At the Tower of London the molem would be the guy working the axe if it was a kosher execution. ;)

:o :o :o

I've been to the Tower... once... back in '66... The Scot's aren't popular there... some bizarre English laws - The Queen (and her family) have the right to wear the Royal Stewart tartan, wheras me, being a Stewart (albeit, descended from those of Appin, part of the failed rebellion led by Charles Stuart; that's why they fled to the outlying Islands - there was an outstanding warrant for something or other :o) have no right to...

As my father would often say - "Not my Royal family..."

Meet Ziggy... ZG1794

Nice - all maple with rosewood...? Hmm... would she work with black binding to round out the picture...?

Oooh, that's a good idea! I'm really into this bass!

Actually I don't really like the vintage style knobs, they are too Fender-y IMHO - they look good on my '77 Jazz and '66 Mustang though  ;).   I kept them on my Shadow to keep it original but I think the ones with the silver disc are more Rickenbackerish. They don't clash with the BT theme because the bridge is also a silvery element inside the black mass of the tailpiece (and the screws are also chrome).
