I thought you were talking about the Grace Jones song

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1398090153' post='2430292'] Interesting, you hardly ever see these, and the licensed Hondo (Korean, likely) versions are way more common than the US originals. Not a through-neck, though, these are actually bolt-on with a very long heel/tenon section that (as far as I remember) the pickups are mounted onto. I have growing GAS for a 2xP bass (probably the only pup configuration I've never owned) and this isn't helping! If I was in bass-buying mode I'd be all over this, a properly rare & unusual vintage bass for what I think is a highly reasonable price, considering how uncommon they are. Jon. [/quote] I have a 2xp Thunder II with xlr input that I could be tempted to trade for one of your goodies

Westone Superheadless for sale - the BIN is very reasonable was tempted to go for it until I read my old post about not getting with them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-Super-Headless-Bass-Guitar-/251504032736?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:3160

The shadows of the headstock on the wall are making my eyes go funny.

Have you received it yet?

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1396972214' post='2419299'] I may be wrong as it's been a long time, 17 yrs, but I'm sure i played America from West side story and it was written bar of 6/8 bar of 3/4. Not some crazy time. [/quote] Correct - it is in an alternating meter.

[quote name='woodster' timestamp='1396995110' post='2419681'] I'll see them at The Southport Weekender in May. I'm there with Archie Bell & The Drells. [/quote] You're PLAYING with Archie Drell? Wow! Tighten up is such a nice track to play!

I know you probably won't like this but... if I had the money I'd buy this and chuck in the Alembic pickups that are for sale on this very forum.

[quote name='Mr Lizard' timestamp='1393428622' post='2380187'] Love em. All of their albums are great. Dr Boondigga and the Big BW being my favourite. Great live too (but no bass player ) [/quote] Whaaaaaaaaa? I'm gonna email them now - maybe no-one thought to ask before! Never had the pleasure of seeing them live but love their albums.

Voted - great set of entries, my ears thank you all!

Daion Power XX. I will be mega jealous if it is.

No, wait - a Kubiki!

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1395484031' post='2402899'] I was having a look at this but decided to leave it. Might regret that... it doesn't say in the listing but it is an active model. I think the toggle gives it away but wasn't sure so I asked. [/quote] II's and III's are all active, only the Thunder I's are passive.

Shhhh! Don't tell everyone!

Unlike this one, which is foul - [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Very-Rare-FERNANDES-RJB-CTM-SFG-Bass-guitar-Limited-MODEL-Surf-Green-/151252621759?pt=Guitar&hash=item23375bd9bf"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Very-Rare-FERNANDES-RJB-CTM-SFG-Bass-guitar-Limited-MODEL-Surf-Green-/151252621759?pt=Guitar&hash=item23375bd9bf[/url]

Have I posted this Fernandes here before? Whatever, it's still GORGE!

That room in Demsey's is a bugger, the wooden floor makes it hard to get a decent sound. I always put the cab on a crate or use a Gramma pad which helps enormously.

Hondo, same bridge as my Daion, strung-through body, very nice for £120!
