That is the cat’s whiskers (pun intended).

Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle

Shot Through The Fart - Bon Jovi

A decision seems to have been reached, well done, that man. Cue desperate scouring of every musical instrument outlet for the right DB, situated within reasonable reach of the North East. I was like that for ages, nothing. Moved to the other end of the country and suddenly suitable instruments became available close to my old home. The universe hates my bass dreams.

Pile(s)driver - Damn Yankees

Ain't that the truth and a very successful wheeze it is.

Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks

There are other shots where that very fine guitar player and very close friend looks even more like MK. He can also play exactly like MK when he wants too. However, it’s his own style that never fails to blow me away, a cross between Alan Murphy, Andy Powell, Johnny Marr and Knopfler. Lovely fella too who has to be told to turn up, a rare beast indeed. I would like to add that everyone in that band (not including myself here for fear of seeming a braggart) were fantastic musicians and I learnt masses during my tenure with them.

Time for that old favourite of this thread… Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? - Zappa

Having been follicly challenged for many years (my dad was bald as were both my granddads, I was always on a hiding to nothing with regard to my bicep covering) and own many, many hats, not least because I need to protect it from UV having had an UV induced growth. However, other than for a photoshoot and maybe an early gig or two with that band, I go sans titfer. Back when I had hair I would sport a bandana to soak up the sweat, but I use a towel these days, if required. Nonetheless, this thread calls for a hat, so a hat you shall have…

Alone Again, Naturally - Gilbert O’Sullivan

P/G change needed to my eyes, mint green would be better IMO. Nick the one off the white one.

Or desperately needing a pee.

Painkiller - Judas Priest

Lady Marmalade - LaBelle

Sailing Shoes - Little Feat

The Trees - Rush

I read that he was/is a Squire fan and why he bought a Ric copy back then in Bass Guitar Magazine, many years ago. As he's now Steven Wilson's go to bass player, he really has come full circle genre wise.

Here's the list of players from the Rotosound website. https://www.rotosound.com/players/ Unfortunately, not all the players have photos. That'd be Michael League. He's not in the above list and I don't think that's a bass the guy is holding, looks more like a nylon strung acoustic to me, but there is certainly a resemblance to ML.

Great looking setup, shame about the PITA from the supplier who I think I can guess it is. Your Ric 4003s is such a looker.

I would dearly love to hear that. I'm glad it's not just me who has had a change of fretless, tonal centre. I would swap the necks over on my custom Maruszczyks so that I could use the neck pickup of the J type, but the necks are specific to the bodies and the holes are in different positions (typical!). Not that I couldn't fill and re-drill, but just for a trial, it's not really a viable option.
