I've asked what makes it limited & mentioned that it isn't 100% original becuase of the bridge - let's see what the response is

Heard this at the Jazz Cafe last night & my feet couldn't stop moving Drifts a bit in places but sounded great wound up really loud. . .

Just hit Love TKO - one of my favourites

Apart from dredging every single 'find a musician' type website for another band, I'd get my favourite songs queued up and then play along with them all - LOUD. Always works for me

I was at the Jazz Cafe last night to see the Haggis Horns. They were good but it was really rammed and not very comfortable (we stood near the back to get the better sound but there was a constant stream of people walking back & forth and the usual crowd who seemed more intent on talking at the top fot heir voices rather than listening to the band, grrr). Highlight for me was actually a guy called Jesse Dee who performed solo at the start & then came on with Corrina Greyson for a few songs.

If you want to see an amazing range of AC's - including some custom colours like this flip/flop purple/blue: or even a spalted maple: the check out Sleek Elite in Japan & look at their sold stock pages: [url="http://www.sleekelite.com/"]http://www.sleekelite.com/[/url] Some amazing Alembics here as well

I'll 'fess up that this is heading my way soon:

I've heard a rumour that two more Allevas are heading over to the UK and straight into the hands of BC'ers. A burgundy mist KPB4 with roasewood board and matching headstock and a sonic blue LG4 with dalbergia negra board and also with matching headstock

Love it, seafoam green is up there with sonic & daphne blue as my favourite classic colours

Not me - although I was the one that got him to check the date on the neck!

The standard Ray 5 plate makes it not look like a Ray to me - the round scratchplate is all part of the Ray look to me, lol.

I can't recommend these highly enough if you want narrower string spacing on a 5'er: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73202&hl=spector"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=spector[/url] This looks a particularly nice model and a very good price Promise I'm not on commission, lol.

Anyone else here told him via EBay that they don't think it's genuine? I did so it would only take 2 other people to make his claim of "two" a little suspect. . .

I've been thinking about why I've never really rated AC much & decided that he just comes across as being really dull. . .

I think USA 'street' price is supposed to be about $700 for the head & $600 for the power amp (relative pricing seems odd so maybe the amp will come in less than that). Not sure if it's dual voltage or not but, if so, then it would be a nice 'toy' to bring home from a US trip.

He does sound genuine but you can never tell. Interesting spelling. . .

I roadied for U2 in '79 (I think - may have been '80) - before Boy was released anyway, about the time of 11 o'Clock Tick Tock. They played 4 consecutive weeks at the Marquee and I was invited along from 2nd week onwards to help with some stuff (mostly some lumping of kit and helping Edge set up some guitar stuff). My bass playing at the time was frighteningly rudimentary (as it still is now, lol) but even then I remember thinking that I could have played most of Adam Clayton's stuff. Bono & Edge were brilliant back then though. Each week the Marquee got busier & by the last gig it was rammed to the rafters because word had got out how good they were. As others have said though - I still work in an office and AC's had a rather nice life being mates to a couple of talented rock Gods. . .
