Trouble is you've probably never heard of the chap who owned it; Daniel Boone. He's better known to me as Dad
Si
I also have a Carvin Nomad combo that I bought from the bass player in Slade, not Jim Lea but the fella who joined the band when Dave Hill and Don Powell had to keep touring to pay the bills. Jim and Noddy had left cos they’d made all the money as the writers of the hits and didn’t need to tour any more. Funnily enough at the time when I bought the amp the band was being managed by none other than Len Tuckey.
i also once had a Japanese Fender Esquire that had belonged to one of my guitar heroes Mick Ralphs. I didn’t keep it as I’d have had to make various mods on it for it to suit me, and I didn’t want to change it from how Mick had it, and I thought it would be a waste to just hang it on the wall.
LACS would be a nice thing to own. Was it noticeably nicer than a normal Japanese one?
A mate snagged it for me when he roadied for Paul Young in the eighties. Super long, I used to be able to walk infront of the stage during soundchecks to get an idea of our live mix.
Not exactly rock royalty mind...
An hilarious fact about that classic one-hit-wonder Beautiful Sunday is the fact that it holds the record for biggest selling single by a western artist in Japan beating some reasonably stiff competition. I've laughed with the old man about this. I do wonder if Mariah, Celine, Whitney, Elton, The Beatles et al. lay awake in bed at night at night thinking 'fucking Daniel Boone'

I've finally managed to get a copy of that this week, haven't watched it yet, I expect I'll be looking for one soon :-))
Do these count?
