Every single bass goes through one man's hands for final build, setup and inspection. I think my Fender was pretty good when I got it, but it was about the 10th new American Standard I'd looked at. That's what you get with mass production though, no matter what the price.[/quote] Status basses are pretty special.

That is gorgeous, congrats.

Love it.

Here's my 1995 Korean Squier Pbass. Gotoh brige, EMG's and EMG BTC preamp, totally transformed.

[quote name='nick' post='607211' date='Sep 23 2009, 10:49 PM']+1 : massively underrated IMO. '24 Hour Party' people is one favourite basslines ever. Paul's now living in the States has a great new band 'Big Arm' , happy, sober & drug free by all accounts. Feel I'm pretty privileged & lucky to own his old bass, that was used on the Monday's first two albums. It's been on Top of the Pops, videos & several times round the World back in the day. If only it could talk, bet it would have some 'interesting' stories to tell [/quote]Ya kept that quiet didn't ya. Did you have it when you played with Scorpio?

Fantastic post.

[quote name='Clarky' post='607610' date='Sep 24 2009, 12:42 PM']Current band (as Ramones no more): Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds[/quote] Get in line Clarky. Funkadelic, The Beatles, Stump.

String through, 2 band eq, sunburst, retro? Oh, you mean like this? Sheepish about left handers? Do I look bothered?

Hi Steve, if you wanna come to the Wirral, you can try mine but I've got somebody who is very interested. You can try my SVT IIP too, as long as you bring your amps.

Happy Mondays are, were, one of the best bands ever.

[quote name='deaver' post='606093' date='Sep 22 2009, 09:00 PM']I (dimly) remember some surprise airplay on pirate radio (KLM? KLF? KFC?) in Manchester during the early Eighties - I can remember how different we sounded through a car radio. Around the same time the guitarists next door neighbour said he'd heard us on Janice Long but, alas, this was never confirmed. Once appeared on Granada Reports, which some Mancunian old-timers on here may remember (the programme, not me)[/quote] Name them. Mr Burgess.

My old band Scorpio Rising did a session at Maida Vale for Mark Goodier that got played on Radio 1. I've heared our singles played in loads of indie clubs in the early 90's. It was weird hearing our album being played in Oxford Street HMV, then doing a gig in there and signing records.
