I think he has more than 1 headless Status, according to Wiki. Maybe releasing some cash? Think Quo are supposed to be touring this year??

 

Maybe he is just thick-skinned?

Nice collectable or historical piece for a fan, but I'd rather have my S2000. Being played by a name has little interest for me, but I hope whomever gets it is a fan and really loves it. Especially if they play it and it's not just a prop in someone's office.

Seems an extortionate sum to me and I say that as a big fan of Rhino, Quo and Status. I owned a Charger for a while apparently with a neck removed from one of Rhinos, nice bass but prefer my S2.

Well, he can sell this for £15k and buy another one for a lot less!

I guess :)

Like Nikki Sixx, he buys Nikki Sixx thunderbirds from Gibson (presumably cheap), plays them for 1 gig, signs them and sells them for a few K more.

He is actually a humble chap. He came to the dressing room (tent) of a friend of mine, Deke Leonard, to get a single signed - Man’s Sudden Life - that he’d bought as a teenager. Unusual for a bill-topper, I was impressed.

He is really down to earth. Or at least he was when I met him. I sold him a Gibson EB3 and there was no ‘rock star’ airs or graces about him. Dead nice guy. 
 

But yeah, Alan Lancaster’s Mustang! Or his Travis Bean 🤤

One of my favorite singles is "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and I used to play it. Was that a common Fender bass  ? 

Saw an old TOTP show where they used a Burns. I'm guessing a Vista Sonic. Not quite sure about the record though!

much as Rhino is an accomplished bass player, Quo were never the same without Alan Lancaster, it just seemed all wrong to me, a headless bass and finger playing 😝

Didn’t he use an Alembic with Dexys ?!!

 

Always thought it looked slightly odd amongst the dungarees (but, check the boss version of ‘There There My Dear’ on YT somewhere)…class.

I loved the sound he had on "Road Noise", the live Judie Tzuke album.

ISTR it was his birthday, and he played his derrière off.

 

I thought that was either an 80s Aria, but probably was his Alembic as he had one early doors.

Yep (and yes I had time on my hands)

He turned up at a SE Bass Bash a few years ago. Top bloke :)
