it at Musical Exchanges (wish that was still going) for a Wal fretless which thankfully I still have. I would love to get the old Ibanez back so if anyone knows where it is...?

Ever?... tricky one that, quite subjective. My faves at the mo' though are any of Andy Rourke's early upbeat lines, driving and melodic.

From then (80's) to now, I think in order. Steinberger 'Stick' (Black, ? I borrowed it OK it wasn't mine) Ibanez Musician (Ivory pearl, 'pimps bass') Tokai Jazz fretless (Red, now natural with EMG's & BadAss bridge, present from girlfriend) * Godin fretless (Black, noisy mistake, FEEDBACK!!!......) Jaydee Supernatural (Cherry, only mistake was selling it) Wal fretless (Exotic, part of the family) * Warwick Thumb (Natural, expensive mistake) Musicman Stingray (Natural, only needed for short tour) Tokai Jazz (Sunburst, EMG's & BadAss again) * Jaydee Supernatural (Fluorescent lilac,.......LOL, Cherry with cherub inlays) * Status Series I (Black, now natural, needs new home) * * Still in my possesion
