Not my dad, but a bandmate's... Back in the 90s I was in a pub rock/r'n'b covers band in Swindon. Very nice bunch of guys, we gigged a fair bit in the town's pubs over a couple of years. When I first met up with them to have a chat (pretty much the only audition I had ) the singer Tony mentioned in passing that his dad had played bass in the 60s. Turned out his dad was Brian Gregg from Johnny Kidd & The Pirates... that's him on "Shakin' All Over".

The colour is Emerald Green, it was one of the original special order only finishes. It's actually a pretty good price for a Pro bass, they don't command the same prices as the Customs. Gives me a good idea of what mine's worth!

There was some discussion about this on BassRat earlier. Opinion is split as to whether Stentor or Gewa bags taste better. Of course, some of the more hardcore types are saying that hard cases taste best and only wimps eat gigbags.

OK so this is a solo but it is a ridiculously melodic one. Makes me smile every time I hear it. WARNING, fusion content.

Go Away - Living Colour

Hoochie Coochie Naan - Muddy Waters

As I said in the other thread: There are many aspects that are a pain in the derrière, yes. But there were times a couple of years back when I wondered if I'd ever be able to play again. Thankfully I still can, and now I don't care how far the drive, how late the night, how tired the loadout -- I'm in two wonderful bands and loving every second of every gig, simply because I can. And for that I am grateful.

Eat It - Weird Al Yankovic

Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction

This for me is the crowning aspect of the build. Everything about it is awesome, but the back of the neck is just... wow. This is some of the finest inlay/marquetry work I think I've ever seen.

Peter and the Test Tube Babies Question Mark and the Mysterians

Yet Another Song About Weed - Professor Rex

Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo - South Park cast

The only cab I've ever managed to physically damage was my old Laney 4x10 Pro-Bass combo back in the 80s. And that's because it was in the boot of my Viva when I wrote it off by tailending (and completely destroying) a Datsun 120Y.

A Song for Me - Family

Pfft. Pathetic excuse.

Errm... yes. Or no. Something. mummy, my head hurts

Swan Lake - Madness

Yes, but as we've established in the past, you don't actually like anything.

Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) - David Bowie

Quick mock-up

Oh good shout. I bet that would look spot on.

Oh good lord I love almost** everything about that. Absolutely gorgeous. I await sound clips with bated breath. There will be sound clips, right? Right..? ** the gold/black hardware mismatch is a bit jarring for my tastes, and it's missing a string but obvs that's entirely personal preference
