And Liam indulging in some casual racism.

My Fender custom shop bass was actually a Kubicki.
I had 2 Kubick's, one made by Kubicki, the other (for some reason) made by the Fender custom shop.
The only difference was the Fender had a nicer neck (for me). A tad slimmer and faster.
He was offered the 'Stones gig, but couldn't take it as he was committed to Living Colour. But then Vernon folded the band 2 weeks later (ot something), so he could have done it, but by then Darryl had it.
Decent attenuating earplugs are great for noisy environments because they reduce background volume but you can still have a conversation with the person in front of you.
