Totally. It was more just showing you don't have to stick to the rules to still have a bluegrass vibe. Nothing wrong with sticking with traditional bluegrass either if that's what you want.

I know it's a bit of a cliché to say Jimi Hendrix was good, but I've just been listening to some live stuff and this from the Royal Albert Hall is sublime. The combination of his voice and guitar compliment each other perfectly and are just beautiful as they wash over you.

If it's just for some fun jamming then it doesn't have to be strictly traditional bluegrass and some fun can be had with the basslines. Given that they aren't using traditional instruments then I see no reason for you to. Ignoring the boring regimented parameters of genres take a look at Bela Fleck & The Flecktones (what's known as 'New Grass' I think) and Victor Wooten is happy playing funky basslines on a far from traditional electric bass, and God only has knows what 'Future Man', Wooten's brother, is playing, a Synthaxedrumitar if memory serves. It has the traditionalists running for the mountains, oh hang on, they're already up there. 😉

I've just had the same. She's on her way!! 😁

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

The Ibanez Talman short scale is a great bass, but it is heavy due to it's relatively large body.

Band Of Gold - Freda Payne

Well it puts a new spin on things, seams a bit pointless though.

Congrats @Reggaebass, it looks fantastic, and I bet it sounds it too. I'm a Yammy fan by luck really. My first proper bass, after some ply, no-name SG thing, was a mint green Attitude Special. I didn't know who Billy Sheehan was, or care, I just loved the look of it. I learnt and gigged on that for a couple of years then traded it in for a brand new black BBG5S. I gigged that bass for around ten years as my only bass. Then went back to fours. I only sold it last year. Presently my only Yamaha is my tobacco burst BEX4, which is superb. Every time I play a Yamaha it's like coming home. Enjoy your new Yam. 🙂👍

China Girl - Iggy Pop (It's better than Bowie's, )

I've recently got into Ultravox. I knew three or four of the big hits but never really looked any further, despite liking the ones I knew. I was working in the garden a couple of weeks ago and did the "Alexa, play Ultravox", it was on for about three hours and I really enjoyed it. I like that there is punk/new wave roots blended with the 'modern' synth sounds. As an aside I can now see where Glasvegas got there inspiration.

Do a search!

Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere - Carter USM

It looks tacky though.

I wasn't sure if it was laminated or if the owner had masked and stained stripes on it. The edges do look a too neat for staining though.

Well I'm not quite sure what to make of this, and neither was the bloke with a plywood bass, some random wood stains and a box full of furnishing studs.
