the hardest-working bass in rock?

[Mr H]

Taken a night or so ago in Stuttgart by fellow NoMeansNerd Cubehead:



Wonder when the Rob Wright Signature relic-ed Precision is due out!

I'm going for a bath now...

I'm having to quell the waves of nausea as I type this!

Filthy ****.

[BassBus]

Bet it sounds good though.

[El Bajo]

I think I can see a pube by the bridge

I imagine that would have to be during my fasting time.

hmmmm...really..??

[gjones]

I hate to think what that filth by the bridge consists of?

[Mr H]

Catch 'em at the start of October in London, Liverpool and Leeds, folks. Silddx, perhaps he'll let you have a go, providing you don't wear your gloves.

I'm with BassBus.

It [i]is[/i] a pretty horrible picture, though. Made me larf.

[Clarky]

I bet his pants are crunchy too. Yuck. There's honest mojo and there's just bacteria-infested flith ...

I love NoMeansNo.

Although there's no denying that is one helluva unnecessarily grubby bass. I mean for god's sake Rob, JUST GIVE IT A WIPE!

Rob is such an under-rated bassist!
I'm a big NoMeansNo Fan. I've been listening to them for most of the week.

The bass in action a few days ago (muffled sound)

You would definitely be catching something if you go to one of those gigs, judging by the state of that precision!

And that neatly explains the state of the bass.

It looks like someone did eat their dinner off it.

Yep, doesn't necessarily mean it's hard working, just scruffy and uncared for.

Skin, rust, maybe some tar from cigarettes, beer...

Mainly sweat, Rob does get particularly sweaty during gigs...
