[quote name='Francis Pettifer' timestamp='1376933970' post='2181168'] Look, ok, I admit it, like the long lost prodigal son, I have been found, and am most grateful for all of your searching, and as a mark of respect to you all, I am only too happy to answer ANY questions that you may have concerning my past 16 or so years, indeed, any other topics may also be considered. I can't, however, promise I'll respond every day, or that any of your prayers will be answered (as in Bruce Almighty) that would be silly, but I will do my best to communicate as frequently as possible. 'Keep the faith' [/quote] Yeah... but what about that legs thing, man?

[quote name='Francis Pettifer' timestamp='1376873188' post='2180298'] Ah, yes, I see..hmph. I am graciously honoured, and somewhat bemused at the comments that you have all made. Yes, indeed, it's no longer a mystery, I admit it, its me.. I was hard up at the time, and was desperate for a new set of strings which bassist magazine gave as a reward for writing in. Id boiled my old Elites in water and vinagar and they were sh..ed. They did cock up the article and forgot to include my name, but after a couple of faxes they got it right, and I was duly rewarded with a couple of sets (5 string) of Rotosound strings. Trace Elliot loved the article and gave me some goodies including a T shirt and a guitar strap that I still use. The bass was indeed a Bass Collection SB315, and I had replaced the pickups with the famous BassLines actiives...They sounded FAT. I still use the 1x18 bottom cab (it was custom made for me by Trace, and has been 100% reliable. (I have literally used it for hundreds of gigs). I still use the 4x5 bright box, but have replaced the 2x10 with a Trace 4x10. I still gig regularly in and around the Coventry/Midlands areas, and yes, I am, [b]Fran Pettifer[/b].....(the waistcoat, sadly, was stolen at a gig), I've sold the Bass Collection, and now use a Yamaha TRB5p. [/quote] You are a 'kin legend, Sir. Don't disappear... we need your blood, man. Just curious: what [b] [i]was [/i][/b]going on with the legs thing...?

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1375790152' post='2165574'] Exactly! No zoom required - it's an N6- - - - - so in my book it's a USA made in '96 & looks just how a American Standard, (with a 50th anniversary badge) should look. The thing is being advertised as something it ain't, I'm pretty damn certain of that [/quote]This. All this.
