Clapton and Action Man?

Aren't they touring again?

Does he? And 'enamel braille spots'?? I see he twice reminded us of his magnum opus, ' A night out in Langney'.

Is that a mini-toggle switch, top left? I've heard that some of these Chinese basses with actives arrive with the actives dud, defunct, and the buyer puts new actives in, or just leaves the bass passive, which is what I thi8nk's happened here.

The E looks like it's floating!

Absolutely no side contact in the nut for that E string. In fact, it looks like its floating! Also, what does this mean? '....I changed it a bit and joined all the earth returns a bit differently.'

When the 'Bobcat' one got 'released', some wag on here asked 'Why is there an owl on the front cover?' 😆

The 'Rumours' Omega Alembic is up to $22.5K

That's a whole household clear-out!

Egg-slicer nut. And, has he started doing serial numbers??

You reckon? That's an F of money.

I've had a couple of Strat ones that were really big profile but actually felt good. I also ordered a fat profile for a 51 P I knocked up a few years ago, Sadly, they made the headstock a few mm longer than it should have been. I couldn't trim it as that would have made the tuner baseplate proud of the headstock. Also, after a few months the rod develop a rattle.

He's known on here and on Facebook Ricky group. I would have had a punt on that if it had been a red or natural one.

Spotted this on surf. Aria 4005 copy. Shame it's in the US as I quite like it, especially those black butterbean tuners!

I like the one where he's doing that GOT stuff and there's a malfunction in the flywire motor (or operator error) and he shoots up into the truss and gets stuck!

Oh, God, you've just reminded me of a guy who used to construct those things. 😞

That's excruciating!

Christ, that's bad.

Worst bass solo? Derek Smalls' 'Bass Odyssey'. Or anything, anything, solo by Billy Sheehan.

Don't like it. Wasn't a fan of the 4005 anyway. I heard they put up a few 4002 models on their Boutique a while back. That's a model they should put back into production. That, and the RM1999.

Yeh, they're advertised as such. I think it's the WD neck. It's a fuller profile than I expected and the 'board is a SLAB, alright! It's very playable but I'm thinking of taking a radius block to it!

Madonna's 'Erotica'. One can hear her singing breathlessly 'Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie. Run you hands all over my body!' Also, in 'La Isla Bonita' she sings 'Young girls with eyes like potatoes'.

That one at the top left.

That's a right kludge!
