    Thanks Jazzy....and for completeness, is the top rack unit a stereo splitter??

    Nerdy Alembic question for you Jazzy....if you have all that filtering goodness on-board your Alembic, do you need an SF 2 rack as well, or do you leave one set flat? And what does the top element in your rack do? Thanks...and beautiful basses and tasteful playing from you!

    Re Dave Allen and Shriekback, this photo is from exactly the period of 'My Spine is the Bass Line'. When Dave was in the Gang of Four, he had his basses made by the same luthier in Leeds as me (I was a leftie so had no choice whatsoever at that time). However, by the time he was in Shriekback, he was playing whatever G&L this on is:

    I love the fact Gibson didn't make left-handed truss rod covers. I bet all the controls work the wrong way (only Lefties would notice this sort of thing 🙂)

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125213627688?hash=item1d27505528:g:5VMAAOSwBD5iN6J6 Has this had its neck/headstock replaced. or is it a fake?

    Nice to see a leftie band in action.....
  7. Piers_Williamson
    But he had a bass named after him!

    One of the best gigs I ever took photos at was a Dead Kennedys gig at what was then Leeds Poly in c 1983. This was when mainstream punk was past its peak. I didn't think US bands really 'did' punk. Until I saw the DKs. It started as almost a riot and descended into a full on riot. Unfortunately I was on the other side of the stage to Klaus Flouride

    Robert Gordon playing with Gil Scott Heron

    I'm particularly digging the guardian of the sofa/Musicmen. Looks like a British Blue Shorthair.....but that's for Basschat Cats!

    I went back to playing my Joe Osborne from my CS Jazz's (1st world problems I know), and remembered how good Laklands are. I think the neck design is more stable than Fender, so they hold tuning much better, and they are just beautifully put together (and don't cost as much!)

    And was this actually recorded on a five string and/or octaver (rather than what I think is his original Jazz in the vid)?
  13. Piers_Williamson
    And what about the pristine Wallace Amp!
  14. Piers_Williamson
    And technically in anything but one place! I also just clocked JPJ's bass stand. Perhaps it came with the venue?
  15. Piers_Williamson
    Has anyone clocked this yet

    Isn't the waistcoat on the right the sort of thing Guy Pratt still wears?

    Hairdresser's bass comes to mind looking at that colour. And isn't Fender run by a Brit? So be careful what you wish for...they'll be looking like Minis next (although didn't Enfield do a British Racing Green finish?)

    A really good looking bass. My favourite colour. Can I ask why it needs the skunk strip up the back of the neck if it has a rosewood or ebony finger board on it?
  19. Piers_Williamson
    I have properly learned something today! thanks for the vids 🙂
  20. Piers_Williamson
    Not sure I've ever seen anyone slapping with a Ricky before🙂
  21. Piers_Williamson
    Do you know the serial number?
  22. Piers_Williamson
    And where is the Wal now?
  23. Piers_Williamson
    That's a very pretty Jazz 🙂
  24. Piers_Williamson
    Blimey, these are going to disappear quick 🙂
  25. Piers_Williamson
    I wish I were right handed. this will be an absolutely fantastic bass for someone
