The Last Bass Outpost

I’ve been reading Vickie & Jackie’s post on FB and learning more then I ever wanted to know about Kim Fowly, Fowly was one sick asshole going to their parents & making the case why they should let him manage that Band and look after their Kids and then have him & the roadies treat them like shit, just awful, one of the roadies taped Jackie’s hysterical blow up in Japan and after she was out of the band they would play it and laugh about it before rehearsals, that’s beyond cruel it’s evil,

A little back ground, my friend got this Bass 11 years ago & it was intended to go to a Bass Player of a rather famous All Girl Band, sadly she seems to have stopped playing & left the Biz all together, being left handed & really a Guitar player he really didn’t use this Bass he has few other Southpaw Basses handy, he did use it as a template to build a proper left handed Non-reverse Firebird, lately he’s been thinning out his collection & knows how much I love Tbirds so he handed over to me, beside being just a generous all around great guy we’ve been close friends, I’ve known his family since the mid 60s all his brothers play guitar & are vintage gear nuts, if it weren’t for them I don’t think I’d even own a Guitar or Bass.

In the early days of the Dudepit, there was a guy who had bought Entwistle's other Alembic Exploiter -- it had a darker top than this one. He was also looking for a video that had Entwistle using that bass. I located a video that seemed to fit what he described, he bought the video and it turned out to be the one he was looking for. It's been a dozen years and I can't remember but it may have been an instructional video. Now I wonder if it was the Rockschool video.

 Pretty sure I have Rock school around here somewhere that I Downloaded as VLC files, there were two series one with 8 & the other with 9 episodes, I also know I taped some from PBS when they were shown here in the USA, not the best quality but better then nothing,

I wouldn’t mind a 3 point replacement bridge if it were thinner the then the one on my ’77 Tbird, are 70’s 3 point bridges & 80’s Epip & Gibson 3 pointers interchangeable? I’m having a hard time getting the action on my ’77 Tbird low enough, I really don’t want to mess with the saddles & I heard that the new saddles are smaller,

Antonella Mazza has posted some nice photos on FB, looks like a great time to me w/ great players,
Cheers,

Yeah, but I also recall when Alice said something similar about Marilyn Manson, and now they are touring together.  Of course, I maintain that MM stole "Tourniquet" from Alice.  So there...

I think AC said, “He has a woman's name and wears makeup. How original.”

Nothing to see here , move along,,

is it possible that the engineers that developed the “Land Wasser Schlepper, came to the USA via Operation Paperclip & built this?
