You're right I did buy that bass for the gig, it's an 81 SB700 into which I have since bunged an east u-retro pre-amp (was a bit of a tight squeeze as the SB700s are passive basses so have quite small control cavities) - it's a great bass, plays lovely, looks the part, and (with the u-retro installed) has the sounds to match!
