[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1432983757' post='2786750'] i do believe i was in Japan with you on the same tour ole chap. [/quote] Indeed you were Rog! Fun times Great to see you on here mate!

I'm a founder member and still play (25 years later) in the KISS tribute band "Dressed To Kill" ([url="http://www.facebook.com/kisstributeuk"]www.facebook.com/kisstributeuk[/url]) which involves prowling around in 7" monster stackheeled boots, breathing fire, spitting blood and letching at young ladies..... Not a bad job and it's taken me all over the UK, Scandinavia, mainland Europe and Japan.... I also play in "Rock Anthems presents....Live & Dangerous" which is an incredibly accurate aural recreation of Thin Lizzy's classic live album.......and also dep for the "Supersonic 70's Show"...

[quote name='JJW' timestamp='1432303693' post='2780240'] Just saw an interview where he said he fell off stage and broke the lobue bass and just gave it to the audience. [/quote] He made that up. He often talks crap sadly.... He gave it to Micki Free (of Shalamar) who had it stolen from the trunk of his car. It's never been seen since....

I was so gutted when I heard the news this afternoon. Another one of my faves has left the building.... RIP Rutger

Gave the bass back and got a refund today. Apologies for lack of pics. Anyone want a project - it's in Streatham High St Cash Convertors.....

[quote name='Wil' timestamp='1430305336' post='2760001'] Was it one of BC Rich's famed "100 piece" necks by any chance? I had an NJ Mockingbird with one of these that had a neck like a banana. [/quote] Probably

Sadly my tech has told me the neck is twisted beyond what's worth spending on it so will be returning it for a refund

Will do, chaps..... just give me a few days as I'm mad busy at the moment and I've given it to my tech to set up/clean up etc

Just scored an off-white, thru-neck, 80's 'NJ Series' BC Rich Eagle with a double set of DiMarzio P pickups in it for £89 from Cash Convertors! Needs a clean & set up - but the powerful P bass sound is shining through already! Never thought I'd find a decent bass bargain in there but it seems it was worth my while for once!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429218680' post='2749479'] Those are very positive comments indeed from a [s]fussy bugger like you[/s] discerning bass guitar aficionado such as yourself! Seriously though, can you see how the V7 circuit put me in mind of the TonePump? [/quote] How very dare you?!?!! Yep, the active circuit certainly has that same amazing boost (& cut) capability!

Rec'd my white, alder V7 with rosewood board today...... and...... WOW.... Straight out of the box it sounded bold and resonant unplugged which is always a good sign! Then I plugged it in and instant even tones rang out with plenty of punch where required..... THEN I flicked the active switch......... and had to go and lie down.....

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428092069' post='2738085'] Happy with what I've got now - at the moment - but high-end Spector GAS is rearing its ugly head again... [/quote] It never goes away

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1427924430' post='2736044'] Gary, you DO realise it's not a Spector, don't you?? [/quote] Lol! Yes..... it's OK, I own Hamers, Jacksons, Fenders, ESPs, Wals, Peaveys, Fernandes', etc etc too This was just TOO good a bass to pass up for my arsenal....

Just ordered this very bass....... damn you!

Yep, me too..... and I've got two as well (just in case...)
