    Just in case some of you didn't know, ex-Japan bassist Mick Karn has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Its in his brain lungs etc, so an appeal has been launched to rause funds for medical treatment for him, as his financial situation is, frankly, dire.

    You can read the full story here: www.mickkarn.net

    Prometeus guitars of Italy have donated a fretless bass for auction to help raise funds

    Have a look and see if its something that could brighten up your studio a little! Or else just donate, if you can, however small the amount, to the appeal. There's a paypal thingy on the page.

    Thanks for reading guys
    Apologies if this is against board rules.

    Regards

    Mick

    Latest update from Mick's website is that he's been able to move to London for treatment ... and he's working again. Mick and Peter Murphy (Bauhaus) are reforming Dali's Car for an album. Now, I don't expect it to be the same as the cult 1984 album, but it ought to be good.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.
