LOL!!!  Thanks!  It's just that I prefer to spend inordinate amounts of time doing stuff related to the board rather than doing actual work.

LoL aswell! I prefer to spend inordinate amounts of time reading the stuff you've done on the board rather than doing actual work.

There's a picture of Kool playing what looks like an alembic in the Funk bassist special from Bass Player. It has all the correct electrics and the tailpiece and bridge look right - what it doesn't have is a truss-rod cover. I'll scan the pic tonight and post it tomorrow.

Alembics didn't have truss rod covers until 77 or 78 or thereabouts, so that would make sense.

As promised...

BTW. the article states his current weapon of choice is a Zon Sonus!

Body shape brings back memories of Keavin's old #16 (or was it #12?).
 
It certainly looks more fresh, exciting - oops, didn't I just quote Mr Kool himself?
