Awesome, I absolutely love everything about that. The bass sounds incredible. 👏

This just popped up in my YouTube feed:

Sorry for not getting back to you on the live album question. Unfortunately my enquiries proved to be a dead end and nobody I know has a copy. 😕

I’d not even heard of that one and apart from seeing a couple of gigs when Paul Robert’s had joined, I pretty much lost interest in the band after Hugh left. I’m still in touch with a couple of mates who were a bit more hard-core Stranglers fans so I’ll ask them as it’s possible one of them may have it.

This track was inspired by the true story of Issei Sagawa, a Japanese lust murderer, cannibal, and necrophiliac known for the killing of Renée Hartevelt in Paris in 1981. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issei_Sagawa#:~:text=Issei Sagawa (佐川 一政,Hartevelt in Paris in 1981. The La Folie album is about different aspects of "The Madness of Love" and conceptually, each of the songs on the album was intended to explore a different kind of "love"

They're very tempting but, like you, I don't need another bass, fretless or otherwise. I think GAS is very magnetic but I am going to resist. I am going to resist. I am going to resist. I am going to resist....

This just dropped on Anderton's YouTube channel. They sound excellent and that black fretless looks gorgeous.

Oh damn! Never mind, at least it’s the same month. I’d love a 62 slab board Precision though, particularly if it was a May model.

That neck was born on the same day as me!

Same here. I really don’t like Facebook and hate that there seems to be an expectation that everyone in the world has Facebook. It’s a bit like Americans who don’t realise that a whole world exists beyond its borders.

Ha, yes. That’s what I thought too. Also, there’s no definitive confirmation that it actually was his uncle’s bass. Whilst they seem sure it was, they don’t say how they verified it other than it went missing in the 70s and this instrument turned up a couple of blocks away. 🤷🏻‍♂️
