I'd say not too bad. For a start, he has to measure up and make a one off template. If the whole job took half a day, assuming the body he was working with wasn't some awful ply based rubbish, then 4 hours work at £25 an hour is fine.

I wonder if he knows our guitarist ? His name is Keith Skerrett

Our gittard did some work for Jamiraquai out in Buckinghamshire at JK's mansion ( my pal is ex Solid State Logic whizz kid ) and when he arrived there, he met the whole band and they were mostly a real friendly bunch, including SZ, but not including JK. Apparently, he was a miserable dyck head, wasn't having a laugh with the band but wandering around outside, surveying his kingdom and counting his money in his head. He then kicked off over one of the band, or someone else maybe, about crumbs in the honey jar. Cocky twart

Our drummist is a real groove monster and tighter than a nun's chuff. Very easy to play with if you like to groove a smidge

Just scored some used condoms. One careful owner. Extra large. *cough*

One of the ultimate P bass tones from John Wetton ( RIP ) through HiWatt guitar amps, so he said. Live, , well back in the early 70's anyways, 2 x 100 watt heads Get under your headphones. This is awesome

Agreed. Only other musicians ( and mainly bass players ) would even care.

Mine's for sale if he's interested

Sounds like you suffered a blank premmie. Your missus will explain.

I agree that kit looks way over the top, and he didn't play anything like such a monstrosity when he was with Dale Bozzio and Missing Persons. I seem to recall though, that he had a fair old kit during the Zappa years

Most genuine Ovations have a headstock logo , and that one above has nothing, so i'm tending to go with non branded copy. Maybe

I love Bozio. He's part fruitcake.

Just found the Imbuya Burl bass on Chris's website. I can't help staring at this bass. It's a dream http://www.chrislarkinguitars.com/instruments-gallery/electric-bass-guitars/imbuya-5.html

Thanks for the correction Christoph. What a beautiful bass

It's orange ? Yeehar

Yes they do

What colour is this ? I'm colour blind

Chris speaking about using non tropical woods. A real trooper

Looking at the front row, far right, i think that used to be on his website, and looks like it has the Imbuya Burl body face. What a stunning collection of Chris Larkin's impeccable builds

I know. That's why i said, and posted " a few " and also said there's more. I couldn't be donkeyed to post them all

Likewise, i sent a bass to Wunjo ( they arranged via UPS ) - an '83 vintage Overwater - gulp ! - it arrived safely. Wunjo then sent bass back by ..gulp !... UPS It arrived safely. Bingo

I think because it's not 100% - just a few but there's more Science Ancient Glacier

Built by some hairy primate with a pipe wrench. What a steal at nearly 300 sovs
