That's nice. I'm a lefty born in 1961. Feels an expensive quest to source a lefty stack-knob jazz!

The Trammps....Hold Back the Night

I took photos of Lindisfarne in the early eighties at Leeds Uni. I vaguely knew who they were, but to be at a gig where 2000 members of the audience knew every word to every song was a revelation and made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. A truly brilliant live act!

I really enjoyed Geoff Lynn's ELO performance at the 02 Last night. It was the first time I've seen Lee play (not being a Take That fan). He was playing what I guess was a L/H custom shop pre-cbs Jazz with matching headstock. Anyone know what it is? And great performance Lee if you read this!

Oh and who played Fretless in Lindisfarne?

Some great choices with which I agree, esp Jaco on Shadows and Light. No one has mentioned anything by China Crisis from the 80s and didn’t Bruce Thomas play some great fretless in the Attractions somewhere?

I think you are describing my bass. Is it the one on the L/H section of the Bass Gallery? Nearly 40 years ago I bought what must have been a 77 or 78 P Bass new, but customised it out of sight. It was a 'Friday afternoon' Fender bass and not much good, so I sold it. This one (which is also very close to the S/N) above, is VERY heavy, but sounds amazing. I could be playing in the Stranglers! I feel like I've got my youth back (but not my back!)
