The Last Bass Outpost

I'm just glad France has super strict gun laws so mass shootings like Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan could never happen there. Wait a minute...

Strict gun laws won't prevent bad guys bringing in guns illegally across land borders, which makes Europe a difficult location to police against that kind of thing

To be fair, France does not have mass shootings every month committed by their own citizens.  Those 2 incidents were jihadist terror acts encouraged and committed by mostly foreigners (some were naturalised citizens IIRC, but most weren't) and directly tied to actual terrorist groups.

And potential terrorists in Europe can ignore the gun laws and bring in guns illegally across the various land borders that exist in Europe.

In Australia you can't buy semi autos (longarms or handguns) without extensive red tape and due process to obtain the necessary permits, and any rifle is restricted to a magazine capacity of 5 rounds.  We haven't had a "gun massacre" since those regulations were brought in after Port Arthur 20 years ago.   Lots of Australians own guns - farmers, hunters, gun club members, security guards etc, but clearly it's the availability of high capacity magazines and weapons with semi auto capability that are the main contributing factor to civilian massacres (in any country). 

Yes, I know, the gun lobby will tell us that a skilled shooter with a bolt action or lever action rifle could kill the same number of people while changing mags every 5 rounds, but you don't generally see mass killers using those weapons, which is telling.

Very sad.

Before even watching the video I can see the thumbnail showing a warehouse filled to the brim with unsold stock.  That doesn't surprise me at all !

 Happy to lay a tape across my Greco TB II for you David!

That's exactly where I'd put the pickup, given how perfect the single pup Grecos sound.

He was probably the most unlikely teen idol since Gene Vincent.

More unlikely than Jimmy Saville?

Yeah it has. . . are you using it on this project as a primary Mark?

Yes - it will share time with the surf green Nash in the earlier photo.  Because of the horrendously honky nasal tone when the tone knob is opened up at all on AEB-1's, they have one usable sound only - fat, warm, thump ... so it's perfect for this sixties stuff.

Depends on where you spread it.
