I still wouldn't sound like Norman, even if I owned this baby.

HOW MUCH!"!!!! - history or no history, certainly wouldn't warrant any of my hard earned.

[evilLordJuju]

How many has he got?

I saw him playing that (or one just like it) on Friday night

Perhaps that was his very last gig with it?

[Ou7shined]

He plays that BASScentre blockhead thing these days doesn't he?

Not to hijack in any way but just found this - Norman playing an Alembic S1 with the Blockheads at Hammersmith in '85 - stupendous tone and a stunningly high-quality video

It's been for sale at Andy Baxter's for several months, obviously with no takers, and it's now found its way on to Ebay. Yes, he's playing the Bass Centre Blockhead these days. Incidentally, here's a pic of me with Wilko Johnson's guitar!

That's a lot of dough! I notice one of Entwhistle's Buzzards was on here (and evil bay) recently and didn't sell despite a few price drops and it was cheaper than Norm's Fender!

The Blockhead vid is top quality in many respects, great drumming too!
