Arthur

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.
