There are times when her voice sounds uncannily like Karen Carpenter (no bad thing IMO) but I don't think it's fair to say she's a clone - there are just as many times when she doesn't sound like her.

"Slow" is a great song & she's got a lovely voice but the album is pretty dull.

"I found love" by Lone Justice.

"S" prefix starting with a 9 puts it at mid 1980 at the earliest - more likely to be sometime in 1981.

She looks like Dug Pinnick from Kings X.

If they are American made they'll be imperial sizes, not metric - you'll need to get a set of imperial sized Allen keys to find the right one.

The fuzz bass part on "Think for yourself" from Rubber Soul is a favourite of mine - it's also the very first bassline I ever learned (I used an old JEM fuzz box that plugged straight into the bass to get a suitable sound). There's some really great bass playing all over "Rubber Soul".

Both my Rickenbacker 4001's - if I'd known how much people would pay for these terrible planks in years to come.....

The only thing that is a total no-no for me are sunburst finishes. I don't like black or white finishes either, though I would make an exception for a black/maple neck Precision or Stingray. My other "most hated" finish used to be Candy Apple Red, but I've just bought a Stingray 5 in CAR that I think looks lovely, though it is a lot darker than many other CAR finishes I've seen. I generally like to see blues, greens & purples used as they're still fairly uncommon.

Apart from the original Steinberger basses I can't think of anything I would class as revolutionary. Lots of great ideas & tweaks to make things better yes, but revolutionary no.

Hey Zoe, good to see you!

[quote name='paul h' post='1032686' date='Nov 22 2010, 02:46 PM'][/quote] That's exactly what Joe Zon recommends for the phenowood fingerboards on his basses.

When I woke up this morning I had absolutely no plans whatsoever to buy a bass..... 10 hours later now & I'm the proud owner of this: Double first for me - my first 5 string bass & my first Musicman. It looks like Candy Apple Red in the photo but it's actually a lot darker, sort of a metallic burgundy. Lovely bass, and after 2 years of playing nothing but my Zons it feels very....woody.

I just love this 1980s Fernandes half size Mockingbird bass: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280591595532&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url]

I should be at the Cardiff gig - really enjoyed the one last year. Have you got the pole dancers supporting you again?

REALLY wanted to go to this gig, but I just couldn't get there. I don't drive & the train times meant I would have had to have left well before the end of the gig. I love her first album - it's one of the most regularly played things on my ipod.

There hasn't been a music shop in Wales with a decent bass selection since Livewire closed in the 90's. Jaydee, Status, Alembic, Manson, Pangbourn, Steinberger, Wal & many others - it was the best music shop there has ever been in Wales (if not the UK) IMO.
