A looong time ago, 2010 IIRC, I imported a Veillette Citron bass from the USA.
Arrived in the UK only to bounce between 2 HMRC depots for about 4 or 5 days.
I watched this on the tracker never understanding why.
Eventually arrived safely though.
Yep...Flea...there I've said it.
All these comparisons with MK, Geddy Lee, Les Claypool...
To me he sounds like a 19 year old kid with poor technique making noise in your local music shop on a Saturday afternoon.
Sorry...I can't let this thread go any further without saying the unsayable...
Bob Marley's album "Legend" - totally killed his work for me. Nearly everyone I know has that album/ CD - their only venture into reggae ( well maybe "Labour of love" by UB40 too).
It's gone up since I first saw it...plenty of time left - will sell for loads more

I have a Trace Elliot Elf (its not a Trace Elliot!! Damn American counterfeit!!) which many people like. Not me!!
I've heard good things about the PJB BigHead Portable.
Wow!! Twice as much as a First Gen.
I'd be inclined to get one of the older ones and take it along to my local luthier to sort out. He wouldn't charge me £400 to put it right.
Spent some of today listening to Wes Montgomery.
As a fan of The New Mastersounds I was amazed to find out that Wes and his brothers formed the original "The Mastersounds" back in 1957.
We live and learn...
