The Last Bass Outpost

I must apologise most profusely for my lack of attendance on this great forum over the last 6 months and more specifically for starting a project and not finishing it. I've had to admit to myself that I will not be able to pull the Outpost Cd together.
With 2 bands, a wife and 7 year old boy, a govt job and a rapidly expanding business I just cannot see me getting around to finishing it.

My house and yard are not getting desperately required attention either for what its worth. 

On the positive side of things my business is doing very well and my family are all healthy so I cant complain.

Thankyou to all those people who have contributed. The song files are still on the Dropbox server and if anyone is interested in doing something further with them then let me know.

Rob introduced COL to me about 18 months ago. Since then I've been able to accumulate both albums via fleabay. Great band.

I agree with you about the length, it sure looks short to me too.

Alter. Its richer and a bit sweeter harmonically to my ears

Serial number 614108 - Gibson EB1 Violin bass, with large V shaped crack on top, in hardshell case. Stand up pole for bass is present. Large square covered "trap door" cutout in back. Original pickup has been removed but is present with original brown cover. There is a hand made pickup in the neck with unique tortoise shell pickup guard. Bare wire on front of bass. Together with a handwritten note reading in full,

I was gonna say Gibson Basses but then that would be stretching things     Nah, just couldn't be bothered starting a new thread.

The bass is a Gibson L9 S, called The Ripper. Great bass, very underestimated, loads of growl. Had a varitone switch which gave you 4 pickup options, 3 sucked, one sounds HUGE.

Not according to this:

Australia and Mexico the same?  REALLY?    Must be an interesting criteria for gun ownership.
