Ditto for me as well, at least on basses. Guitars on the other hand are Lead and rhythm, unless you’re playing a three pickup guitar, then it’s this, that and the other.

he was my neighbor in London in the early 90's.....always surrounded by spectacular looking women....
Yes. As you are aware we had small quantities of AMC’s assembled here in RHD (as Ramblers) up until circa 78.
We have a racing series Touring Car Masters that allows racing of these old cars. So you may get a Mustang, a Camaro, a Monaro, a Torana, a Falcon sprint, a Falcon GTHO or even a Javelin racing around in Thunderous fun.
Champion racing driver “Gentleman” Jim Richards (a Kiwi that has been racing here since about 1974 or so) decided he’d try something different (he has raced all sorts) and chose a Javelin. But a LHD one, I think there are another couple now inspired by Richard’s.
The one in your pic is driven by Peter Schulte.

that thing sounds SICK!.....
For the record, I know for a fact that the pre-Fender G&Ls were much better. More valuable too.
I remember seeing this album in the late-80'sat a friend's place, but it wasn't until I heard "The Kingdom" on late night public radio back in November of 1990 that I ran out to the local record store and searched through all Icehouse albums until I found it and purchased a cassette tape copy. I've had the CD for quiet a while now-
Ok. Sure. We’ll stop and wait for you. What. Too cheap to fly an airline with in-flight internet?

I would have to believe that if a universal bass-players pole was taken, a G&L L2000 would be overwhelmingly considered (as it is to aficionados); as "the Swiss Army Knife of basses" - as Jaco was known to say... "write it down".

In the works. Had to turn the half dozen chapters I’d written into backstory.
You do, a bit. It’s not as big a change as most tone controls, and is much more noticeable on a treble guitar than a bass guitar.
I can attest that the Legacy was a killer Strat-Shaped Object.

I had a Czech bass (that I restored and sold) from '85 that had two V pots - one for each of the two pu's. (no tone pot) By favoring one or the other, it essentially was like having two tone pots - one bassy-er and the other more treble...er.
It's a pretty efficient wiring for a two pu bass although it lacked nuanced on-board dial-able adjustability.

Why 'greasebucket' and other treble-bleed circuits exist, in fact.
