This aul’ crap bass was never as good as an Ibanez Roadster with the strings turned ’round for the ‘lefty’ player (especially when you are preparing to play ‘I’ve Got My Hi-Ace Van and I’m Ready to Rock n’ Roll’ to a fairly packed Speakeasy in Belfast in 1992). Funny how the interweb can transform past memories into present thoughts…!! :- )
