I have only owned one but it was a decent instrument regardless of set up. I could not get on with the width of the neck, but there was a quality and attention to detail that made the bass stand out from the cheaper Fenders and Squires. Pickups had a genuine vintage tone that suited the instrument, threaded saddle bridge was nicely made, anodised pick guard and the paint work and colour selection was quality and had obviously been given some thought. Its a good bass and the second hand instruments are a bit of a bargain IMO.

Most likely either: The Cure / Head on the Door JAMC / Psychocandy or The Pogues / Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. Would have been original copies. If recorded by me whatever tape I could find cheapish in a multi pack from Woolworths.

Yep and Yola Carter

And I wouldn’t dispute that. A couple of decades at the top of the charts would suggest that Kylie her band and her songwriters are doing something right.

For me they wrote a bunch of truly great tunes in the 1960s and early 1970s apart from Charlie Watts (RIP) I don’t really care much about anything that they have done since. That said any pub band that could write Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil, Street Fighting Man, Satisfaction, Gimmie Shelter, Start me up, Wild Horses (Flying Burrito bros version is fantastic), Angie, You can’t always get what you want etc is not going to be playing in pubs for long.

I once overhead a discussion where someone claimed that the measure of a great songwriter is whether the window cleaner, postie, builder will still be humming their tunes a couple of decades later. On that bases the luckiest pub band in the world are doing pretty well.
