I hear Mr Zon, plus a few very nice basses might be joining him

Yes

Hi there lefties - here's a little news story I thought you might be interested in. Promise this is purely posted here because I know how badly served Lefty players are by so many manufacturers and there's a time-sensitivity to the news: Sadowsky are testing the waters with a very short production run of lefty instruments in either MV4 or RV4 spec. These two are the biggest selling models so I can see why they've chosen them. They are taking orders from dealers up until August 15th. Looks like any of the colour options are available as all instruments will be made to order - this even includes the new Charcoal Frost & Burgundy Mist which came out fairly recently. Having looked around it seems they were going to offer Lefty basses through the Tokyo Metro team a good few years ago but the run was cancelled due to lack of demand. I'd guess they are going to see how this short production run works and will then assess whether they can offer other models and/or 5 string variants. If anyone wants more info then PM me and I'll see what i can find out

Although I'd miss Chris Squire dreadfully, I could still see Yes operating with Anderson & Howe as a core. I know Steve Howe hasn't been an ever=present member but I always felt that these three were the core of the band and they could probably survive with any two of them. For me, it's a little like The Who. With half the band gone it isn't the same but it's still fairly identifiable as The Who (although I agree with the above comment that Pino doesn't really fit properly - and I'm a huge Pino fan!).

I've got 30-90's on my Streamline and really like them. They seem to kinda fit the whole 'ethos' of the bass, lol

These guys have a new range of cool vintage style guards: http://www.fatboyguitars.com/ Not shown on their site yet but if you ask them I'm sure they'll be able to send through some details

UK prices on these are crazy. Last time I checked the dealer price in the UK was more than Thomann were selling them for - and by a significant amount as well, something like £30 more expensive to buy as a dealer!

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1434233720' post='2797918'] or that you probably supplied much of said gear... [/quote] Definitely not the Monique or the 66, probably not the TH500 but possibly the SL112's, lol

Looks a bit dodgy - someone in Dublin advertising a bass for sale that is owned by someone they know in Germany

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1433872680' post='2794764'] OK, still not released in the UK (early Spring, it's fekking June already), but they are now up for pre-order, so the prices are online... £67 for the Metro 24 (£93 with hard case)... hopefully not too long to wait now [/quote] Distributor seems to be saying they are close to being shipped to dealers now

We rehearse from time to time without a drummer. We use drum patterns from a keyboard and our singer is now a bit of a whiz at cutting the drums in places where there are stops and then bringing them back in on time - sometimes he even adds fills as well
