Get a sensible stand, Jack!

It was quite a strong gust, Roger. In truth, I had no idea a bass could blow off a bass bar like that.

From now on I'll just lay it down on its back in its gigbag, on the ground next to me. 

Incidentally, the entire fingerboard popped clean off, two seams opened, and the soundpost moved. I took it to the nearest DB specialist today ... £180 to put it back together.

That's my utterly gorgeous and uber-lightweight Mike Lull 54P.

I bought it from a guy in Denmark because ... erm ... well, I liked the colour actually. To my complete amazement, it became my instant go-to bass for anything needing a chunky 4-string sound. It has fought off some very serious opposition to achieve that.

Yes, who was that masked camerawoman, I wanted to thank her!

Pah, all this when for once I wasn't actually wearing a mask at all! (What with us being outdoors etc.) 9_9

It has also fought off several attempts by other bassists to buy it. No, it's NOT for sale. 😉

But to be REALLY cool you need bullet holes. Drag optional...

Judging by the photo, "whatever is holding this one up" is four more petite women wearing sensible dresses, hidden from view by the body of the bass.
