When Leo Fender met a Basschat Legend

This has been posted on here before, but I think it deserves it's own thread.

One of these chaps is a font of knowledge on all things Fender. The other is called Leo.

Oh, aye.. forgot to mention that one of them is one of BC's own.

Missed that first time around

[Marvin]

Excellent idea WoT. That Leo, lucky man.


Can we all use it for the tenuous claim to fame thread.

"we share internet space with BassDoc, who happened to meet Leo Fender"

[OldGit]

Wow Just two degrees of separation!

[Sean]

Come on, caption competition!

Who's first?

[GreeneKing]

I don't know about a caption but only an American would wear those pants

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Leo:''what the f*** have you done there? That's still not quite right''

[Sean]

"See that? This time I think I'm a step ahead of John East."

Trousers, if you please. We're not in Kansas anymore.

But [i]who is that [/i]scrumptious piece of man-candy stood next to Mr Fender? Have him brought to my dressing-room for oysters and pink champagne on ice.

Hard to believe, but when that picture was taken I was pointing out the one issue I had with my own Stingray. The pole pieces had too severe a camber so that A and D were loud and G and E were a fair bit quieter.

Uncle Leo was very gracious and actually gave me some 'add-on' magnets of the right diameter to stick to the weaker pole pieces.

I'll try to load up some more stuff when I've been up to the attic to retrieve it - it includes a treasured autograph.
