Clarky Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Must have marked the beginning of his 'Buy British' credo (Triumph bikes, Shuker basses, Rotosound strings, Ashdown amps, Doc Marten boots!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ha, yeah I remember that vid, but he soon saw the error of his ways and went back to the Precision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswilliams666 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Just another mistake that made him realised he needed his Fender.

Deep Thought Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I have a certain fondness for this era of the Stranglers' career, some gloriously daft, not-taking-themselves-too-seriously videos around this time, like 'Duchess', this one, and my favourite, 'Nuclear device'. Can't get on with the idea of JJ playing a bass with an over/under headstock-besides, I think WALs are ugly as sin, look like the body's been done by a DIY merchant to me. He plays a natural finish Precision in the 'Who wants the World' vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 JJB is one of my all time favourite musical heroes. Always loved the intro to this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-fw7a16Gw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-fw7a16Gw[/url] what a tone!
