Man! Just heard this in action in a couple of vids.... It sounds cavernous!!! How much?

Andertons seem to be first to go through them... some goodies here:

Do this four in a five....

Fad. Will be an un-played curio in the music room in the click of the next Internet gear search. ** Cries - surprisingly good double-bass/fretless sound... yes and you'll look and feel like a Richard playing it**

Look pretty good to me... would like that FF in a 5... They'll have to go some to beat out Ibanez's range currently.

I think they have to to align with the string response at corresponding lengths over the compound scale. If they were straight, you'd risk uneven response. My guess?

Oh well that's not quite so exciting.... keep walking, nothing to see here

This could be good... Or you could buy a B7K and an NG3

Sad. A great man in a difficult situation. Not just his struggles for black rights and playing jazz in SA, in more humble circumstances he was the support act the first time I saw Stanley at the Manchester Apollo who promptly blew him off stage with a great Clarke/Duke show.

Golly! Looks like a high F? Is it wound? Does it sound ok?

Depends on your use then. I've not done a direct comparison so take this advice as a start point but from what I recall when researching my purchase, popular opinion had it that whilst fairly evenly matched as direct competitors, the Zoom beat out the Boss for live use and on-the-fly editing. So stick with your Zoom if you're happy with it. From what I heard on YouTube - It certainly does a good Darkglass impression...

Not sure you'd justify a GT-1B and a Zoom B3n but it's a good unit. Regarding the fiddly editing.. that's all resolved with a USB cable and Boss Studio app. Dead easy and hugely in-depth. Disappointing then that to date, there's no artist patches or indeed any uploads on Tone Central other than the two starter libraries - which are a bit 'random'?

For dog-housers here:

It's a really great album... one of the most triumphant bass intros ever! Not to mention Bill Bruford absolutely killing throughout. All helped along by an absence of guitars... Andrew Pryce Jackman's contributions were overlooked I think but rightfully acknowledged by CS on his commentary.

Yeah sad... wasn't intimately familiar with their songs but I enjoyed their big singles

Wait! They were miming!? All those years and they were miming!? Arghghg the humanity...

Every venue has a similar legend... Queen at the Manchester Apollo... Anyway saw Fast Eddie and the boys in the classic Motorhead line-up on the 'Ace of Spades' tour but they were still using the Bomber lighting rig... very impressive. Less so Vardis & Girlschool supporting. Vardis sporting the old talc in the hair routine.

Chris Squire not to impressed at Noel's skills here at 1:45

Definitely an Alembic Stanley Clarke vibe from the body shape...

That catalogue is insane. Even if they the produce no more than the one of each type they used for the catalogue, that's more guitars and basses than there are players in the entire universe. The artist basses look nice but I suspect the Thundercat will be as savagely expensive as its brethren... EDIT: Oops didn't see previous post... £7k eh... hmmm. That's a nope then. Suspect the similar Yamaha John Patitucci archtop will be the same.

Interesting vlog on Janek Gwizdala's new signature bass here. He's gone with Mattisson but i'm not sure that will bring the cost down to reasonable levels even if it halves the cost of his Foderas... The double cut shape reminds me of a Lakland? Let's see what comes of the 'factory pricing'...

I am now a little gaseous for a Blasius

I remember it too way out of the way in Castlefields - quite a walk near the canal locks. It started with some exotic gear then got progressively more mainstream. I remember they had a shop-soilded Fodera AJ they were trying to off-load for ages... Came from the Wapping store where they were selling for a customer. Still bloody expensive then.

Hmph... maybe the seventeen last bass players the writer googled. No Hadrien or Mohini WTF?

So these are Brian Bromberg's signature basses (the 'B' in 'B Quad'). I think he's had a few companies make them. Currently with Kiesel: https://www.kieselguitars.com/catalog/guitars/b24 Haven't tried one so can't comment but the Peavey looks nice.
