The Last Bass Outpost

Yep, working now...

Sounds a bit like one of my cousins earlier bands (Mr Blonde)... he lived in Wellington some years back... now lurking round Sydney still dreaming of making it...

I run them passive, Tony, but they were the originals when the Moog board was in her, the damaged one now in the Peter Cook T'bird and the other still in the RD - both in the bridge position... they are both around the 6.5K mark and have a great sound...

I stripped down George's MB prior to fitting, as I was curious to find out how and where the coils were linked and have been tempted to tap-in a connection on the white pairs, to play with the sound... I agree with your option as I need to balance the pups, too, if only with a second pot...

One of my other concerns at present is what to refill my Marshall slope cab with and I'm trying to do some research re my 50w '68 "Smallbox" and my Hiwatt DR103 - both valve amps - and an ideal pairing for my cab, which I will almost certainly keep running, no matter how disgustingly scuffy and beaten to hell, but she will look much better when resprayed black... 

Anyone out there with experience of Mudbuckers, 12" speakers, and British valve amps...?

There was a billboard on the A4 (main road from Heathrow to central London) in the Earls Court area sponsored by the Meat Marketing Board showing sizziling bacon rashers in a frying pan and a big neon sign with numbers counting down declaring the "... Number Of Vegetarians In Britain..."

Reputedly one of the toughest "flavours" to give up...

Over 20 years since I've had a "bacon-buttie" - that's a "sandwich", usually served with HP sauce, to those not up-to-speed in "UK-speak"  

I once had a form returned because I put "Vegetarian" down as my religion...     

My family came from Island fishing communities, Pilgrim, and one of my uncles used to regularly bring home very fresh wild salmon... 20 years since that, too, and I can be precise on dates of going fully veggie as it's now my 20th wedding anniversary, here...

I saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon in '76, both nights, got some reasonable shots and an odd one (so I was told by a Kiss obsessionist I knew) of Frehley playing an Explorer for the encores...? I may even still have some "KISS ARMY" armbands in the loft, somewhere...

I always thought they crafted some very clever "pop", if you listen to their "hits" seperated from the main body of their work - "Alive" is the only CD I have these days, but I still want to get "Destroyer" some time (again)...

I would not consider myself to be a "fan"...

I tried the Aria's at the time, but I was Gibson, through and through so they just felt alien, but how did I fall for the Hohner's sister instrument, "The Jack"...? I consider that to be a stunning instrument, exceptionally good at staying in tune, an exceptional action and a great sound... similar to, and a poor man's "Status"...?

My daughter has taken to mine like the proverbial duck to water... I have been sort of watching out for one, or a "paddle" but none have been coming up cheaply...

Never tried the NS2, but visually not to my taste...

... and I'm still stony... 

Bret's grinning because it's Autumn down there... cheeky swine... 

That's just the tip of the iceberg, Pilgrim... 

Still picking up bits of my brain... Gawd, what a mess...

Hmm... Mel Brooks "Young Frankenstein" fits the SF bill, too, but tonight I intend to view a Clint Spag classic so my wife can do some cruising...
