A long long time ago, in a much skinnier and hairier galaxy... 1979.

Nice shot! What are the extra switches on the bass?

Electronics on this (and its fretless sibling) are one superfilter channel, one series filter w/cvq, with a bunch of switches that let me switch high/band/low for the SF, filter in/out for the series filter, and let me put the two filters in series, plus mono/stereo switch.

Nice bass Mark. reminds me of Joe Bouchard's (of BOC fame).  Always liked those batwing inlays.

Unfortunately it's particularly sharp but, here is a picture of me with lead singer Dennis Seaton from last night's Musical Youth gig.

A guitar based photo to even things up a bit. This is the Dragon Magic, former custom of the month.  I used it for a documentary film about Musical Youth in a rehearsal studio. Seemed a pretty good idea.  
 
 
It hasn't seen much action recently as I've been concentrating on the bass side of my playing. That's gonna switch again soon I can feel it.

Flip, is this Wha a Bass Wha or Guitar model? I'm increasingly unsatisfied with my Dunlop Cry-Baby Bass Wha since it chops off my Rogue's highs and I'm considering substitute it with a Guitar Wha... Sorry for hijack, guys, but does anybody has any advice?

My favorite bass wah is the old Morley Chrome Power Wah. It had the widest sweep I've ever heard. I've got one that goes between wh and volume and works great.
