[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1490470808' post='3265404'] Interesting, how did they qualify it as being Japanese? I.e. Did you take the bottom label off or did they? If you did, what colour was it? Silver is always Taiwan, black could be Japanese or Taiwan. Could you do a photo of the PCB? (Ie the baseplate removed?!) Si [/quote] Thanks for the interest. I can't remember whether the label was missing; I wouldn't have taken it off unless it was hanging off in a vexing manner. I looked up the original thread and it was described as "early 80's" - the assumption that it was Japanese was mine.

Talk to Bob at Timeline http://www.exotichardwoods.co.uk I've also had a peruse through Jon Shuker's stock for a couple of bits.

I have one but no serial number to be found Is there a way to at least identify an era/country of manufacture?

Guitaristic, but very musical, and with an impressive mastery of dynamics and timing. That fingerstyle funky stuff with the ghost notes is so tight too. Talent (and I assume dedication) right there. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, the Maze do all types. Talk to Gaz to get something sorted. The Angel has a good alt/Rock heritage The Jam Cafe is worth a try too

Agreed that calories in v calories out is how it works, but how you exercise makes a difference, like how you drive influences how quickly you burn fuel. I'm not seriously suggesting that I'd have lost weight at last night's gig Especially as I had kebab afterwards!

My Fitbit tracks my heartbeat among other things. It was interesting to see that during our set last night, I rapidly ascended into the 'Fat Burn' zone, and towards the end of the set got into Cardiovascular territory. Gigging is good for body and mind! [Img] http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/rackbags/Screenshot_2017-03-18-09-37-52_zps2pqoh0ep.png" class="ipsImage" />

We're playing at The Bodega Nottingham this Friday with a band called Shanty. Paddy's night!

I'm a Bassrace fan too! Suberb stuff!

My band recorded a few tracks a while back and the mixes are starting to come out. Here's the first: Listen to Pressure by Christopher Brown 53 #np on #SoundCloud [url="https://soundcloud.com/christopher-brown-48/pressure"]https://soundcloud.c...own-48/pressure[/url] Edit: link to updated mix: https://soundcloud.com/christopher-brown-48/ujahm-pressure

Shobaleader One's new album Check out this live track, which starts as dub, but goes a bit Weather Report in the middle. The drumming is incredible! https://open.spotify.com/track/3tOpupQWGzM1yxEPVH4Nsy?context=spotify%3Auser%3Achristopherjohnbrown%3Acollection%3Aalbum%3A4umruXFB3I47eDKPC0CBZS

Bass guitar mag had a good series of arrangements for solo bass. I remember learning How Deep Is Your Love, Take the A Train and some others

I suppose 'selfish' isn't as black and white if there are mental health issues at play? Anyway, I saw them at Reading 91 just before Nevermind was released and was blown away. They headlined the next year - my mate's claim to fame was that DG wore his band's T shirt at that headline gig (both bands were signed to Geffin) Fascinating and tragic person. RIP
