Doing some shows with Creed Bratton & the 3DVDBs. Last week @ Hotel Cafe, this Sunday, May 23rd, @ McCabe's in Santa Monica. Using my 73 heavily modded M-85. Bought from Jay Pilzer in 96 for very little as in those days I was the only person interested in these things. He put it on ebay and it got anemic bidding, so I put one in thinking I might push it a little for him and won, just over $400 IIRC. Already refinned and poorly at that, and had a Badass and those lovely Honkmaster™ 70s pickups. But it was a great bass acoustically so I kept it to play sitting on the couch. Sounded awful plugged in. But then it got the first pair of Dark Star pickups in 2003 and is now one of my best basses, and amazingly versatile.
