I know. I’ve picked up my bitsa Jazz again, and I have to say I do like it very much. Looks like a piece of agricultural equipment one day, and a totem of cool the next!
Feckin blimey. I remember those Antigua Fenders, in McCormacks in Glasgow. I had never seen anything like them. Like the monkeys with the monolith in 2001. If you get my drift.
Very fine example of a very rare bass. GLWTS.
Friend of mine in Scotland had a John Birch Rickenbacker. It was thin and light, and the neck was very skinny, as I recall. It was astoundingly playable, and cost a fortune.
I’ve got a pair of the Sony headphones mentioned above. They are very good indeed, and bass on records sound clear and distinct.
Mine have the stupid fixed coily cable, which is a royal tangly pain in the derrière.
