[quote name='MB1' post='91831' date='Nov 20 2007, 09:21 PM'],not sure Bruce Foxton has a signature model.[/quote]

He doesn't. The signature basses were the CS and the Lemmy. The rest of the signature series were guitars and RIC no longer makes Signature instruments, at least for now. They are a very stubborn corp. and will remove dealership rights from a dealer if they get crossed.

BTW, there were only 50 Lemmy signature basses made and I do imagine he gave them some grief in the production process.

Ha ha looks like you could have an auction of your own on here, mate ....

I find it funny that Chris Squire requested a thin neck on his sig. Rick-
on his Instructional vid his hands look huge- I'd have thought he'd prefer a 50's P-bass tree trunk neck dimensions.

[GreeneKing]

I don't think that big hands necessarily means you like a fat neck.

Obviously not in CS's case anyway. Although I'm pretty sure he has a P too.

I've got fairly large paws and love the feel of a slender neck, bass wise too of course
