I foresee a flurry of new BC profile pictures.

I remember the drummer on his solo album singing the wonderful 'Boat Gig' - a crackin' song

Hi All, The pedal is in almost perfect condition and shows only minimal signs of wear. I would prefer to post to folks inside the EU. I recently bought a pedal from blighty and got hit for almost 30% duty plus DHL charges extra. Anyone in the Berlin area is welcome to come by and try out the pedal. I have an amp here at home and lots of bass...there might even be biscuits... EBS say “The EBS BassIQ produces sounds ranging from classic auto-wah effects to spatial “Funkadelic” and synth bass tones. It’s designed for anyone looking for a fun, fat-sounding, responsive envelope filter that responds musically to the way you play.” -
Onstage with Prince you might have gotten away with it. Playing Mustang Sally at the Dock and Duck, less so.

You know the drill Daryl, what happens in the barn, stays in the barn.

Oh you just know I‘d be all over this if I was in the UK. -
It looks like you're right. The bridge is made of wood, but doesn't have the white stripes on it. The change must have happened ages ago though, because the bass has just been standing in the corner of my mate's living-room since about 1971. Also, there is a support wire connecting it to the scratchplate which is aged and rusted and appears to be original. @hofner experts, were there occasional basses built with stripeless bridges??

Thank you for the kind comment. I did just quickly photograph it from the end of the bed, so it’s probably just the perspective.
-
I must confess, I hadn’t noticed. I‘ll take a closer look when I get the chance.

Thanks for the tip 👍

It sounds like you're being very modest there ( typical bass-player) I'm sure your duo partner would say the same thing about you. The lead sheets would be a great support with some of those odd bass movements favoured by Fagen and Becker and, as you say, you'd definitely need help with the lyrics in general. Now I think about it, that sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

Wow, Steely Dan as a request? That’s fairly tricky harmonically to play spontaneously, it’s not exactly Mustang Sally. Do you provide a list to choose from or just jam whatever people ask for?
-
I wish I could say that.

Now that is just ice-cold, there’s simply no call for that.
