  1. Yeah 90 means 90000yen which was the price and therefore spec description, ie it's a good one.

    I don't think 89 on sn signifies anything other than it being part of  the unit number that this bass is as part of all the E series instruments across all ranges.

    Time wise it's 84-87 as when the E series was in production. 

     

    I've had 2 E series basses and both were really well made and played as great as their reputation suggests.

    It was 1969. Lovely to see a lot of bands performing there that featured regularly in the Melody Maker ‘What’s on’ listings in that era of happy memory. The inclusion of jazz polar opposites of Chris Barber and John Surman is wonderful!

     

    btw, 15/- = 75p

     

    £12 in today's money!

    I've been listening to Ren for the past few months. It should be everything I hate about music on paper. Any kind of urban/ rap / hip hop normally has me running for the hills. But the guy is exceptionally talented and so much more than that. Mixing amazing guitar playing and vocals with superb lyrics. 

     

    Hi Ren was the first track of his I discovered, and the lyric " Some people know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope" absolutely destroys me every time I hear it. 

     

    Been there, and that voice saved my life. Literally. 

    All of the above.

    There were tears. Good ones.

  4. Firstly Jon and Jo my heart felt condolences to you both...

    I had lost my enthusiasm too, due to family bereavement and the free-fallout that followed. 

    My advice is to find some new music to inspire you that is in the now and has no memories attached.  It's a fresh step forward. 

    I recently found out that this young lad exists - Ren. He's inspired the hell out of me. I recommend checking him out if you haven't heard of him. Maybe you have - I've only just crawled back out from under my rock after all. 

     

    There's no bass on this one and there is swearing, but it's well placed.

    One of my relo's told me a 'dark sound' is the sigh you involuntarily give after having a sip of this...

    I concur. First sip is basically half a pint. Unless it's that extra cold rubbish. Then it's a dark dark sound due to brain freeze 😆
