Well .... don't I feel like a complete and utter c**t!!

So sorry to hear this, as she truly was (or is) one of the greatest performers in Australian rock history. I only wish her the absolute best in dealing with this awful disease.

Yes, I was totally shocked when I read it too! Now knowing that and going back looking at all the videos that are on Youtube.. You can kinda get a pretty good idea that it started really affecting Her some time after 1988, when you watch the vids from 1991 and 1993 you can really tell a difference and she don't move near as much and has a harder time hitting the high notes that She used to be able to hit.

Is this a custom Fender or a off brand custom?

That's a bass Fender had out around the early 90s. I always forget the name of it, I'll try and find it for you. I think it's Japanese. Give me a few minutes ... !

Edit: Actually, just had another look at the video. I think that might be a Fender custom. The bass I was thinking of was one Jim Hilburn was using when he first hooked up with the Divinyls. I think it was called the Acoutsic/Electric Precision, or something like that. It was made in Japan.
