Can I Kick It - A Tribe Called Quest

Original lineups are hard, albeit not impossible, to find, especially with bands that have been around for a significant time, natural attrition, as mentioned in this very thread, is unavoidable, at least eventually. When it comes to Pink Floyd, there are those who bemoaned the lack of Syd Barrett, for ages. The Who is a weird one, as everyone of the original line up brought something special to the sound, the same can be said for Zeppelin, although Jason makes the perfect replacement for his old man. For the ultimate ‘are they the actual band?’ scenario, look no further than Wishbone Ash and the court case that surrounded that debacle.

Far Far Away - Slade

Turn it On - Genesis

Gold hardware - er, didn’t I own a Ibanez 1605 with Midas like hardware? Yes. 38mm nut widths - er, isn’t one of my current, go to, short scales, 38mm? Yes. Heavy basses - hmm, what about those 3 boat anchors I owned? Um… oh yeah. Active circuits - yeah, yeah, I know. I’m starting to see a theme. Seems like, although there are things that don’t normally float my water bound craft, they aren’t necessary out of bounds. And there was me thinking I’m a fussy fart.

Call Me - Blondie (again).

Waiting for an Alibi - Lizzy

Given the price of the Maruszczyk line, by way of a First World production comparison, I think you're doing fine, by quite some margin. Do I wish the Chowny range was cheaper, but still retaining the quality? Of course, but one has to be realistic about these things. I see from an earlier picture you had a '51 style P bass at the Liverpool show, if you see the way forward to including more cloned/inspired by basses, can I put in a shout for a 32", modern P or P/J type?

Two Minutes To Midnight - Maiden

It’s Four in the Morning - Faron Young

At least it should cost him dearly in the lawyer’s fees department.

I think a neck swap would be aesthetically very pleasing. Nice pair you have there (stop sniggering at back).

A gear head eh? You’re going to fit right in.

Daydream Believer - The Monkees

Sleep That Burns - BeBop Deluxe

Common sense prevails and the ambulance chasers get to go and do one.

It's where the batteries live/where the original P rout would have been on the original. @6:35

You, Sir, win the internet.

Yes! Yes! Yes! A great build. 😍

Shan’t and won’t, big reveal required now! Work? There are more important things, namely us.

A bag of coconuts being dropped onto your chest.

A Washer Woman's Blues - Bessie Smith

I was quite fond of my old Markbass Little Mark ll. I'm sure whatever the equivalent is now will be just as lightweight and portable.

Round-about - Yes
