    Is it me?

    Having read this thread...

    ... it's fairly clear that the OP isn't happy.

    It's also not too difficult to find the band on youtube. I genuinely find the music enjoyable, but I would say that marketing themselves as The *** ********* Band is a mistake (censored in case OP doesn't want it to be googleable). The singer/guitarist isn't exactly a dominating presence. His voice is reasonable in a band setting, but not mind-blowing. His rhythm playing is good but his soloing is basic (maybe the video was done on an off day?). His name also doesn't scream "rock star".

    Solid bass playing by the way!

    It rises to just under 6000 m, though. :|

    (... and in the song, it's the Serengeti that he's seeking, not the real Serengeti. Poetic license, anyone..? :dash1: Pedants, the lot of you..! :P )

    Given that Kilimanjaro is 5895 m above sea level, the elevation of the Serengeti is at a minimum 920 m, and the equatorial radius of the earth is 6378 km, the furthest theoretical distance it could be seen is 252 km. We're about 70 km short.

    The serial number dates the neck plate at 1960-61 and the neck, if original is 87-91 when they changed to the 6 bolt neck. The pickups will be 1990ish to 95

    It's certainly interesting

    The neck is late 87 (that style of headstock logo introduced then) to early/mid 89 when the bullet truss rod bolt was replaced with the capstan at the body end. The neck is gorgeous.

    So ... who are Sire Global?

    "For everybody's information, other major brands of guitars and basses are manufactured in a number of OEM factories. This huge OEM factories deal with more 10 brands under 1 factory alone. There are higher risks for quality to be low within that process, but we at Sire Guitars choose not to accept any OEM orders as this can greatly affect our high standards for quality control. (By the way, we had been offered to make guitars and basses for some of the top notch brand that everybody is aware of but we refused to do this.) "

    That's how it is with me too. I seem to be able to recall melodies or even the sound of a voice quite easily.

    But I'm useless at remembering how many films end; even if I've seen them a couple of times before. I'm not great at remembering faces either, so I'd be a lousy witness in court  if I was required to identify someone - especially if several weeks or months had passed since the incident.:facepalm:

    Interesting.

    Would you rather go to a museum or library, or to a party? Serious question...
