"Among the many exotic string instruments (Hoare plays the guitar) is the 13th Dalai Lama’s double bass in its original, elaborately decorated case, which he bought at an auction in Essex."

Do you reckon the Dalai Lama was more of a Trace Elliot or Ampeg man? Shame Barefaced weren't around then. They would have knocked up a couple of righteous cabs for him.

Goes with the virtue of humility though doesn't it? We bassists are a modest lot. :)

PS wonder what the DL was doing buying basses at auctions Essex. Or is it that sub-editors ain't what they used to be?
