The bass with the "door knocker" lion head, and multitude of pickups... In all honest, I wouldn't be caught holding such a ugly bass. |

He's a knob tweaker anyway Keavin. When I've seen him live and on TV/DVD, he spends half the night tweaking. Graeme |

You can get arrested for knob tweaking as many a famous pop singer knows..'Zip me up before you go go' Mind you I bet most of us would know it was Stan just by the technique and phrasing even if we just heard the sound only and not seen the video. |

That video was funny as heck... Stanley puts the bass down so fast, it was as if he was going to collect his money for playing it, and with a look, of being done with it... "Ok, I did what you wanted, now it's my turn - where's my doe you owe me..."

When he brought that hideous bass to the DC area, he used it for one song then went back to his Alembic. |
