Vincent are you here? lolol
Good interview..Book in the works..for YEARS..
It should make a Great Movie too.

You’re currently working on an autobiography. What can you tell me about it?

I’m working on it with my friend Vincent Gallo, who is best known in the film industry. I’m doing interviews with him and we’re recording them. Vince and I have been good friends for years. He’s the godfather of my son. He’s a huge music fan and Yes fan. He used “Heart of the Sunrise” in Buffalo ‘66 and “Sweetness” during the credits. Right now, the interviews involve me just remembering stuff about my life. I think the project will take a couple of years. We’ll see how it ends up.

"A Yamaha representative also brought a new bass guitar down to the studio. I tried it out and played a couple of riffs that developed into “Tall Ships.” I can’t remember what the bass is called, but it’s a Jetsons-like, pointy blue-and-red instrument with lights underneath the volume and tone controls"

Interesting. Anyone got a pic of what this might be?

That was a good read, now we wait for the book.

Probably this bass.

I was really intrigued by the rbxa4,too. it seemed to have a very different design concept revolving around the body and bridge construction,married to a j bass passive VVT circuit. Plus i think it looks really cool in white. But that bass has been out and about for a few years,so i am wondering if it is some newer version of that. The "m" just appears to be a short-scale version.

I have one, an RBXA4 w/AIR resonance system. Very light instrument, but best suited for slap/pop.

Still looks like the Nathan East body. How about some re-styling? Haven't seen one, but have heard decent things about them.
