The Outpost Cafe / Vangelis gone to the great gig in the sky

The Outpost Cafe / Emmett Chapman (Chapman Stick) ... rip...

Not sure where to place this... I know ERB's are not everyone's cup of tea and not sure anyone here has one, played one or ever had a desire to own one, but the Chapman Stick was certainly a departure for players... only ever say Tony Levin play one (with Gabriel) and found them fascinating, but not for me...
Came up on Fripp's pages...

Overpriced too, in this condition... :(

Abused Nob...?

This has taken me by surprise... silly money, imho... but if this is original...? BIN, not bid...
Vaguely remember this being discussed but never seen a photo, let alone one for sale...
An extra switch is present near the pots and an odd "mark" on the body is reflections of the keyboard below...
The add is avoiding the "factory" word and throwing fretless in the same sentence...
Looks quite minty...

Fretless RD Artist on Greedbay... UK seller

Other Bass Brands / Peter Cook Axis bass... one of 8 built...
« on: May 29, 2020, 01:34:37 PM »
Now this is a rarity and no idea of a true value...
No connection to seller...
I know Flat Eric has one... but without going through his page I'm not sure if it was 8 built...

Axis bass on UK Ebay

Sunburst CMT RD Artist

Not mine... sure wish it was... TRC is wrong...? Never seen one in the flesh and Uwe is the only one of us I know who has one... well out of my range but looks drop-dead gorgeous...

« on: November 24, 2017, 10:50:47 AM »
Standard black Thunderbird pups... watching a pair... seller is noting resistance values of 9.44 and 9.24 (presume K) for each pup...

The Outpost Cafe / Blade Runner 2049
« on: October 09, 2017, 04:39:19 PM »
Anyone seen it...?
My expectations were stacked pretty high but (for me; maybe not you) pleased to say they were exceeded...
Big fan of the original so it had a steep hill to run up...

The Outpost Cafe / Home
« on: April 15, 2016, 04:48:14 PM »
Well, as of this Friday, just gone, we signed off on the house we've been renting for the last 7 months which is now ours, excluding the 10% we owe the bank, which is all we needed to secure it...
Been somewhat distracted by the beauty of the Highlands, and the uncertainty of where we would be living, until we found out for sure the owner would sell, then all the fun of the legalese...

Done-and-dusted...

Beauty...? a 30 second exposure of a rather fine auroral display in early March, taken just outside our front door... that's one of our 15 pine trees... a fully mature Scot's pine, of which we have two...



Those of you who I call my friends, and you all know who you are, will be welcome to stay with us if you ever find yourself in the Highlands of Scotland... We're 2 miles off the main road down a single-track road and about 500' up with a clear view east, excluding the trees to the right of the house... 1/4 mile behind us is all forest up to the 1000' mark which is Ord Hill... the view's none to shabby... this was just before dawn back in September... presently trawling through the many thousands of pics I'm preparing to upload for a website...
