1989

'83 Ibanez Roadstar bass previously owned by Paul Ryder. This was the bass recorded on first two Mondays albums "Squirel & G Man" & "Bummed". Instrument can be seen in quite a few videos, including G-Mex, & was played on that classic TOTP with Roses .

Bought instrument in early nineties, & played it myself in the band I was in at the time. One time after gig at Hacienda (unsigned night), met ex-owner. Also chatted with Derek Ryder, who told me he used to set the bass up himself. Which could probably explain a lot of things...when I got it.

It's a nice bass, & now getting quite collectable in it's own right.
