A looong time ago, 2010 IIRC, I imported a Veillette Citron bass from the USA. Arrived in the UK only to bounce between 2 HMRC depots for about 4 or 5 days. I watched this on the tracker never understanding why. Eventually arrived safely though.

Let ermine - Paul McCartney

It's a love thing - The Whispers

It was a 4 string Ibanez with a humbucker - TBH I haven't even played it - mostly (when I actually pick up a bass) 5ers now.

IOU 0 - Bros.

Yep...Flea...there I've said it. All these comparisons with MK, Geddy Lee, Les Claypool... To me he sounds like a 19 year old kid with poor technique making noise in your local music shop on a Saturday afternoon.

Sorry...I can't let this thread go any further without saying the unsayable... Bob Marley's album "Legend" - totally killed his work for me. Nearly everyone I know has that album/ CD - their only venture into reggae ( well maybe "Labour of love" by UB40 too).

Stream a little stream of me- Nancy Sinatra??

Others in Brahms - Dire Straits

It's gone up since I first saw it...plenty of time left - will sell for loads more https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266737437470?itmmeta=01HT2K02MNYX3HN61KB7GC3Z1Z&hash=item3e1aca4b1e:g:NG0AAOSwxiBmAZfI&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HxkvfMdqO1tDEFEYAFBp%2Bx1L1fJUUzQA2Bu%2BshcWcryjU0hUYnLJyvm3zvIbw5sNitzr9JieVJCOScKzUxkcMxJyCzbY9xqxIC5v4O9iPVa7%2FazspTh%2BrnVch%2B7CBE71rrwE5wBu3bqQldecfjNdYz8Q%2FmUCl%2FLjWjcBKVFrQZe%2F3DEiRq9K0%2FDdiLklQt%2FZox%2Fyzp%2BG6u6oMKxk9YhhmvHalmqPZep4SM4KxFb8nEmCdr%2F7tEmNLwjo5gvrOx1Zq16nWmUIxTmjOyugYMVizUph8TYWCac%2BdG%2FVQGAywy2|tkp%3ABk9SR66qgNPQYw

Sizzling hot - Slave

I have a Trace Elliot Elf (its not a Trace Elliot!! Damn American counterfeit!!) which many people like. Not me!! I've heard good things about the PJB BigHead Portable.

Wow!! Twice as much as a First Gen. I'd be inclined to get one of the older ones and take it along to my local luthier to sort out. He wouldn't charge me £400 to put it right.

Spent some of today listening to Wes Montgomery. As a fan of The New Mastersounds I was amazed to find out that Wes and his brothers formed the original "The Mastersounds" back in 1957. We live and learn...

Common sense prevails!!

Relating to my thread about "Stairway to Heaven on bass" - I sent the link to a guitarist friend who replied "aren't you sick to death of that song?". Well TBH, yes....but there are other songs which I could quite happily never listen to again. Firstly, "Hey Joe" - the Hendrix version, the full length version of Layla, including the 4 hour piano solo - by Eric Clapton and (for now) "A Bat out of hell" - actually anything on that whole album - by Meatloaf. IMO the world would be a much better place if none of these were ever played again. Your turn...

The bass weighs more than 10LBs? That seems to be the limit here.

I know we've heard geeetards play this every way possible but I thought a bass version might go down well here.. https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.1790-2/10000000_770978667855224_2670692218194705908_n.mp4?_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=55d0d3&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6InN2ZV9zZCIsInZpZGVvX2lkIjo5NzY3OTU0Mzk5NTU5MDB9&_nc_ohc=PHPMxueKdMUAX-X6X3Y&_nc_ht=scontent.fltn3-1.fna&oh=00_AfBse_J8UJNHHlFF9c-uAlLowXD5tPwRSZZWAMhaKO4lcA&oe=6609D26B

You can see from this photo that the quilted maple is at least 10mm.

Matches the "like" emoji...

Smells like Teen Spirit - who cares

IIRC there's a video of just this technique of the SBL website - I think it's a guest tutor...
