I knew I read it somewhere, and it was in Mick Karn's autobiography. Don't want to start finding the page as someone already gave the answer in the other TB : https://www.talkbass.com/threads/when-did-mick-karn-switch-from-travis-bean-to-wal.833442/#post-11862761 You can tell your guitarist that he really is a guitarist : not reliable. 😁 From TB : In his autobiography, he states that while in the studio, extreme temperature changes were causing the aluminum neck to shift and not hold tune. It just so happened that the Wal factory was down the street from the studio. They let him borrow a bass to get through the session, and that was it.

I don't which one is the good one and if there's one, but Mick Karn remained loyal to Wal even when he could afford another Travis Bean or when he played a Klein fretless bass...

So do I, as well as French, Italian and Dutch. Don't be afraid, I don't bite (that much).

By the way, who is Mark King ?

How many farts do you want ?

Are you sure he didn't look at it once ?

I know, I'm giving you too much... That's the way I am.

As stated above, look here : https://onlybass.com/topic/91068-ashdown-abm-king-combo/?tab=comments#comment-1700126

I've played Marcus Miller own bass, Alain Caron talked to me, I also played John Entwistle's personal Buzzard bass and I owned Jonas Hellborg own Status sixer. Would you trade that cable for a certificate with all this mentioned and one of my right index fresh cut nail that has touched these strings ?

Shipping included ?

Percy Jones was (and still is) way more interesting than Jaco Pastorius, but he was British, not American, so not selfish and not playing louder than the other members of the band. He also had nothing to prove to anybody as Brand X had enough notoriety for their members. That said, I like Weather Report when the 'Phons was on bass, ahead of his time in his approach, but without that “hey look, that's me playing“ bad habit of Jaco Pastorius. I'm a fretless player, but my main influences are Percy Jones and Mick Karn, and I'm proud of it.

A real King Combo sold in France for ... €450 Euros, yes around £400 GBP : https://onlybass.com/topic/91068-ashdown-abm-king-combo/?tab=comments#comment-1700126 Not sure about what the guy is telling in the Superking Combo ad : Valve? Yes, in the preamp section... 1200 Watts ? Where is the proof... It's only an EVO II 900 head. 8x12" ? I know there is an 8x10“ version (see above), but tvere is no evidence even by Ashdown of such a cab. Superking ? Again no proof nor evidence. Price is ridiculous.

And what about Dire Straits ? 🤣

Way far better than the original, indeed.

Took me 20 years to understand Jeff Beck and love whatever he did and still is doing. That happened one day, in the late 90's, when a friend of mine had me listen to Got the Feeling from the The Jeff Beck Group album Rough and Ready (1971) : that was it, he wasn't playing notes (out of tune) for playing notes (out of tune) but making music. I listened to the whole album and started buying the other ones. We even saw him twice with my wife over here which some kind of feat as he doesn't tour that much in continental Europe.

I ended up fitting (with double sided tape) the Bass-Mute on my Leduc PAD 6 : Motown, here I come !

'Phons phoned and gave the answer...

I read that it was made this way on the 'Phons request. Remember that he played with Santana (Mexican mushrooms can sometimes have side effects) and Weather Report (alcool can also have some strange side effects)...

Call the 'Phons !

The EGC2000 Bass is based upon Kevin Burkett’s personal favorite bass of all time, the TB2000. He has beaten these basses to hell and back and they have survived it all. The scale has been increased to 34.00” and features a hard tail string through EGC bridge. Gotoh lightweight aluminum tuners are used for this model to save weight and the gear ratio allows for a more precise tuning of each string. The EGC2000 Bass a classic design with a modern touch. Often requested as an EGC Custom build, the EGC2000 Bass was an obvious addition to the EGC Classic line. TThe EGC2000 Bass comes with 1 EGC bass pickup (in humbucker shell).The rear plate is powder coated with an industrial wrinkle black finish to prevent buckle rash. The control configuration for the EGC2000 is: 2 volume knobs, 2 tone knobs and 3-way switching. Price: $2,900.00usd

Nobody noticed i was telling crap. What's behind the screen is a "Whosenameisforbiddentomentionhere"...

For those looking for it, it's just the left of the left screen, erm a very small part of the upper side of the headstock. Is it the same as Alphonso Johnson ?

Sounds like an old Lanz tractor !
