[quote name='redstriper' post='475678' date='Apr 30 2009, 02:50 AM']I bought a 1963 fender jazz bass customised by Lee Osborne in 1980.
I would like to contact him, so if anyone knows him please let him know.
He used to play in a Manchester band called Terry Gore and his Showmen back in the 70s and he lived in Bolton at the time.
I know it's a long shot, but...................[/quote]
I used to have a music shop in Bolton at the time and I did customise the electronics in one of his guitars, but I've no idea if it was the one to which you refer. I fitted some active circuitry to modify the tone. I couldn't tell yoou the precise nature of the modification but it probably involved filters. I've not seen Lee for many years but there's a small chance I might see him at the funeral this morning of a friend who played in Canon, the band Lee was in at the time.
Email me if you wish. I just found your mention of Lee by pure chance in a search on his name in Google.
Does anyone know Lee Osborne ?
